Medium: Acrylic on Canvas Board
Size: 61 x 61cm
Price: $2500
Artist Statement:
A story about time…. The concept of time fascinates me. Everyone has a different perspective of it. Looking at the world through the past, present or future tense? Who invented it? Is it an abstract concept? How do we measure it? Numerous artists have depicted the concept of time over the history of art, and many have used the clock to represent it; Dali, Gonzalez-Torres, Chagall, Cezanne, Monet, Munch and of course Guston. Pictured here are a few recent works following a similar theme.

The longing distance creates and the seas that separate us will never change.

The reverse of the card reads: "Dear Stewart - no doubt you are surprised to hear from me. I am leaving this ship when we arrive in Sydney. I really am trying to get "home" to get my apprenticeship - in sail if possible. So we'll be able to go to sea again! Call me early on Saturday week morning will you? Haha (that's a laugh if you don't know) Goodbye for the time. Regards, Geoff (- give my regards to your mother and lads)".

Artist Statement:
One day whilst waiting in a coffee shop in Byron Bay, I received an email that our Australian citizenship had been approved. Shouting with joy, I ran to my husband and shared the news with him and my children. All the people around us asked what was happening and they smiled at the news even though they were strangers. And that is Australia to me, beautiful land with kind people who rejoice in your own happiness. Each piece has a different meaning: Three of them symbolize my three nationalities: Venezuelan, Spanish and Australian. And the other three are the pillars and at the same time the most cherished people in my life: my husband, my daughter and my son.

Artist Statement:
A literal depiction sits alongside a set of clip-art equivalences found through Google image searches.

Artist Statement:
Roaming in the subconscious, as sleep comes, it trundles purposefully through the landscape of my mind. Grasping at fragments of memory and imagination, processing abandoned experience and sentiment, disgorging ephemera, electrifying slumbering neurons; it scatters me across strange lands. On waking, I wonder at these places of which I dream.

The work was painted 'en plein air' at Murramarang and is part of a series of 'protest paintings', referencing the etymology of the word 'protest 'from the Latin protestari, pro- ‘publicly’ + testari ‘assert’.
They are a public assertion to the importance of the natural environment immediately around us, and the need to engage with it and therefore spare it further degradation, and are testament to my faith in landscape painting as a profound and enduring ‘influencer’

During December/January, I began to get violently ill. I was informed that I could not take any form of pain medication despite the 24/7 pain I was experiencing. The only relief I could find was clutching a hot water bottle to my aching body. Because of the constant exposure to heat, I inflicted burns on my stomach. While they symbolise my current health struggles, they are also beautiful in their own way.

Artwork Title: MY SUNDAY BEST
Medium: Oil on Linen
Size: 55 x 45cm
Artist Statement:
I have documented a family of Gums and the way they respond to the seasons, shedding their skin and changing in colour. Tree bark is similar to human skin, as it’s critical for survival. Their "outer garment" can be as striking as a gown encrusted with jewels.
When really observing bark for the first time, one may notice subtle differences in shades of a grey and brown palette but upon closer examination of each tree, an astounding gift of diverse bark pattern, texture and colour awaits; all integral to the tree bark’s beauty. I have a deep connection to this family of trees and my aim is to capture the intricate beauty of their ‘skin’, drawing the viewer right up close to focus on their “hidden jewels”. I aspire for tree bark to be noticed and celebrated through my work sparking inspiration for one to seek it out in real life too.

Medium: Acrylic

Price: $750
Artist Statement:
This piece was created intuitively and, to me, it evokes the vastness of the West Australian outback. It is also a reminder that there are many and varied pathways through our life experiences and, at times, the destination may appear lost. However, keep an eye on the horizon and trust the journey. Whether it be a metaphoric physical one, or a creative journey.

A girl in the painting is my daughter. I wanted to take without anyone in my painting but she was making a pose when I try to take a photo shot.
Normally I do not paint much people in my works.
But I decided to paint her in this art work at this time.

The viewpoint of all the images is at dog-eye-level, people are present but mainly as legs and bottoms and restraints. A view of humanity from a dog’s perspective.

Price: $1500
Artist Statement:
Through her paintings Betra Fraval graphically and poetically interprets the landscapes she encounters. With A Sea of Wildflowers (Ben Lomond), there is a breathtaking awareness of the vastness of time. Its mountainous rock formations date to the Jurassic period and what we experience of them is a mere blink in their history. It hints at the slow, but inevitable passing of time which eventually overtakes all things. To witness these vast wild places instils a sense of wonder and it is this experience that the artist attempts to translate and capture.

Artist Name: PHILIP JAMES MYLECHARANE
Artwork Title: FIGURE IRRADIATION
Medium: Oil on board
Size: 35 x 28cm
Price: $1000
Artist Statement:
This painting is from a body of work developed over the last year, comprising portraits mostly of myself or close friends.
Alongside a definition and spatial articulation of form, there is an attempt to build a tableau of the face to indicate and embody the movement of emotive states, one moment to the next. The face becomes a network for contrasting mark making and stabilised form, yet simultaneously revealing a temporal movement of mind.
Rather than attempting to portray a portrait as a fixed point in time and space, the transformation and flux of our own thoughts, emotions and viewpoints is perhaps a more real and compelling object to ponder.
Figurative painting has a long tradition, however its relevance is arguably more profound in a time of digital, social and economic transformation of shared notions of identity and place.

Medium: Acrylics, dirt, leaf litter and geological map collage on Arches paper and
Size: 41 x 29cm
Price: $650
Artist Statement:
Even the red desert earth is fecund, a magma of minerals, insects, microbes and fallen leaves. Lake Bindagolly is an ephemeral lake in far west Queensland. Atalaya species are usually herbs, but this one grows rapidly to tree size. Its leaves are twins and its trunk pulpy. I brought back the earth and a branch and painted this. It was on my return from South Australia during the pandemic, driving alone in my small car via Innamincka, a sudden storm forced me to take shelter in scrub near the lake, which is a National Park. The colour of the soil is like the colour of the geological map I made long ago of the north Flinders Ranges in SA, so I collaged a cross-section from it. The Strzelecki Track I followed skirts those ranges.

Every room of his house is crammed with them, especially ceremonial masks from New Guinea, Australia and Africa. I painted this whilst assisting with photography. They display the richness of human imagination and the limitless variety of the ways we construct our worlds.

Medium: Oil on canvas
Size: 60 x 45cm
Price: $800

I aim to combine the ultra bright light achieved in digital colors, with the physical materiality of paint. The tulip is presented as surreal and fantastical, its colors more brilliant than real life, thus contemplating the paradox of the real/unreal in the curated images of the online world.

Medium: watercolour
Size: 305 x 21cm

This work is about the innocense of children. I feel there is pressure on children to conform to outdated sexual stereotypes and adult ideas more than ever before because of the explosion of social media.

I whistle a tale
when the sunset unfolds.

Using a palette knife to create a lustrous artwork, my mind takes me back to the Australian Alps. Snow fills up the sky and cascades down onto the mountains and its surrounds.

Using a palette knife I capture a marshmallow pink sky. Although there is an energy to this work, it was a very calm moment for me. This landscape felt peaceful and safe, much like a home warming. Two lone trees sway slowly in rhythm and their soft pink surrounds hug them like a warm blanket.

Artist Statement:
Self-luminosity has been Indivi’s mediation for creating this evolving body of works, where the quality of letting light pass through, or being transparent portrays unexplained sensations in her being.

Something that is beyond words, eternity everywhere.

Medium: oil on canvas
Size: 46 x 60cm
Price: $3100
Artist Statement:
Like the mythical creatures that once inhabited our planet, but were hunted down to extinction, the descendants of the hunters now stand cornered. They have morphed into the hunted, turning into their own victims, bearing the scars of past rise and falls and facing judgment from a higher power.
Would the last stand be about understanding, acceptance and humility or would be the last defiance against the powers of justice?
The answer hangs in the balance…

Medium: oil on canvas
Size: 60 x 60cm
Price: $2200
Artist Statement:
This piece is a continuation of my exploration of the depiction of my local native environment. My aim is to utilise the paint in a way that the viewer has a feeling of immersion in the light and patterns of the bushland, rather than a realistic rendition. Although I use photos as a starting point ,my concern is to then let the painting evolve within itself, concentrating on nuances and contrasts of colour and line.

Recently, she has received her Covid relief fund, a bag of full of essential needs for food and 2000Rs($35.50AUD). She was so excited and happy. She was posing with her hand full of stuffs and four 500rupees to the photographer with lot of happiness. She is grateful for what she had at that moment. Her smile is my inspiration. Just trying to learn from her. If we are satisfied, happy and grateful for what we have, then we don't complain about our life and live peacefully. Covid has taught so many lessons to everyone. Yes, for me too.When compare to Vellammal paatti and so many other people struggling around the world, I feel that we are safe and well. I have so much to appreciate in my life.

This landscape started out like all my paintings do, purely abstract with spontaneous marks and shapes being layered on each other.

Most objects are made from sand which implies impermanence.

Size: 61 x 51cm
Price: $620
Artist Statement:
I love the modernisation of a time-trodden classic genre. This contemporary mother in a modern setting with an uncomfortably adorned and restrained child attempting the utopian perfect shot, unexpectantly spoilt by the washing blowing past the window in the background, a subtle reminder of the multi- tasked duties constantly nagging.

Medium: Oil on canvas
Size: 46 x 46cm
Price: $880
Artist Statement:
This painting celebrates the common succulent plant ‘Native Pigface’ dotted along my favourite stretch of beach in Tasmania. Pretty, rather than a showstopper, I’m thankful for the way it valiantly holds the dunes in during king tides and storm surges that threaten to wash the beach away, in what seems to me a ‘succulent embrace’.

Artwork Title: RENDEZVOUS
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Size: 60 x 45cm
Price: $2500
Artist Statement:
This lively painting was inspired by my walks around Sydney Harbour, especially sunset strolls around Rushcutters Bay. The paint is applied luxuriously thick, and the wispy clouds contrast with the chunky surreal water. It is painted from the perspective of the person in the water. I wanted this composition to be a little absurd and yet cognitively recognisable. I wanted ridiculous, but I also wanted it to be transportive. I think I captured what was in my minds eye; salty crashing waves, scorching hot sun and a perfect Summers day on the harbour.

White Rabbit Candy was the first self-produced candy that sell from China to all over the world. It was the collective memory and iconic product of generations of Chinese people.

While enjoying a free and independent life on this land, Chinese immigrants also export their culture at the same time. This symbolizes the gradual integration and development of Chinese culture on this soil.

You feel the remoteness of the land.

In this piece I am building on my understanding with what the medium is capable of. Photography allows me to add additional layers to the handmade paper.

The weight of worlds, is bridged by sinuous embrace. Skin home to land, land home to the many legged. Creeks and mountains glisten, wet with purpose, as two Titans gaze; one with intent, the other in reverie. Remembering and forgetting existence into being, through their entwined dance of polarity.

Artwork Title: THE FIRE ON THE HORIZON
Medium: Oil on canvas
Size: 60 x 50cm
Price: $650
Artist Statement:
These works use layers of imagery to convey the message of how the perspective of land management & development in Australia has not changed. It explores how the consumerist nature behind it, leaves no consideration for the future of the environment, regardless of the countless warnings from both Indigenous Peoples of the land and Scientists. With 60000 years’ worth of careful land management, it is painful to see the complete disregard of that legacy. The paintings incorporate the landscape juxtaposed with Australiana architectural elements, displaying the narrative of time, with metallic lines representing construction. This work takes inspiration from Clint Naina, Sam Leech, Peter Usher and David Ralph.
