  • Holly Anderson.

    Holly Anderson.

    Holly Anderson's painting practice investigates sensory experiences between light and landscape. Hovering between the figurative and the abstract, raw brush strokes fragment into larger monochromatic compositions, building surfaces whose surprising flatness and geometry heightens the strangeness of their persistent realism.

     

    Sunlight permeates an array of Holly's subject matter, with bright bursts of white negative space disrupting the order of gridded geometric surfaces. These painterly grids of stripes and squares produce complex systems that bend or scatter where bright light flashes. Familiar subjects now appear in new light, composed behind the glare of a white hot sun and developing a new visual language for the brilliance of sunlight in the Australian landscape.

  • Tom Blake.

    Tom Blake.

    'Most of the work I do starts with drawing,' says the artist about his wide-ranging practice. The drawings are then fragmented and redrawn, and the new compositions incorporated into cyanotypes, hand-etched de-silvered mirrors, mobiles and installations. 'There's a balance between concept and formalism, and where those two meet,' explains Tom.

     

    Tom has exhibited in Australia, Japan and Italy, and has undertaken residencies with Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts (PICA), Museo de Arte Moderno Chiloé (MAM), Fremantle Arts Centre (FAC), North Metro TAFE, Sapporo Tenjinyama Art Studio, and Parramatta Artists’ Studios. He was a 2013 recipient of a Clitheroe Foundation Mentorship.

  • Joshua Charadia.

    Joshua Charadia.

    Joshua Charadia's work casts an aesthetic and critical eye on the complex forms of Australia’s industrial landscape. He explores the nature of perception and awareness by drawing close attention to these ubiquitous yet overlooked scenes. Working with the slow mediums of oil paint and charcoal, Charadia affords time to these images, usually seen in passing or from a distance. 

     

    Charadia won the Adelaide Perry Prize for Drawing in 2023, and has been a finalist in numerous art prizes, including the Jacaranda Drawing Award (2022), Sulman Prize (2020) and Dobell Drawing Prize (2021, 2019). In 2021 he was awarded the Fisher's Ghost Art Award South West Sydney Award, in 2020 he was awarded People’s Choice at the Adelaide Perry Prize, and in 2018 won 2nd place at the Belle ArtStart Prize. His works are held in the National Art School collection and private collections in Australia, New Zealand, The United Kingdom, & USA.

  • Casey Chen.

    Casey Chen.

    Casey Chen’s ceramics practice references historical illustrations from an eclectic mix of folklore, mythology and pop culture. Blending childhood nostalgia with long-standing East Asian ceramic traditions, Chen applies his imagery to hand-thrown plates and vases, which are then fused with geometric patterns from traditional sources. The result is a cultural pastiche, and a dynamic conversation between traditional craft and contemporary perspective.

     

    Casey’s recent work draws upon imagery and motifs from the archetypal tales of the four great classic novels of Chinese literature: Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Journey to the West, Water Margin and Dream of the Red Chamber. His resulting works are both a self-exploration and an homage to the rich and enduring history of Chinese porcelain craft and Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints.

  • Claire Healy & Sean Cordeiro.

    Claire Healy & Sean Cordeiro.

    Working as a collaborative duo since 2001, Claire Healy & Sean Cordeiro’s practice combines a playful sense of humour and an engagement with art historical precedents. The duo's work is characterised by the deconstruction and reinvention of prefabricated structures and objects into extraordinary sculptures and installations. Readymade materials often feature in their work, including Lego, Ikea furniture, car and aircraft parts, dinosaur bones, and reconfigured architectural structures.


    Claire & Sean won the Sulman Prize in 2022, and have had numerous survey exhibitions in Australia and internationally. The duo’s installation Life Span was included in Australia’s representation at the 53rd Venice Biennale, and the duo have been included in the Auckland Triennial (2013), the Australian Biennial of Art (2018), and Oku-Noto Triennale, Japan (2021). Major solo exhibitions include Post-Haste (2021-22), Blue Mountains Cultural Centre; Claire Healy and Sean Cordeiro (2012-13), Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney; Are we there Yet? (2011), Corcoran Gallery, Washington DC; The Paper Trail (2007), Art Gallery of New South Wales; and flatpack (2006) Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin.

  • Neva Hosking.

    Neva Hosking.

    Taking her cues from the rich visual delights of her immediate environment, Neva Hosking’s still lifes are semi-autobiographical, displaying in their subject matter and aesthetic structure cues from her personal life. The detail, careful composition and craftsmanship of her practice provides ample stimulation for the viewer, providing a poignant reminder of the unique wonders of nature. Neva’s remarkable works of observation centred on living plants redefines the still life genre by celebrating nature.

     

    In Neva’s work, the paper is as much the work as the marks she leaves upon it. The printed grids on the paper act as windows to both project upon and to peer at, to let the viewer peek through, and to keep them at just the right distance. Once framed, Neva’s works become windows into her greenhouse — an invitation into her personal world. Devoid of colour, focus is made on the line and form of the artist’s subjects to engage a sense of attention that enables the elevation of otherwise overlooked plants.

  • Kyra Mancktelow.

    Kyra Mancktelow.

    Kyra Mancktelow’s multidisciplinary practice investigates legacies of colonialism, posing important questions such as how we remember and acknowledge Indigenous histories. A Quandamooka artist with links to the Mardigan people of Cunnamulla, Kyra’s practice includes printmaking, ceramics, and sculpture – each applying a unique and distinct aesthetic. Kyra works with various materials to share her rich heritage, stories, and traditions to educate audiences and strengthen her connection to Country. Her printmaking explores intergenerational trauma as a result of forced integration on colonial missions, and her use of local materials in her sculpture, including clay, emu features, and Talwalpin (cotton tree), strengthens her connection to Country.

     

    Currently undertaking a PhD at Queensland College of Art, Kyra regularly exhibits in both solo and group exhibitions nation wide. Kyra won the 2021 Telstra Emerging Artist Award at The National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Art Awards, and a Special Commendation at the 2021 Churchie National Emerging Art Prize.

  • Dylan Mooney.

    Dylan Mooney.

    Dylan Mooney is a proud Yuwi, Torres Strait and South Sea Islander man from Mackay in North Queensland working across painting, printmaking, digital illustration and drawing. Influenced by history, culture and family, Mooney responds to community stories, current affairs and social media. Armed with a rich cultural upbringing, Mooney now translates the knowledge and stories passed down to him through art. Legally blind, the digital medium’s backlit display allows the artist to produce a high-impact illustrative style with bright, saturated colour that reflects his experiences with keen political energy and insight.

     

    Dylan is among artists who are rethinking digital technologies and artistic practices to consider contemporary issues around identity, desire and representation. Interested in the ways in which we can reframe the conversation around some of the voices that have been left out, the artist has made an important body of work that embodies a shift in representation of queer love among people of colour.

     

    Dylan Mooney won the Brisbane Portrait Prize in 2023, and became a member of the board of Museums of History NSW in 2022.

  • Thea Anamara Perkins.

    Thea Anamara Perkins.

    Thea Anamara Perkins is an Arrernte and Kalkadoon artist whose practice incorporates portraiture and landscape to question representations of First Nations peoples and Country. With a delicate hand, Thea answers heavy questions about what it means to be First Nations in contemporary Australia, and interrogates portrayal.


    Thea’s middle name Anamara is an Arrernte word that describes a river  and a Dreaming that runs north of Mparntwe (Alice Springs) – the place that keeps calling her back and has been the wellspring of art and activism for her family, and by extension, the nation. Perkins continues her family’s commitment to what she calls “strong and ready communication” and is part of an extraordinary dynasty of First Nations activists and creatives that includes activist Charles Perkins (her grandfather), Arrernte elder Hetti Perkins (her great-grandmother), curator Hetti Perkins (her mother) and acclaimed film director Rachel Perkins (her aunt).


    Raised and based in Sydney, Thea has family ties to the Redfern community and has worked in a broad range of community projects. Thea was the recipient of the 2023 La Prairie Art Award, administered by The Art Gallery of NSW, and won the Brett Whiteley Travelling Art Scholarship in 2021, and the Alice Prize & Dreaming Award in 2020.

  • Joan Ross.

    Joan Ross.

    Bold and experimental, Joan Ross' practice investigates the legacy of colonialism in Australia with a  particular focus on reconfiguring the colonial Australian landscape and drawing attention to the complex and ongoing issues surrounding  the effects of globalisation and colonisation.

     

    Joan's use of fluorescent yellow and high-visibility clothing symbolises colonisation and fear. The act of depicting people in this bright clothing and placing fluorescent objects in the landscape does more, however, than simply illustrate colonisation; it also highlights and exaggerates the foreign or alien aspects of her work and its association with the landscape and the cultural and spiritual connection to place.

     

    Recent projects include designing the hoarding for The Art Gallery of New South Wales' Sydney Modern expansion, and illuminating the façade of The National Gallery of Australia during the 2021 Enlighten Festival. Joan was awarded the National Art School Fellowship in 2023.

  • James Tylor.

    James Tylor.

    James Tylor is a multi-disciplinary artist whose practice explores Australian environment, culture and social history through photography, video, installation, scent and food.

     

    James’ artistic practice specialises in experimental and historical photographic processes. He uses a hybrid of analogue and digital photographic techniques to create contemporary artworks that reference Australian society and history. The processes he employs are the physical manipulation of digital photographic printing, such as the manual hand-colouring of digital prints or the application of physical interventions to the surfaces of digital prints. James also uses the historical 19th century photographic process of the Becquerel daguerreotype with the aid of modern technology to create new and contemporary daguerreotypes. Photography was historically used to document Aboriginal culture and the European colonisation of Australia. James is interested in these unique photographic processes to re-contextualise the representation of Australian society and history.

  • Natasha Walsh.

    Natasha Walsh.

    Natasha Walsh's practice is informed by an understanding of the artist as an alchemist. Known for her transformation of pigments on copper surfaces, Walsh's work acutely observes delicately-painted figures that emerge from the surface. ‘From the moment that I prepare the surface, it begins to naturally oxidise. I experiment with applying different ground pigments which change colour in response to this process. These paintings visibly age as I work on them. As such, my attempt to transfix time is inherently impossible and this interests me.’

     

    Walsh has been a recipient of multiple awards, prizes, and scholarships, including The Brett Whiteley Travelling Art Scholarship, Mosman Art Prize, and The Kilgour Prize, and has been a finalist in The Archibald Prize four times, The BP Portrait Award (London National Portrait Gallery), The Royal Scottish Academy Annual Exhibition (Edinburgh), and The Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition (London).

  • Louise Zhang.

    Louise Zhang.

    Louise Zhang 张露茜 is a Chinese-Australian multidisciplinary artist whose practice explores the dynamics of aesthetics, contrasting the attractive and repulsive in order to navigate the senses of fear, anxiety and a sense of otherness reflecting her identity.

     

    Zhang's  work is inspired by horror cinema, Chinese mythology and botany, adopting and placing symbols and motifs in compositions of harmonic dissonance. Her practice explores Chinese mythology – paintings, sculptures and scroll-like banners that incorporate demons, dismembered body parts and organs drawn from anatomy books – overlaid with illustrations of flowers, bones, scholar rocks and auspicious imagery presented in a sugary palette. The aim is to create a visual cacophony, a disjointed and disorientating mash-up of symbols and imagery in an attempt to in part reconcile and make sense of the fissures and contradictions that define her own identity.
