Art Fair Tokyo '25.: Tokyo International Forum

From across a room, Holly Anderson’s paintings appear to swim in the brightness of a clear sky. Bursts of sunlight populate familiar subject matter – interiors, figures, skies, and water are monochromic planes pierced with white light...

Anderson’s painting practice explores sensory encounters between light and landscape. Moving between figuration and abstraction, her brushstrokes form geometric, often monochromatic compositions whose flatness intensifies their subtle realism. Sunlight is central to her work – flashes of white disrupt gridded surfaces of stripes and squares, bending and scattering form. Familiar subjects emerge through the glare, developing a visual language attuned to the brilliance of the Australian sun.

Recent exhibitions include the Museum of Brisbane and Firstdraft. She has been a finalist in the JADA Prize and Brisbane Portrait Prize, among others, and her work is held in public and private collections. Anderson completed a BFA (Hons) at the Queensland College of Art, where she now teaches sessionally.

James Tylor is a multi-disciplinary visual artist whose practice explores Australian environment, culture and social history through photography, video, painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, sound, 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.
