FRONT GALLERY

PLAY
by Darren Frisina

CATALOGUE

Play informs my art from ideas and concepts through to subject matter and style.
This collection of works was inspired by childhood toys and in particular, the chance discovery of discarded vintage train set figurines. Once released from their forgotten corner, the nostalgia of childhood play was set free, a time for creating scenes and stories with no limits on the imagination.

Play is about enjoyment, experimentation, freedom and surprises. Play sets us on a path to discovery and creativity, and is accessible to all ages. Without play, we all risk growing up to become serious adults, something I think needs to be avoided at all costs!

3065, AN URBAN COLECTION
by Viki Murray

CATALOGUE

Viki Murray presents a series of monochrome images taken within a small radius of her studio. These vignettes of Fitzroy reflect her parred back approach to street photography and the commitment to always wear a camera.

“3065 is a visual diary driven by light, form, and shadow. Tracing my daily local movements, I departed from figurative captures to focus on architectural studies, wall shadows, textures and the fleeting urban elements that define the neighbourhood’s character.”


  

SIDE GALLERY

LOVE POEMS
by Milla Weideman

CATALOGUE

Love Poems is a series of small paintings completed during a period of recovery after injury. During the quiet months spent at home, I found inspiration in the joy, humor, and tenderness within my small familiar world - from sentimental objects to interactions with loved ones. 

Throughout the series, light plays a key role, emanating from various sources and enhancing the intimacy and tangibility of each scene. While the subjects are deeply personal, bold shapes and vibrant colors elevate them into the universal. This series invites the viewer to share in an affection towards everyday moments. 




 

  

UPSTAIRS GALLERY

NEW BEGINNINGS
by Yukiko Ueno

CATALOGUE

Painting for me is like releasing my deepest emotions onto the canvas. Nature and the landscape are my sacred spaces, and I express this through the harmony of colour, shape and mark making. The compositions are somewhat stylized to reflect my creative sensibility and radiate the exuberance I feel in that moment in time. New Beginnings is a collection of paintings that capture moments in the life I have created since leaving Japan to begin a new life in Melbourne, Australia.

Yukiko Ueno was born and raised in Tokyo, Japan. She completed her Fine Art Degree in Boston USA. She lives and creates in Melbourne, Australia.
