This Was Then, This is Now

This Was Then, This is Now is a new solo exhibition by British artist and photographer Gavin Mitchell. 

Gavin's work is often associated with Pop Art, in particular his iconic Geisha Girl artworks which juxtapose Eastern and Western cultures. His unique take on pop art involves photographing vintage Japanese postcards from the early 20th Century which he then enlarges digitally. In the resulting images, the faded hand-painted watercolours from that Japanese visual culture, are made bolder and brighter by merging them with modern-day Western elements.

SURF - Seascapes by Alberto Sanchez

In his ongoing series, Surfs, the artist Alberto Sanchez focuses his camera on the beautiful Australian seaside. Working from black and white photographs the artist takes himself in these spectacular scenery, Alberto prints, hacks and re-invents his own images using a unique hand colouring technique, creating his own form of magic realism where photographic documentary is meshed with improbable landscapes.

Discover these wonderful works where classical black and white photography meets Alberto's vibrant palette, and visit SURF.

NORTHERN LIGHTS

Northern Lights, Hamburg Seen by Alberto Sánchez is a new showcase featuring a wide range of images of the northern German city of Hamburg, all created by Spanish / Australian Alberto Sánchez, a photographer and multimedia artist based between Byron Bay and Madrid.

Alberto's practice explores the notions of urban expansionism, capitalism and how individuals see themselves in an increasingly overloaded sensorial environment.

FIRE WITHOUT A SOUND

Jorg Karg's latest collection is the result of 15 months of experimentation taking over 8,000 photographs and working with various materials like clay, wire, wood, as well as found objects. 

"Just to name some things, I covered a chair in concrete and glued around 1000 pearls on fabric. I bent candles, grinded stone for weeks and smashed a lot of beautiful ceramics just to photograph the shards. All to finally understand one thing:

“Breaking the boundaries means breaking
my own boundaries in first place.
Dismiss all restrictions. Exhale everything.
Start again.”

On the Beach - Rikki Kasso

'On to the Beach' is a new exhibition of works by Byron Bay based American artist Rikki Kasso whose work is characterised by his fluid use of the traditional Japanese technique of Sumi ink. Using this ancient Japanese medium seems perfectly suited to depicting the relaxing atmosphere of beach scenes from this beautiful part of Australia.
