Florescence by Jennifer Allnutt
30 May - 24 June 2025Jennifer’s surreal portraits blur the line between realism and illusion, exploring the unconscious, identity, and transformation. Drawing on dreams, mythology, and personal experience, her works evoke ambiguous narratives through symbolic detail. Each figure becomes a vessel for repressed emotions, inviting reflection on the tension between mind, body, and perception.

Alexandra Matthews
27 June - 15 July 2025Alexandra’s paintings juxtapose urban landscape within boundaries both limited and expanded by light. Each work is its own entity but comprise multiple constituent compositions with light, natural and artificial, the defining and amalgamating theme.
Fragmented and shaped by electricity, incongruously, nightfall can expose things lost or rendered inconspicuous in daylight. Glowing windows, streetlights and the neon aura of the CBD push back the dark and add their magic, revealing things uniquely and distinctively.

Taking inspiration from nature and the old styles of the Dutch and Hudson River Schools, the paintings look to capture not just the landscape but the full emotional and visual experience provided by the world around us. With a strong love for the sublime beauty presented by the landscape, his paintings present the viewer with a full emotional experience that not only instils a visual, but spiritual connection to the landscape.

Bronwyn Searle
18 July - 5 August 2025Bronwyn has been painting and drawing, in one form or another, all her life.
Her current works reflect her passion for capturing the light and are influenced by her depth of experience in illustrative techniques. Bronwyn enjoys the challenge of taking ordinary, everyday scenes and interpreting them in her own inimitable and widely recognised style. Working in oils on canvas, she loves to explore the technique of chiaroscuro.
While continuing to explore the detail found in leaf litter and studio still life works, she is also drawn to the unique beauty found in ordinary settings. This direction suits her technique and eye for detail.

Matt James
17 October - 4 November 2025Brisbane artist Matt James’ art practice is focussed upon landscape painting and drawing. Having grown up in rural West Wales, Matt’s love of the outdoors is the key driver of his dynamic works.
Based on pencil and oil sketches created in situ, from photographs, and from his recollection of locations, Matt’s dynamic representations of place arise from a synthesis of memory and sense impressions. Considered observation of the shape of the landscape, the movement of clouds, the perception of distance and the shifting of light inform Matt’s thickly textured approach, allowing him to move between representational and abstract responses to places.

Lisa Christensen
7 - 25 November 2025Redcliffe-based artist Lisa Christensen graduated from the Queensland College of Art in 2006 with a Bachelor of Fine Art (Honours), majoring in painting. Lisa has exhibited in Brisbane and the South-East Corner, and her work has been selected for various prizes including the Thiess Art Prize, Gadens Top Ten, Clayton Utz Art Award and the Robert Jacks Drawing Prize.
Lisa’s paintings have evolved out of a “love for detail, colour and form, and the desire to convey something otherworldly with humble everyday objects”.
Extending on the rich history of still-life painting, Lisa is influenced by the Dutch and Spanish still-life paintings of the 17th century, that focused on themes of mortality through the depiction of flowers, fruits and other domestic objects that stand as reminders of impermanence in this life.

Blue Skies
28 February - 18 March 2025Blue Skies features new collections by Stephen Inglis, Gary Abkin, and Isabelle Devos, offering a playful, dynamic, and at times contemplative exploration of landscape. Each artist shares a deep connection to their local surroundings: Inglis draws inspiration from the coastal and rural towns framing the outskirts of Queensland, while Devos captures the vast, rolling expanse of the open countryside. Abkin presents the sunburnt, flat expanses of central Australia. Despite their diverse locations, all are united by the shared expanse of sky, creating a collective celebration of nature’s beauty and our place in it.
