Between Places by Matt James
17 October - 4 November 2025Between Places brings together a series of landscapes painted from memory, where recollections of different locations overlap and combine. These works are less about recording a single view and more about evoking the feeling of being in a place, or moving through one.
Brush and palette knife marks are used to build layers of direction, movement, and focus, guiding how each work is experienced. Contrasts in texture and paint thickness shift the paintings between moments of figurative detail and abstraction, echoing the way memory itself works: vivid in parts, hazy in others.
At the heart of this series is a fascination with change. The vigorous, gestural strokes reflect the restless nature of the environment, always in motion, never fixed. In blending places and perspectives, these paintings explore how landscapes are remembered, altered, and reimagined in the mind’s eye.

Lisa Christensen
14 - 21 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.
