Artist Statement:

Tropical ecosystems are a central theme in Maharlina Gorospe-Lockie’s art practice. Before moving to Australia over two decades ago, she studied visual arts and worked in coastal management research in the Philippines. Now settled in Far North Queensland, home to the Wet Tropics and the Great Barrier Reef, Maharlina’s work draws on memory and observation to depict the beauty and fragility of coastal environments.
In ‘Gondwana’, Maharlina ventures outside Far North Queensland to revisit the subtropical Gondwana Rainforests which, like the Wet Tropics, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Fuelled by her curiosity, she explores shared and varying characteristics of these two places of extraordinary biological and cultural diversity and paints imagined landscapes and cross-sectional scenes while experimenting with a mixed approach and different painting styles.

Jane Thompson | Reflections on a Piano

July 18 @ 10:00 am - July 28 @ 2:00 pm

Late last year, Brisbane artist Jane Thompson spent some time in the sleepy coastal town of Brunswick Heads. It was here that she saw something that became an obsession, inspiring her work over the past 6 months… The natural beauty, the serenity and simplicity of this place can soak into your bones but it was her discovery of a piano in a park, that set her thoughts racing.
This piano is important to the community, donated, maintained and available freely for all to enjoy. The public piano made the artist reflect on the things society puts value on these days…number of followers online, outward appearances of beauty and success…
With this new body of work, Jane Thompson poses some questions to the viewer. When did we stop enjoying the simple pleasures of life? Let’s live in the moment. Enjoy the beauty around us. Look up from our screens! Why can’t there be more ‘pianos’? 

We’re excited to be returning to Australia’s biggest city in 2024!

Join us at Affordable Art Fair Sydney in June to explore the latest contemporary art priced up to AUD$10,000. Whether you’re an experienced collector or looking for your first piece, you’ll definitely be inspired to grow your collection at the fair. There will be something for everyone, whether you’re an experienced collector looking to add to your collection, or a first-time buyer exploring the art world for the first time.

Join us for our opening night on Thursday 11th April.

Nicole Fearfield | Moving Colour (solo exhibition)

March 23 @ 3:00 pm - April 7 @ 2:00 pm

Nicole Fearfield, winner of the 2023 Revival Emerging Artist Prize, enjoyed amazing success throughout the past year. After her prize win, Nicole went on to have a near sell out show in Sydney and a sell out show at our Melbourne Affordable Art Fair events. Nicole’s monochromatic abstract works are deep and emotive, inviting the viewer to lose themselves in a wash of colour and calm.

For Moving Colour, Nicole has created a series of high energy abstract works while exploring harmonious colour relationships. While her 2023 works were deep, dark and intense, Nicole felt ready to move towards the light, introducing lightness and vibrancy, with equal intensity.
