The champagne flowed and the community came out to support director Sarah Thomas and her passionate team, who continue to deliver magical artistic experiences in their signature space. Just over 12 months ago, Sarah took the reins at the former Van Rensburg Galleries. In that time, she flourished in the role, gathering an impressive stable of 40 artists – a truly eclectic mix of painters, printmakers, sculptors and ceramicists – who all boast unique styles and talents. With new exhibitions each month, stunningly curated, presented and launched, Gallery Alchemy provides an elegant, light-filled space for artists to showcase their work and for art lovers to gather to appreciate and celebrate art. – Whitewash Magazine – Issue #28

DISCOVER: YOUNG TALENT VICTORIA

Affordable Art Fair Melbourne is proud to reintroduce its much-anticipated Discover: Young Talent platform, showcasing six unrepresented artists who have been selected for their innovative and exciting approach to their practice.

This curated selection of young artists offers an ideal opportunity for collectors to snap up their artwork early and discover exciting new talent and techniques. With a range of mediums and styles, the Discover: Young Talent platform is not to be missed at the upcoming Affordable Art Fair Melbourne. Read on to hear more about the six artists to watch out for during your visit 31 August – 3 September at Royal Exhibition Building.

YI CHENG

Yi Cheng is a Melbourne based artist whose artworks draws from his everyday experiences and encounters. The resulting paintings captures a moment in time through his subjective experiences. Yi’s work aims to evoke feelings, creating an atmosphere and mood that permeates his paintings while presenting his experience in a suggestive greater narrative.

Yi is bringing a series of works to the Affordable Art Fair called BY THE POND which is a response to the pond in Carlton Gardens. These paintings represent a portrait of his experiences of the place and the ducks impressions on him as he translates them through painting.

FLICK CHAFER-SMITH

Flick Chafer-Smith is a Ngarrindjeri artist and Torch staff member who creates geometric, tessellated paintings inspired from moments in her childhood and stories passed on to her.

Flick believes her art practice gave her an identity to build on and feel accepted in the world as an artist. Through her art she has connected with her family who live on Country and is always learning more about her culture. It has changed her as a person because she has re-evaluated boundaries that stopped her from attempting things in the past.

ALEX KYNASTON

Alex Kynaston is a Melbourne based artist whose practice critically engages with the connection between painting and psychoanalysis.

Kynaston’s saturated palette captures dreams and emotional traces of the everyday throughout her work in landscape and portraiture. The world that Kynaston’s paintings inhabit is equal parts romantic and haunting, her work as expressive as it is uncanny.

Kynaston embarks from her award-winning Master of Fine Arts graduating portfolio at RMIT in 2022 to a thriving studio practice dedicated to unravelling painting’s complexities.

LIV MCCARTEN

Straight from completing a BFA at RMIT with distinctions, Liv McCarten has emerged into the art scene with an almost sell out debut exhibition in February 2023, showcasing a variety of her work and the balanced duality between her bold coloured, pop art styled pieces and her highly textural realism works, all connected by reference to everyday imagery.

This collection exhibits the more textural, realist side of Liv’s work to highlight her process of working solely with a palette knife to sculpt the image onto the canvas.

CHRIS HENDERSON

Chris Henderson is a figurative artist known for his reactive and emotionallyfocused work.

Drawing inspiration from growing up in a rural environment, Henderson’s artwork often reflects themes and colours associated with his upbringing. Through confident mark making and expressive forms, he captures the essence of his subjects in painting. His work ignites a subtle fascination with our surroundings, inviting viewers to contemplate the relationship between the figure and its environment.

Dedicated to his creative process, Henderson continually explores new ways to express his storytelling and incorporates elements from his rural background.

FAIR FEATURES

ARTPARK SCULPTURE

Alongside our fabulous galleries, we’re bringing a selection of Australian sculptures to the Royal Exhibition Building.

Affordable Art Fair is proud to partner with the ARTPark to bring Australian sculptures for you to experience while at our fair.

LAURI SMITH

SOL Gallery

Lauri Smith’s large-scale surreal sculpture portrays an elderly woman in her nightie, kneeling forward as she notices her hands are translucent and she can see all of nature through them.

This piece portrays the theme as it comments on the circular nature of life, the extraordinary seen in the ordinary as she notices her hands transforming back to the original source which is nature. Life as circular, connected and made up of the same elements as earth. The extraordinary seen in the ordinary.

MURAL BY JAMES PRICE

Gallery Alchemy

James Price is an unapologetically skilled storyteller. His artistic practice employs a distinct, vibrant graphic language that condenses the complexities and contradictions of our times.

Price’s work is able to articulate intricate ideas loaded with pathos, humour and humanity. His paintings, moving image works, sculpture and ceramics visually articulate modern life for those of us unsure whether we should laugh, cry, or do both at once.

Price’s recent gallery work draws a charismatic parallel between the classic historical western form, the pictorial naivety of folk art, and the idiosyncrasies of our ever evolving contemporary culture. Created for a time when our bodies are heavier, and our attention spans lighter, Price’s newest works question, clarify, illuminate and lampoon our contemporary form.

BEN TANKARD

Sarah Birtles Art + Advice

Ben Tankard is a painter living and working in the Blue Mountains. He worked for 15 years in a bookstore, prior to becoming a full-time artist five years ago. Books and art have been life-long obsessions and Ben often combines the two.

The primary artistic inspiration for his works is twentieth-century artist Jasper Johns, who took iconic images, such as the American flag, and recreated them as abstract paintings, rich with texture. Ben takes popular book covers and boardgames and recreates them on canvas in a dramatic way, with thick overlapping layers of paint, drips, splatters and splashes.

For the Affordable Art Fair Melbourne 2023, Ben presents an innovative and interactive floor version of his monopoly-inspired paintings, aiming to elevate audience engagement to the next level.

CREATE WITH ALICE OEHR

Alice Oehr is highly regarded for her iconic and lively artworks that incorporate her love for food, pattern and collage. Her artwork is sought after both nationally and internationally alongside her work as an author-illustrator, which includes the recent Still Life Drawing (Hardie Grant, 2021) and Off to the Market (Scribble, 2022).

At Affordable Art Fair Melbourne, Alice will present a body of work as well as create a beautiful still life installation that will inform her exciting drop-in workshops for art-lovers of all ages to enjoy. You won’t want to miss her affordable artworks or engaging workshops during your visit!
