Acrylic on canvas
Jonathan Redmayne is a Sydney-based artist, whose paintings have been exhibited nationally, as well as in England Italy, Argentina, and the United States.
He describes his works as challenging the current global climate and are carefully arranged by showcasing organic shapes that orchestrate a narrative of conflict and harmony, fragments of contrasting colours created through blending brushstrokes, abstract signatures and sculptural-like curves.
Redmayne’s bold compositions embody a visual aesthetic that ‘emotionally confronts the viewer.’

Mixed media on canvas
Growing up next to the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, the heart of Russian art, Tania’s childhood was filled with inspiration continuing into early adulthood, whilst living and studying in London.
Now on the Gold Coast enjoying the vibrancy of Australia’s landscapes and culture, Tania’s latest works incorporate mixed media into her oil and acrylic work further imbuing her love of texture and layering with the rich hues of colour that remain at the core of her art.
Working as an interior designer had a huge impact on her perception of the role of art. ‘Paintings resonate with people, whether it be an emotional connection or to fit a particular space and colour scheme. Artworks transform spaces more than anything else, tying colours you love together to create a space of cosiness and warmth.
‘I’ve always loved colours. I see beautiful colour combinations everywhere: in the garden, the sky, even on people’s clothing and try to express this beauty in my paintings. My flower garden is also a great inspiration where colours mix in together creating a wonderful harmony. For me, painting is definitely a form of meditation’
