Artists
Nush Wadia

Nush Wadia is a designer/visual artist from Mumbai, India.
His work spans across design, sculpture, and photography, focusing on themes of identity and the shared relationships of people, the objects they use, and the spaces they occupy.
The works displayed here are part of multiple photo series documented over several years. From landscapes in the foothills of the Himalayas to the by-lanes of Mumbai, the photographic prints explore my evolving relationship with the environments I have found myself in. In some ways these works can be read as self-portraits, representing an internal landscape of emotions through physical context.

Patrick Hromas received his B.A. (Visual) from the ANU School of
Art & Design, 1996. He participated in a student exchange program:
ENSBA, Paris, France for 5 months, in 1995. In 2022, his
paintings were shown in The Holy Art Gallery “ETERNITY” UK.
Patrick’s artworks are in the two national collections, as well as
private collections.
Ferguson Road (Well, you kept paying me elaborate compliments the whole evening):
The starting point for the artwork was the fat black and white
image of ‘Roi’ or King from “Ubu Roi”, as played on stage in Paris
by a costumed Alfred Járry, who also wrote this, the first Da-Da
play, that premiered in 1896, the background being a short street
in Sprimgwood, with a lotus mural.
Demographic: This experimental surrealist,
postmodern, drawing and collage with an undercoat of white
gesso with shadows painted in brush and ink was completed in
1994.
Distorted Kick: This drawing was inspired by a Dr Who episode, but which
one, I’m not entirely sure. A nude woman of tall stature in fine,
knee-high boots kicks herself free of something. A grudge, a droid,
a previous relationship, we cannot be sure, yet by her smile, and
open mouth, she enjoys the action.

Chia-Yin, Lin
@cccfisch
Due to my sensitivity and extreme emotions, I went to learn areas that are the realm of body, mind, and spirit. From the study, I was inspired by the Aura soma oil bottle. When the oil bottle was shaking, the changes caused the light, shadow, and bubbles, produced by mixing oil and water of various colours showing the fleeting, dividing, and fusion.
This makes me connect the Buddhist philosophy of impermanence. The two materials with different colours and different boundaries, oil and water broke the frame when shaking to produce different colour images. The thoughts that came out of nothing during meditation when I felt uncontrollable fluctuations. I realised that the reason why I suffered, the reason is that I did not want to accept impermanence. My works are created to capture my ongoing emotions.
Hsiao-Ching, Chen
@hsiao_ching_76
Having been engaged in art education for many years, I have found most people believe that creating figurative art requires more advanced skills than abstract art. In my view, when I work in the field of artistic creation, I believe that abstract art is originally a product of another time and space. However, in order for the three-dimensional viewer to experience it concretely, it is necessary to use media that can be sensed by the three-dimensional body for creation.
To me, abstract artworks exist beyond time and space. Through the creation of abstract art, I am able to sort out emotions, feelings, subconsciousness and other things which are elusive in the third dimension. Therefore, through viewing or creating abstract art, I can touch my deep inner world as an individual. It is as if an invisible hand which is stirring up, reorganising, and reviving various substances deposited in my subconscious. In these works, I intentionally broke some of my existing colour habits and tried new ways of stacking colours and textures.
During the production process, I felt my body was in a dancing state as if almost the whole time. When I observed it from all directions of the picture, I found I was stacking textures or colours in inexplicable positions. This creative mode often brings me to the surface of things in my subconscious that cannot be expressed in words or concrete images, and it becomes an alternative way of communicating with the outside world. If you have the opportunity to view my artworks, you may stay for a while and savour the colours, textures and layers. I hope it can also trigger deep fluctuations in your heart and explore another time and space.
Visitors are invited to explore the exhibition during gallery hours, from
10am – 6pm Monday to Saturday, 12 – 6pm Sunday. Admission is free, and all are welcome to attend.
