A walk through half a century of Hobartian Monte John Latham‘s abstract expressionism and ‘worldscape’ paintings.

Monte John Latham’s Walk in the Worldscape exhibition features a selection of striking and vibrant works of oil and acrylic on canvas that explore the interplays between humanity, nature, the metaphysical, mind, journey, and locale. Dreamlike landscapes flow out of and into intricate abstractions expressing serene harmony, dynamism and love through ethereal and evocative colours. 

Largely unknown, Latham is an elusive local underground artist whose prolific journey spans decades of steady and passionate creation, each piece serving as a testament to his unwavering passion for capturing the essence of life and the world around us. Born in the middle of the twentieth century, Latham began painting as a boy. His work blossomed with surrealism, defiance and inquiry during the counterculture currents of the sixties and seventies. 

This exhibition showcases Latham’s most striking works, thoughtfully selected to illustrate the breadth of his artistic journey. It is a rare opportunity to experience the creative evolution of an artist whose vision remains timeless and deeply resonant.

Originals and numbered replica prints will be available for purchase.

After The Rain by Sam Wilkinson, presents an intimate response to a seven day expedition through the remote regions of Tasmania’s South West. 

After The Rain is a body of work inspired by a seven day expedition through the remote regions of Tasmania’s South West. Shaped by a first day of heavy rainfall, the work explores the raw beauty of this majestic, yet unforgiving landscape and the untamed weather conditions that followed. 

These paintings are not exact representations, but rather seek to capture the emotional essence of what the artist experienced – shifting skies, blankets of mist and the stillness of rain soaked air. They delve into the powerful impact this precious and ancient landscape can hold both physically and emotionally, how it enters the body, stirs the mind, and lingers long after the journey has ended.

Friday 24 January 2025, 5:00pm – 7:00pm

A duo exhibition by Greg Ferry and Vanessa Stockard inspired by worship, icons from the Abbey of the good boy, and Gold frames.

Icons have a long history dating as far back as the 3rd century in Christianity, displaying portrait images or narrative scenes depicting scenes of worship or religious events. Often painted in small scale, on wood, egg tempera and gold. Often depicting the lives of saints or pilgrimage. 

Greg Ferry and Vanessa Stockard visit this method of pictorial construction with their own interpretations of iconography. Greg Ferry’s homage to the enormous Huntaway dog Harvey and his Abbey of the good boy and Vanessa Stockard’s Kevin the Kitten enter the ancient and mysterious world of worship.

New works by emerging artist Klaaske Greenwood.

This collection reimagines the cowgirl archetype as more than a person—it is a way of being or state of mind. These loosely painted pieces depict the duality of strength and vulnerability, rebellion and grace. Featuring local, popular culture and historical characters the exhibition plays with this sense of identity in its various forms.
