You can see the word feature prominently everywhere from the feisty dialogue of classic Gen X rom coms like ‘Reality Bites’ and ‘Clueless’, to the feedback-soaked nihilism of Nirvana and the rabblerousing rock’n’roll of Oasis. There’s a certain power to the word…”

…by the Harvey family in 1994 with an eye to establish a dynamic and inclusive contemporary art space on the North Shore of Sydney. For almost three decades we have expanded our reach to over three gallery locations and an ever expanding stable of the best artists Australia has to offer.
As 30 June approaches, now is the ideal time for Australian businesses to invest in art.
If your business has an annual turnover of less than $10 million, eligible original and editioned artworks purchased and installed in your business premises before 30 June 2026 may qualify for the Federal Government’s Instant Asset Write-Off scheme.
This means artworks valued under $20,000 (excluding GST for GST-registered businesses) may be eligible for an immediate deduction.
Beyond the potential tax advantages, we know that art can transform any workspace, creating an inspiring environment for staff and leaving a lasting impression on clients.
If your business would like to consider an artwork that is right for your space, we invite you to explore our current collection or chat with one of our expert art consultants who can help tailor our selection for your needs before the end of the financial year.
Please always seek tax advice for your eligibility from your accountant.

Join us for our special OPENING EVENT - Saturday 21st March, 2:00-4:00pm
🔗 Preview and RSVP via the link in bio. Enquiries via the gallery.
Land | Sea | Air brings together artists Yvonne Gallagher, John Martono, Belinda Nadwie, Kate Pittas and Jude Rose, whose practices explore the elemental forces that shape our natural world and our experience of place.
Each artist approaches the environment from a distinct perspective. Atmosphere, landscape and water emerge not as literal depictions but as sensations – shifts in light, movement across a surface, the density or openness of space. Through detail, abstraction and suggestion, their works evoke the changing rhythms of air, the grounding presence of land, and the restless energy of the sea.
Together, the paintings in Land | Sea | Air reflect on the elemental structures that surround us, inviting viewers to consider how these forces are felt, remembered and reimagined through the language of paint.
