Located in a double storey heritage building in Kew, the gallery brings the work of respected and collected colleagues together in seasonal Salon exhibitions.
With botanical art we can still find the disciplines of art and science expressing their joint concern for the accurate description of the world…there is a resurgence of realism in contemporary art practice which has inspired many prominent Australian artists to adopt more contemporary interpretations and therefore pushing the boundaries of this art form into mainstream.
Award-winning artists’ reverent and intimate exploration of form, colour, and design foregrounds our need to connect in a meaningful and constructive way with the nature. Simon Deere’s interpretations of natural forms in decay evoke a sense of fragility and the bizarre. Dianne Emery’s acute perception unites scientific detail with sensibility, creating images of extraordinary beauty.
‘These are paintings on which to hone your faculties of perception and meditation.’ Gideon Haigh. 2022.
