From the quotidian of life, art emerges. In these works, drawn from our current exhibition ‘Collectors Edition: Timeless Prints’, fragments of everyday life are artistically represented — exemplifying how artists slow down and take time to appreciate the innate beauty found within even the most commonplace moments.

For Alethea Richter, much of her art practice explores the digital image - an unavoidable component of our modern lives. Using the hand-printed medium of screenprinting, the Brisbane-based artist translates an otherwise digital ‘pixel’ image into something tangible, engaging with both the physical and digital worlds.

Many artists also incorporate ‘everyday objects’ both aesthetically and literally into the works they create. In Jenny Peterson’s practice, repurposed road signs become both the artist’s subject and medium, their weathered metal surfaces intimately detailed across the paper.

In the series by Clayton Tremlett titled 'An Exploration of the Square using the Colours of a Galah’, the artist transforms the exact colours of the native Australian bird into something abstracted and intriguing - a contemporary interpretation of avian wildlife.

Whether a small pixel of data or a view outside a studio window, artists are constantly sourcing inspiration from the world around them - a testament to the idea that when we slow down and look closely, even the most mundane moments can reveal an unexpected beauty.

'Collectors Edition: Timeless Prints' continues until September 24, 2026.
