Paradox is a dual exhibition with visual artists Jamie Torpeyand Max Langborne that explores the tension between chaosand order, highlighting the interplay of seeking freedom and control.

The artists have pushed the creative boundaries of portraiture and abstract expressionism, incorporating mark making and formalism into their paintings.

Both artists’ draw inspiration from the beauty of life, the inevitability of change, and the essence of paradox. Their works are vibrant and expressive and invite the viewer toexperience the harmonious dialogue between contradicting styles and the beauty when balanced as one.

The works were created during the Level Up Studio Residency at Mint Art House.

Maja is here to excavate her own experiences and express them out as jazz. She rails against the BS conditioning that says “consume, don’t care.” She's the dancing fool by the roadside who Loved All The Way.

With over a decade of work as an actor, director and theatre maker both nationally and internationally, she brings heartfelt depth to every room.

This exhibition tells a story of companionship, a bond that is formed in silence but speaks louder than words. Experience a tale of love, loss, and the delicate beauty offriendship, set against the timeless blue horizon.

KNN.Five captivates audiences with vibrant paintings that incorporate consistent use of key visual markers; characters with 4 eyes, combinations of retro-futuristic and Thai Cultural elements as part of his world-building process.

Friday November 22nd heralds the opening night of ‘In Unison’, a dynamic duo show by Australian pop artist, Aaron Craig, and Thai pop artist, Fartboil.

Aaron’s work is recognisable by the recontextualised blend of pop culture that aim to give the viewer a strong sentiment of nostalgia. Forging together elements from cartoons and comics until they become familiar at first glance, but at a second look are completely unique, he aims to create a rich new visual world that is seamless but ultimately shouldn’t exist. 

Fartboil is a Bangkok-based artist with an architectural background who evolved from designer to illustrator to tattoo enthusiast. His paintings are inspired by traditional tattoos, vintage cartoons and nature. He fearlessly experiments with colours and twists visuals into delightful distortions. 

‘In Unison’ features a collection of both artists individual works and a collaborative work.

Supported by Burleigh Brewing.

Come Friday November 15th to support the official launch of Gold Coast photographer Trent Mitchell’s book ‘AUSTRALIAN LUSTRE’.

“In this photo collection, Trent travels around the country, drawing links with the idyllic holidays of his childhood and exploring where we belong in this, at times, strange place we call home.”

Selected works include giant kangaroos, the big prawn, the big banana, the Cheshire Cat hotel and resident Mintie Richard Scott’s giant golf ball.

Please join us from 6-9pm at the opening.
