A NEW SIDE VIEW
Isabella & Daniel Wickham
On view 18 – 31 August
Official Function Saturday 23rd August 3-6pm.
Conceptual artists who have abandoned the traditional canvas, choosing instead a bespoke medium to challenge and expand the boundaries of painting. Their work offers a fresh perspective on the discipline, reimagining what a painted surface can be. Serious in craft but playfully irreverent in spirit, they don’t take art too seriously—only seriously enough to reinvent it. As a systematic subversive, they disrupt expectations with intention and clarity. Rather than serving a new dish, they introduce an entirely new cuisine to the art world.
Seal
My ‘Seal’ Painting was Inspired by a photograph I was drawn to from a calendar. I used the clear canvas to represent the crystal clear ocean waters and I used a solid base to create the look of a white sandy ocean floor for the happy seal to rest on.
Ocean
My Painting, ‘Ocean’ is one of my favourite pieces and my most detailed work yet. A girl laying off her board in the shallow blue.I wanted to paint different shades of blue for the background to represent the colours of a healthy reef, along with the sunshine shining directly on the girls right side. I wanted to replicate the feeling of comfort over the stunning clear waters of the great barrier’s reefs.
Fish outta water
My Painting ‘Fish outta water’ shows a young girl sitting on her longboard stuck in the breaks drifting deep, I wanted to represent the colours ascending from the shallows to the depths. I aimed to resemble the adrenaline of being stuck in a strong set of crashing waves from a Birds Eye view.
Their Brains
My ‘Their Brains’ Painting was my second Clear Canvas painting ever done, painted outside under the trees of my backyard, i experimented with a variety of funky colours, i wanted the wind blowing the painted circles in all different directions to create its own pattern.

He has since been part of many group and solo exhibitions in Australia, including many for the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras festival and a special exhibition as part of the Sydney 2002 Gay Games cultural festival.

DANIELLE JOY GOLDING Figurative Portraits & Botanical Flowers. Opening Tuesday 22 July 6pm.
Danielle Joy Golding – Portraits and Flowers
All welcome to attend
DANIELLE JOY GOLDING
Figurative Portraits & Botanical Flowers.
Opening Tuesday 22 July 6pm.
Artist’s statement from Danielle Joy Golding 16/3/2025
This body of work, collection of work, is basically 35 pieces, in diameter, and come from drawn-out sessions during later Covid, during just last year. Covid isn’t ended, but my works were created anyway, and I have varied the medias used, for example, you will see silk paintings here, and digital art, and the usual oil paintings on board, with Botanical Flowers, every-day portraits, looking closely at color, linework, ambience and my semi-delicate works here on Habotai silk, paper and canvas board, with inks and oil and the Procreate program on my Pad and Apple Pencil.
The digital art is shown here with a number of staff and client portraiture, from Wayside Bondi, and Procreate was used for these, but not artifical intelligence. My handwork is on the portraiture drawings, and the artistic decision-making, also, the oil paintings, about 12 figurative paintings, basically figurative women, hopefully, not over-commercialized women, an old theme of mine was once commercialisations of Women, magazine women, cosmetic and aesthetic images, of women. Some time ago, I had an exhibition of such works.
Most of the works here are for sale, unless otherwise stated, the price listing and room sheets are available, and names, prices and works included, all works are furtherly negotiable and modestly priced, the works listed are all from my recent collection of works, called “New Works” and all created during 2024 and 2025.
Brief Artist’s Bio:
I have 12 years of art study behind me at NAS Art School, at St George Tafe and Sydney University, and this is my fourth exhibition at the TAP Art Gallery. I have had three here before: “Down and out and other Disprivileged“, ”On the Curve of Her Psyche”, and “QLD and Other images,” in the past five years. I have had experience in other Galleries, but the TAP Art Gallery Is famiiar to me now, as well.
I live in Bondi, where I have lived for thirty five years, as a local, and work studiously in my converted Studio, I could do more work but I spend a lot of my time musing, so that is what happens, with me, on my own, and I try to pull myself into Reality and work (because when will it be recognized as real work?
I would ike to thank Rosie and Lesley and Jacqui for all and any assistence with this exhibition. And I would like to tell everyone, that art is achievable for evrone, if not to do, then to watch as an audience. It’s there for everyone. .
