LES SHARP:

I am a retired physicist who has photographed all my life, interweaving with my scientific career of 40 years. Combine this with the excitement of travel and the world becomes an amazing place, providing opportunity across the photographic genre. Over the last few years i have moved away from trying to realistically capture the moment & moved towards abstraction and storytelling to increase the emotional content.

 

 

 

Artists contributed to our group show. Launched – Thursday 4th April 6pm

When TAP Gallery has a lay period we often call a group show. This give artists who do not have enough work to have a solo, or do not enough money to afford their own exhibition, the opportunity by exhibiting one or more works. This gives the artists exposure to the public, an opportunity to develop their CV & also mix with like minded creatives. Meet artists & art appreciators as well as new friends on Thursday 4th April 6pm for wine, nibbles plus more surprises!!!

ENTRY FEE: $25 per work

Exhibition runs from April 1-14 daily 12-6pm

EXPLORING THE ART OF THE MALE FORM – RICHARD MATIAS photographer 18 Feb – 3 March daily. Meet the artist Wednesday 20th Feb 6pm

Richard Matias is a Perth based photographer whose artistic interest is the male form.  Richard’s work is all about undermining the taboos surrounding masculinity, sexual identity and nudity.

 

“I want to capture the natural beauty of my models. Many of them do not realise how truly beautiful they are. Neither do they realise how transient that beauty is. The challenge is to capture that one look, that brief insight, before it is lost forever.”

 

Richard will also be signing copies of his book “Liberated” which has already raised more than $30,000 for the WA AIDS Council’s Freedom Centre for LGBTQI youth.
