Phil Austin - Monokrom Mardi Geras - TAP Gallery

MONOKROM Mardi Gras – Phil Austin Opens Tuesday 17th 6pm.

PHIL AUSTIN

Phil Austin is a street photographer focused on capturing honest moments of self-expression. At Sydney Mardi Gras, he uses black and white photography to document the power of people being unapologetically themselves. Stripping away color puts focus on emotion, gesture, and human connection — revealing stories that might otherwise be lost in the noise. Phil’s work aims to show that authenticity isn’t just a personal choice, but a public statement with the power to inspire change.t with the power to inspire change.Monokrom Mardi Gras – Phil Austin

PEOPLE OF A TIME AND PLACE – Razorhurst Series – an exhibition by Sean Burgess 2-15 June. Opening function WED 4th June 6pm

People of a Time and Place – Razorhurst II

People of a Time and Place - Razorhurst - Sean Burgess - Tap Gallery
People of a Time & Place Volume II: Razorhurst Series
TAP Gallery | 2–15 June 2025

Sydney wasn’t built on sunshine. It was shaped in the backstreets — by villains, fighters, and survivors who clawed for scraps of power, pride, and survival.

In People of a Time & Place: Volume II, Sydney painter Sean Burgess drags Razorhurst’s ghosts back into the light. Not the polished legends — the raw ones. The bloody, broken, defiant ones. The faces that built the city’s backbone long before the harbour sparkled for postcards.

This is the Sydney they don’t put in the brochures: sharp-edged, restless, alive. Each canvas pulls from a time when life was brutal and every choice left a scar. Burgess doesn’t whisper their stories — he spits them back into the world with grit under his nails.

Artesque: villains, fighters, survivors — no apologies, no pretty endings. Just the truth of a city born fighting.

Wed 4th June 6pm: Show open!
Sat 7th June 6pm: “The Shivoo!

– Live music, free drinks and a guided tour with the artist.
Sat 14th June 6pm: Meet the Artist – Farewell Razorhurst.

Sean Burgess – Sydney painter * A Team Potato production.
