DISLOCATION Joint exhibition by Karin Morris & Anne McCaughey.

Both artists are immersed in landscape as subject matter, but these landscapes surprise us by throwing up contradictions of scale and place and human inhabitants.

In Morris’s paintings the human figure is placed uncomfortably in its scape. Sitting or standing figures lead us to question their belonging in the painting. Uneasy in their space, they reflect human considerations of our relationship with nature. Morris’ gestural application of paint and transmutation of colour emphasise this sense of dislocation.

In McCaughey’s dreamscapes, interiors are crammed with landscape and a succession of female figures trying to move onwards but failing. There is a sense of movement but at the same time a static element to the figures, as they appear obsessed with overlarge systems of transport. The use of realistic modelling and colour enhances the tension within this unpredictable world.

Landscape as a foil for human occupation is an overarching theme. In both series of works there is evidence of a fractured human relationship with the landscape and an uncertainty of what is real in existence.

ELEMENTAL 2.0

As a visual artist based in Perth , my art explores the intersection of abstract and semi-abstract forms through an expressive language of colour, texture and bold linear gestures.

Following on my previous exhibition titled Elemental which was held at Moores Building Art Space (MBAS) Fremantle in 2025 - this exhibition Elemental 2.0 is a new body of work that further explores my deep connection with the natural world.

 While the theme centres on landscapes and elementalforces, these paintings ultimately reflect an internal journey - an exploration of how these environments resonate within me. The works express a spectrum of emotional responses : awe and wonder, nostalgia and longing, calm and contentment, and at times, a sense of being overwhelmed by the vastness and power of nature.

My creative process is spontaneous and intuitive, evolving without fixed reference or preconceived composition. Each piece merges organically, shaped by memory, imagination, locations, i seek to convey the essence of experience - how a landscape feels, rather than how it looks.

My work does not present a singular narrative but a continuing dialogue between the external world, my inner landscape and the act of painting itself. Through expressive mark-making and dynamic use of colours, textures and shapes, I invite viewers into this conversation - to engage not just with the image but with their own emotional responses to natural environment and elements.

Common Ground brings together the work of contemporary artists Anna Da Conceicao and Juliette Paton-Williams in a celebration of nature's beauty, character, and resilience.

Through vibrant floral compositions and contemplative studies of trees, the exhibition explores the individuality found in living forms, from delicate blooms to enduring urban giants. Working in distinct yet complementary styles, both artists invite viewers to slow down, look closely, and reconnect with the natural world.

Together, these works suggest that beauty is often found not in perfection, but in the marks of growth, adaptation, and time.

A JOINT EXHIBITION BY 2 COLOURFUL LOCAL FREMANTLE ARTISTS

ROAMING

Driven by a shared love of travel, local Fremantle artists Jan Purser and Annemie van Osch bring their distinct visions together in this captivating exhibition.

​Using abstract realism as their compass, they translate recent global and local wanderings into a colourful exploration of geography, memory, and experience. This collection is a visual testament to the journey itself—celebrating the art, perspective, and deep sense of place found only when we dare to truly roam.

After a sold out 2026 season Penny Shaw, pianist extraordinaire Tommaso Pollio are back with their one-pot wonder of music, mischief and mayhem. Audience members will stir the pot, drawing mystery ingredients that decide the night’s menu of songs, special guests and other surprises! All the fun of a midnight cabaret – with the luxury of being tucked up in bed by 8pm. Performed in the heart of South Fremantle, surrounded by pubs and bars, there’s no excuse to arrive hungry… or sober. Expect laughter, spontaneity, and a generous dash of diva.

"Penny’s Pot Luck Party delivers a generous showcase of versatility, talent and theatrical flair that leaves audiences well and truly fed, and hungry for seconds." ★★★★★ Perth Happenings, 2026
