"Based on the Northern Midlands of Tasmania these
paintings are not simply depictions but more poems
without words.

Where the land is the body and the sky is the mind."
— Luke Wagner

Luke Wagner's poetic and sublime exhibition, 'Time Slows at Night' is an absolute must-see exhibition; the details, technical skill and absolute poetry of the subject matter is truly something to behold.

"When we fall asleep where do we go.

A dozing soul where dreams are the starting point of imagination." — Luke Wagner

As part of our current exhibition, IMPRESSIONS LAND, SEA and SKY, Melissa Smith has produced two original prints, 'Narrative lines of the Lake I' and 'Narrative lines of the Lake II'.

A collaboration with APW Printers, each work includes lithograph and intaglio. Melissa used both drawing, etching and airbrushing to create marks on the plates, building up tone, texture and line.

IMPRESSIONS LAND, SEA and SKY continues until 12 October.

Bruce has aptly named his solo exhibition, 'The Line', because the connection between sea and sky is key.

"Living by the ocean, I often look out at the horizon. This line serves as a threshold or anchor, inviting the viewer to observe the binding of symbols and patterning."

06.09.24 - 23.09.24

Nearly three years after his passing, Tom Samek's legacy and quirky humor continue to thrive and delight!

Original artworks by the beloved Tasmanian artist—some never seen before—are available online and in the gallery!

While many of Tom's works, like 'Opening of the Concert Season', are well-known and collected as giclee prints, two originals, 'Chef’s Pants and Knife' and 'Food and Wine Pyramid', are being revealed for the first time.

“Tom’s brilliance was incomparable," says Handmark Director Allanah Dopson - "He exuded life and Art".

Visit Handmark Gallery to view these remarkable works and experience his art and humor once again!

The works can be viewed in our online stockroom at https://handmark.com.au/stockroom/tom-samek/ and in person in the gallery.

These works are available for postage!
Please enquire for postage options by contacting the gallery at [email protected] or by calling (03) 6223 7895 if you require postage.

"Living at Bicheno, Bruce’s last exhibition examined the interplay of light and water. But this time around, ocean reflections 'seek to illuminate layers of reality lying just beneath the surface of everyday experience.'"

Bruce's stunning exhibition feels entirely immersive as you move between layers of water, geometric abstractions and tonal shifts; it's the final week to experience this wonderful atmosphere in person at Handmark Gallery.

Exhibition can also be viewed online.

"The idea is that everything begins with consciousness. In other words, our thoughts shape our reality". — Mona Choo

We are thrilled to showcase Mona Choo's stunning large artwork, beautifully integrated into the home of its new owner. This piece is a testament to Mona’s unique ability to translate her personal experiences into evocative visual art.

Additionally, a wonderful feature on Mona in Art/Edit Magazine, where her profound exploration of consciousness and its many dimensions is highlighted in a captivating two-page spread. Mona's art not only reflects her journey but also invites us to connect through shared experiences and deeper understanding.
