Tiarna Herczeg
Dajali, 2022
Acrylic on Birch
65 x 70cm
Tiarna Herczeg is a proud Kuku Yalanji and Hungarian artist living on Gadigal lands. Their practice is intuitive and instinctive, and they often paint without a direct idea, instead using their practice as a ritual for connecting to Country.
Herczeg’s approach comes from a sense of urgency regarding their spiritual and cultural identity. Herczeg disconnects from the idea of painting an artwork and instead taps into a deeper spirituality. Fearless, loose and gestural brush strokes emerge amongst vibrant colours to create organic compositions that highlight the familiar, rich and natural Country. Their practice is a spiritual exchange of energy between artist and artwork, guided by cultural intuition. What remains is a sacred depiction of Country that cannot be told by anyone else.

Oil on panel

Darren currently lives and works in Melbourne, Australia. He is an emerging artist, working primarily in oils. With a background in graphic design, his goal is to create a simple statement for each composition through the use of colour, shape and texture. Darren enjoys finding daily life subjects and scenes that may often be overlooked but once caught in the paint, can provide a pleasing snapshot or memory of a time and place.

Sam Steinhauer is a Northern Rivers based artist working on the unceded lands of the Arakwal people of the Bundjalung Nation. His work explores the interplay of art and the everyday. Sam constructs nonsensical scenes using his own personal photographs as well as imagery from pop-culture. This re-purposing of personal experiences into a flattened picture plane creates an introspective space for Sam where he explores his ‘disenchantment with the Western world’, while finding ‘humour in the banality of it all’. He holds a 1st class honours degree in Art History.
