Sand’s Tone 

Reflecting the muted colours and textured hues of sandstone, “Sand’s Tone” celebrates the subtlety and variation found within the iconic materials.

Contours Charge 

Inspired by the contours of a charging bull, “Contours Charge” is a soft mix of masculine elegance and strength. The light grey outlines against a dark charcoal background play on minimalist simplicity while remaining strikingly impactful. Viewers are invited to engage with the strength of the artwork.


Chin Chin Di Rosso

Darren Palmer has created a playful nod to the joyful energy behind a celebratory toast with loved ones. “Chin Chin Di Rosso” uses minimal colours and imagery for a modern touch with influences of classic Italian elegance. This piece boasts vibrancy in a sophisticated way that also enables the bitter tones of the Negroni to jump off the canvas. 


Hymn

Inspired by the iconic Hyams Beach in New South Wales, “Hymn” captures the confluence of ocean, sand, and forest. The serene setting feels almost nostalgic as it captures the dreamy tones of the end to a perfect beach day. 


Native Grace 

“Native Grace” plays a bold tribute to the natural beauty and elegance of the Banksia, a native Australian flower. The soft, muted tones create a unique abstract artwork that brings a sense of organic calm into your home. 


Chromatic Gaze

Inviting you to invent your own narrative, “Chromatic Gaze” is a captivating artwork that weaves colour and abstract composition into a story. The vibrant colours bring a dynamic energy into your home that is sure to create conversation. 


Maze of Boundaries 

Minimal, rich, and graceful, “Maze of Boundaries” reimagines the confines of structured lines, encouraging your thoughts to wander about your perception of form and space. The artwork features twists and curved pathways to create a soft, inviting piece that will bring depth to any home. 


Summit’s Light

This powerful artwork goes beyond aesthetics to evoke feelings of accomplishment and strength. Created by visible brushstrokes and thick layers of paint, “Summit’s Light” features a cool-toned snowcapped mountain, basking in the glow of the warming sun. Through the use of a mixed palette, the subject jumps off the canvas to add visual depth. 


Sighing Skies 

You can almost feel “Sighing Skies” as it breathes serenity with its depiction of warm-weather storms in the Australian outback. The shadows, created by charcoal greys, draw the viewer in suspensefully, while the soft golden sunlight tones add a sense of calmness, embodying the collective sigh. 


Austral Sun

Darren Palmer’s “Austral Sun” is a minimalist abstract artwork that tells a story of the warm Australian sun on the horizon. A dominant olive green brushstroke is paired with a rounded mustard yellow shape, making this the perfect artwork for any contemporary lover. 


Innocence in Bloom

As a playful artwork, “Innocence in Bloom” captures the pure and joyful essence of youth. The vast mix of colours and tones blends spiritedly, mirroring the unadulterated beauty of nature. The piece captivates you, embracing your happiness.
