CURRENT STUDIO ARTISTS
Holly Anderson
Holly Anderson works primarily with painting as a practice for investigating anxious bodily and psychic sensations. An awareness of the body as a form messily embedded within threatened ecologies belies this interest. With continual reference to the bathers and sunlit landscapes of classical romantic landscape painting, various ways the body might be more strangely implicated in these systems are tentatively explored.In 2017 she completed a BFA with Honours at the Queensland College of Art where she now holds a sessional teaching position.

Ali Bezer
Ali Bezer is a visual artist and researcher based on the Gold Coast whose PhD [2016, Griffith University] investigated the visual and psychological effects of hearing unfamiliar sounds, including computer generated cosmic noises and Musique Concrete. Her art practice expresses these abstract recorded noises through sculpture and installation pieces in which she materialises sonic timbres, tonalities and structures into visual textures and forms. Through her work, Ali aims to elicit feelings of uneasiness and curiosity in viewers, which she experiences while listening to unfamiliar sounds, and which are normal psychological responses to unknown stimuli for humans and other animals.
Sam Cranstoun
Sam Cranstoun’s multidisciplinary practice combines various forms of research with a wide array of media to create work that investigates different systems of representation. His work regularly focuses on historical figures and events as a way of exploring how history is shaped, how it functions and how we as spectators rely on different visual systems to understand the past. These investigations address the importance of the role assumed by the artist in creating work, as well as the importance of popular culture, mass media, art, architecture and design in forming a collective understanding of our environment and surroundings.

Savannah Jarvis
Savannah Jarvis is a Brisbane-based artist whose paintings test the possibility for personal narratives to be simulated. These simulations—removed one step from reality as they are—often avoid didactic and literal imagery, and are underpinned by the belief that metaphor, allegory, and discursiveness are powerful ways to communicate situational complexity to the world beyond the self. Savannah is currently an Honours student at the Queensland College of Art.
Kate McKay
Kate McKay is a Brisbane based artist represented by Jan Manton Art. In 2013 she completed her Bachelor of Fine Art with First Class Honours at Griffith University. She has exhibited in galleries across Queensland including Jan Manton Art, Griffith University Art Gallery and Redcliffe Art Gallery. In 2015 McKay won the Macquarie Group Emerging Artist Prize and was a finalist in the 15 Artists’ Exhibition at Redcliffe Art Gallery (2017). She has had four solo shows at Jan Manton Art and in 2016 completed an artist residency at Fjuk Art Centre in Husavik, Iceland.
