Gavin Barlow

Gavin is an esoteric abstract artist with a topographical perspective of the country.

“In my view art is handed down from our ancestors. I am an Awabakal Durug man. I also have many ancestors from other places on this earth. The ancestry is deep and complex. My art is a reflection of deep history. To leave more than I take in this lifetime is a core value. Art may allow me to realise this, as in my opinion art has an energy that perpetuates long after the work is created.”

Garry Purchase

Garry is a proud Aboriginal man of Dharawal, Bidjigal and Dhungutti descent. He grew up in Sydney's Eastern suburbs in Botany and was raised amongst the Aboriginal community of La Perouse. Garry first started painting after he moved to the Central Coast with his wife and 3 sons in 2013. His style is a more modern take on traditional Aboriginal art, steering away from the common dreamtime stories and focusing on his own personal journey, experiences and social issues that pushes a lot of creative boundaries as he stretches the limits of what Aboriginal art can be.
