Guy Maestri is no stranger to rejection. Before this year, the Surry Hills artist had entered eight of his paintings into the Archibald Prize, each going no further than the storeroom of the Art Gallery of NSW.
"So to those artists whose paintings didn't get hung, keep it up," he said.

GUY MAESTRI won the Archibald Prize yesterday for a portrait of
the blind Aboriginal singer Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu.
The Sydney artist's work has been rejected eight consecutive
times, ending up in the salon des refuses. But when he saw
Yunupingu perform at the Peats Ridge Music Festival last year he
knew he had found a winning subject.

LOOKING for Martine Emdur at her next exhibition opening? Check the women's toilet. The Sydney artist, described by her friends and family as "painfully shy", "very humble" and even "a bit kooky", is more than reticent when it comes to talking about her work and sipping champagne with potential buyers - she is almost phobic.

February - April 2009
Fired by a fascination with the possibilities of the surreal, art intersects with science, the real converges with the imaginary in a studio inhabited by pseudo-organic objects. Jo Bertini captures the sci-fi world of 'otherness' of Vera Moller.

“How I see the landscape at any given point is how I want to articulate it. I can’t lie; I want to convey the truth of what I see…”
Joanna Logue is based in Oberon in the central west region of New South Wales. She is well known for her atmospheric landscape paintings based on aspects of her immediate environment in Oberon. Although the paintings are inspired by the particular landscape where she lives and are therefore quite personal, Logue pares back the various elements in the composition and softens the focus so that the final works become dreamlike recollections of landscape rather than images tied to a specific place. More recently, Logue’s exploration of the landscape has extended to video, although, as she explains, she will “always be a painter.”
