Tanmaya Bingham's new body of work titled 'Countermanding Saturation' comprises six large-scale paintings and thirteen smaller works. The comical and the macabre interchange in these drawings, strive against what Bingham calls saturation, the 'emotional, physical or intellectual stimulation' of either the interior or exterior worlds.

The new paintings by Waratah Lahy continue to explore her ongoing fascination with the simplicity of the overlooked: people, places, light and colour. She finds inspiration in everyday scenes that are often lost in the deluge of contemporary visual culture.
