Ryoko Aoki, one of the central figures of experimental art scene in Kyoto of the late 1990s and early 2000s, has developed an almost conceptual approach to figuration that investigates how images shape, reflect and alter our perceptions.

A highlight of the Frieze Masters section of the fair, Rolph Scarlett was a key figure in the New York School of Abstract Expressionists. Scarlett avoided any reference to the outside world and believed that non-objective painting was an act of 'pure creation’.

The ghost who walks will never die (sunshine #13), 2024
Hand-blown glass

$ 4,500
Nell’s interdisciplinary practice spans painting, sculpture, performance, installation, video, wearables, collaborations, community projects, and public art. With a distinctly Australian perspective, Nell draws upon art history, popular music, and spiritual traditions to highlight the interconnected nature of our experiences. Nell introduced ghosts into her practice after a period of self-investigation and psychotherapy, choosing to recognise her own ghosts rather than banish them.
