JD REFORMA and ANNE-LOUISE DADAK

J D REFORMA

Every Day Is My Birthday: 365 Packagings

Shrink wrapping everyday/junk objects to investigate the fetish nature of our relationship to consumer detritus.

JD has just completed his studies at the College of Fine Arts, in sculpture.

ANNE-LOUISE DADAK – Fine Arts

Anne-Louise's drawings evolve as an an emotive recollection of time, place and people - recording and processing thoughts and memories. Deeply personal her work is gestural, raw and sometimes somewhat unresolved.

Anne-Louise has completed her Bachelors in Design.

JACOB BURGE and SAM BRYANT

Jacob Burge’s recent body of work “As snowstorms of ash fall on Sunken Cities …” combines the techniques and materials of street art with an expressive approach to depict post-apocalyptic visions of a submerged metropolis.

Using the built environment as a metaphor for the current climate of fear and anxiety, (whether that be the war on terror, global climate change, or the worsening economic crisis) the paintings themselves have a shimmering and ethereal effect that belies their grave subject matter.

Jacob is current undertaking his Master of Art at the College of Fine Art Sydney.

Sam Bryant – Commercial Film Director

While Baz Luhrmann's latest film Australia was highly anticipated, this work certainly was not. Sam Bryant has cheekily renovated a life-sized equine, a left over prop from the epic production. The police have already been called by suspicious neighbours in the construction of this piece, concerned for the wellbeing of the animal imposter.

Sam Bryant is a commercial film director, who has just finished production for Josh Pyke's latest video clip 'Make you Happy'.

TINA SALAMA and KORSHI DOSOO

Tina Salama


An assembly line of toy guns is not an invitation to play nor a comment on violence. By placing objects amongst masses of themselves, Tina's work uses repetition to break down the logic of subject and object. The effect is a mental jarring and with it, a challenge to discriminate.

TINA SALAMA is an architect and philosopher who spends her life fascinated by light, logic and toys.



Korshi Dosoo


Korshi's paintings are delicately constructed with vibrant colours and spectacular penmanship where animals lie comfortably with their prehistoric ancestors. Cute meets field drawing as Korshi takes us into his world of imaginary animal relationships.

Korshi Dosoo has just completed his Bachelor of Fine Arts at the College of Fine Arts, Sydney. He wore a kilt, collared shirt and tie to his grad show. www.lairofthetwistedkitten.co.uk

REALPERSPECTIVE Opening 10th December at TAP Gallery

An ominous hum, furniture rescued from the side of the road and wrapped in cling wrap. A collection of delicately drawn red and purple dinosaurs, tiny presents hidden in matchboxes and abandoned throughout the city for strangers to find. And a life like collapsed equine that has escaped from Baz Luhrman's latest film epic that has been cheekily altered.

On December 8, TAP Gallery, Palmer st, Darlinghurst will play host to an eclectic, innovative and sometimes startling art show, Realperspective.

Curated by Tony Curran, Realperspective showcases the works of 12 emerging industry professionals encompassing architects, visual artists, designers, film directors, writers, new media artists and musicians.

The creative works featured in Realperspective are innovative in their ideologies and approaches and collectively seek to challenge the audience by offering a multiplicity of ways to see and interact with the world.

Realperspective runs from 10-21 December
TAP Gallery, 278 Palmer st, Darlinghurst Sydney
