Pete Groves settled in Mexico for several years. It was there, surrounded by a rich culture, vibrant history, and a close-knit community, that he began his painting journey. During this time, he developed a deep appreciation for the storytelling and symbolism in the work of Mexican artists such as Kahlo, Rivera, and Tamayo. Tamayo’s influence, along with that of Swiss-born German artist Paul Klee, played a significant role in shaping his artistic direction.
“I’m drawn to the playfulness in Paul Klee’s work—the way it can feel so simple, yet hold such complexity.” Out on a Limb $5,7,00 Acrylic on canvas framed in flooded gum, 150 x 135cm #petegroves #art2muse #australianlandscapepainting

Chris Watts + Mitch Brown So stoked to have had the opportunity to sit down with @mitchbrownie and create this portrait for the 2026
Archibald Prize at @artgalleryofnsw I was drawn to paint Mitch because of the impact his voice has had across Australia. In the AFL’s 129-year history, he became the first male player to publicly come out as bisexual. Against the backdrop of a sport where homophobia is still rife, where players are still targeted for being who they are, and where homophobic slurs are still heard in the stands and on the field, Mitch’s vulnerability in sharing his story was a pivotal step for queer visibility in both the AFL and Australian men’s sport more broadly. Mitch’s continued advocacy has challenged a culture where, for a lot of players, being fully yourself hasn’t always felt possible. In particular, for young kids growing up around sport who might not feel like they fit the mould, Mitch continues to pave the way towards a more accepting and empathetic future where no one feels like they have to hide who they are. This portrait is about honouring Mitch in this moment. It is also about honouring him beyond his identity as an AFL player; as a father, a partner, as an advocate. #chriswatts #mitchbrown

“It’s an exciting process beginning with diving into the unknown, not knowing where and how I’ll go. I begin with layering spontaneous markings and scratches on surfaces scraped and scratched. With time and contemplation, thoughts, feelings and ideas evolve into artworks.” Sue Meyer #suemeyer #art2muse #woollahragallery #artiststudio

Olivier Rasir’s practice emerges from the margins of consumption, where discarded materials carry the quiet weight of prior use. Working with found elements such as hessian, rubber, and vinyl, Rasir approaches these remnants not as waste, but as vessels of memory, labour, and transformation. Each material bears physical and cultural traces—frayed fibbers, industrial textures, synthetic resilience—that inform both the process and the final composition. Upcoming Exhibition at Art2Muse Gallery 19 May – 1 June 2026 #olivierrasir #art2muse #contemporaryart #sydneyinteriors
