We’re proud to have recently completed the installation and preparation of The Wyndham Art Prize 2026 as the official installation partner of Wyndham Cultural Centre.
Opening this Saturday, the exhibition brings together 80 shortlisted artworks across a diverse range of practices, including painting, sculpture, photography, video, works on paper and digital media. The Wyndham Art Prize continues to champion inclusivity, providing a platform for artists working across multiple artforms.
The Wyndham Art Prize is on from Sat 31 Jan – Sun 22 Mar 2026 at the Wyndham Art Gallery, Werribee.

COMMISSION | Revealing a major new commission by Melbourne based artist, Matthew Johnson on Sydney Harbour, positioned on a threshold where light, weather and atmosphere shift in real time around it.
The work carries its title, Lucent Realm, with intent. It invites the viewer into a world where colour behaves almost architecturally, shifting as fluidly as the conditions that surround it.

Lucent Realm, 2025
Oil on canvas
240h x 200w cm
Gratitude to the clients and to the artist for embracing the bespoke creative process and investing in work that strengthens both their space and the wider cultural landscape.

Some BTS of a recently completed installation and logistics job in collaboration with STATION Gallery. This project features two Tom Polo artworks commissioned specifically for this newly renovated South Yarra appartment.
The larger of the two paintings, spanning 3 metres in length, required careful dismantling, transportation from the gallery and on-site re-stretching at the client’s residence. We placed and hung this hero piece above the main internal staircase landing to create an impactful focal point within the home.
The second smaller Polo work was installed in the apartment’s main entrance, offering a bold burst of colour as you step out from the apartment lift.
It’s always a pleasure to undertake ambitious projects with works at scale such as these.
With thanks to

Documentation images of two fabrication projects we recently completed and installed for a collectors residence.
The first features custom display shelf for this fantastic Emily Floyd sculpture. The support platform details a steel base with a satin black powder coat to match the smooth finish of the wooden bird sculpture.
The second fabrication project was an ornate, custom frame for video art. We sourced a traditional and ornate style moulding upon the clients request, finishing it with a 2 pack paint in ultra high gloss piano black.

Beyond the Ballerina
Exhibition and Installation services for Wyndham Art Gallery’s latest Exhibition ‘Beyond the Ballerina’ featuring works by Anne Ferran, Sally Smart, John McCormick & Adam Nash, Anne Scott-Wilson, Joel Bray, Leyla Stevens and Zoe Croggan. Curated by Megan Evans & Olivia Poloni. A multi faceted, ambitious project that we had the pleasure of installing and bringing to life for the Wyndham Art Gallery.
Eight artists, working across diverse media, explore the future of dance as it merges with ritual, landscape, and technology. Through collaboration with dancers—and using photography, video, virtual reality, augmented reality, and 3D video—they challenge our understanding of what dance is, where it can be experienced, and how we engage with it.
Exhibition open from Oct 9th – Dec 21st
