Art Pharmacy is the perfect place to purchase a gift, start your art collection or buy an artwork for a creative space, office or shop.

All the artists on Art Pharmacy have been specially selected. We aren’t just about selling works, but are here to promote Australian art and design. When you buy a piece on Art Pharmacy you know that you are supporting local artists in Australia. We believe there are so many undiscovered artists out there and we want to do our bit to help you find them.

Writer Montana O’Neill talks to Bren about his practice, career and what inspires him in his creative ventures in our latest @ArtPharmacy blog.

Zuzu Galova is a Sydney-Based Slovak designer, illustrator, photographer and craft-maker with a passion for the natural world. For her latest series, available on @ArtPharmacy, she’s used the printmaking technique, the linocut. She says, “Each of the prints is unique and they have a specific character. The whole process of this printing is #ecofriendly. The stencil for printing is made of banana peels, the paints are made of soybeans and all it’s printed on recycled paper. I try to be more conscious about the environment and this technique is the right way to do it.” Zuzu’s works are available on #ArtPharmacy from $45.00. #artforsale #australianart

Bonnie Greene is drawn to the beauty of day-to-day life. Her works begin in her sketchbook before organically coming to life in paint. She says, “I try not to wait for inspiration to strike, but just begin something.” The energetic strokes, vibrant colour palettes and bold contrasts of her works mimic her state of mind and her daily experiences, which is especially true in her work CLOUDSCAPE 1. It’s an Intense coloured sunset on a trip to Sydney from home on the South Coast one Saturday in September. Bonnie’s work is available on @ArtPharmacy from $220.00 + #artforsale #australianart
Gabby Malpas is an emerging Sydney #artist who weaves a unique sense of history into her works. She stitches together high-quality art paper before she begins painting, “it adds texture”, she says. Then, she might layer over antique eighteenth-century Fresh documents or antique stamps. Gabby was adopted and grew up in Auckland, New Zealand. But after discovering her Chinese heritage, she now honours this through her works with Malaysian patterns and she’s even included a receipt from a Chinese bakery. Gabby says, “my current works are images of things I have bought, eaten and picked in Sydney.” Gabby’s works on @ArtPharmacy start from $135.00+ #buyart #sydneyartist

MARIE DALLISTON: “My body of work is like me: changing, diverse, multi-faceted, multi-tasking, always all ways. Flowing towards my desires and loves of the day, week, month, year ... the moment. I am here to say this defiantly, boldly and vulnerably.” #ArtPharmacy #artist #inspirationalquotes
"My inspiration for becoming a painter began when I LET GO of the notion that I NEEDED AN ART DEGREE to produce art. It is only now, in my adult life, that I CONSIDER MYSELF AN ARTIST, something that I had a very DIFFICULT TIME calling myself in my younger days." Keep talking truth Michelle Atzemis 🙌 🙌 Why is it sometimes so hard for artists to call themselves an artist (even when they create this beautiful a piece of art)? What is holding them back? Many reasons - but it can come down to a bit of an internal identity struggle. If you're an artist - and you feel awkward about calling yourself 'an artist' - declare yourself today! We promise you'll own it #artist #artpharmacy #MichelleAtzemis
How does Helen Cameron create her #art? 1. Vast tracts of wooden board or paper are blocked out in background colour, building the composition 2. playing with concepts of contrast and association, she applies thinner veils of #colour with brush and sponge 3. increasingly finer detail is drawn on in conté or pastels, or incised using metal tools 4. gloss is effected using polymer varnish and heightened texture through the application of tissue paper 5. raws and incises “in the moment,” some raw mark-making ... VOILA! Love your work Helen. Available on #ArtPharmacy from $175+ #artforsale #australianart #arttherapy
