You can catch the work of Nicholas Gascoine up close and personal on Wednesday evening.

There’s a certain indefinable character to Australian beaches that separates them from the rest of the world. Whilst the makeup of our coastal swimming spots is pretty much the same as anywhere else; one part sand, one part water, one part salt, the Aussie beach ‘feeling’ is uniquely ours. And it’s that feeling that Sydney based photographer Nicholas Gascoine has captured in his latest exhibition Salt.

Taking a voyeuristic perspective at the beaches of Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, the exhibition “touches on the concept of the ocean as a sublime force, that dwarfs the humans dotted amongst the waves and the beaches awash with different cultures.” The collection that portrays the modern ocean landscape through a grainy lens, looking to define (or redefine) our understanding of our relationship with the seaside.

The exhibition will be open 6pm to 8pm this Wednesday at Comber St Studios in Paddington (info below).
