UPDATE: after this review management reached out to me and my balance has been paid. Thank you. .. As an artist who had my artwork on exhibit at the Wilderness Gallery for around 5 months, I am still yet to be paid for my work that sold. It was not recorded and difficult for staff to find the sale. Although the lady in the gift shop has been most helpful and sympathetic with my desire to be paid for my work, I am still yet to be paid after about two months wait. My frustration in this whole process, from lack of email and phone call responses before and during the exhibition period to now not being reimbursed for my sale has meant I have been forced to leave a negative review. I hope this doesn't happen for other artists. read more

Having a gallery in the middle of nowhere is crazy days, but not in a bad way. I got to wander through the Wilderness Gallery while Ash Keating's Nature Response was still on display after Dark Mofo 2015, while I was staying at the Cradle Mountain Hotel (the Wilderness Gallery is on site, not sure if it's operated by the same company though?). The gallery itself is a large building that surrounds an open air courtyard of green. When I visited, Ash Keating's work dominated the space, with only one room reserved for photography work. I was positively overwhelmed by Keating's work and I'm glad it was given such space. read more

See all

The gallery comprises 10 spacious, light-filled rooms, each showcasing a photography artist and an arrangement of their large format pieces. Each of the works are limited edition and each are for sale. There's a good mix of photos on paper and on canvas. (I'm a fan of the latter format). The stand-outs, for me, were the works by Joshua Holko in his Colours of Iceland series. At least three of his pieces were award winners in international photography competitions. They are, quite simply, breathtaking. Another series called Fluid Tasmania by Andy Chisholm demonstrates his ability to capture the ocean and waves, irrespective of the conditions. Indeed, it seems the more treacherous, the better the image. One particularly spectacular shot of a board rider cannot have ended well! There's a little gift shop that you are cunningly corralled through to get to and from the gallery. They do honey tastings. Beware that many states in Aus do not allow you to bring back honey (WA being one of them). Enjoy. read more
