In the exhibition Showtime, David Smouha brings front and centre, his love of all things larger-than-life. Spanning from the glamour of Las Vegas’ golden era, to iconic figures in music, fashion and even homegrown heroes: Showtime has arrived!

Starting with his personal photographs capturing diverse travels and adventures, David transforms them into captivating visual spectacles through collage techniques and digital abstraction. The resulting artworks are surreal and visually impactful, appealing to a broad audience and art lovers of all ages.

Hailing from Sydney and currently residing in the vibrant glitzy-ness of the Gold Coast, David’s exhibition reflects his Australian upbringing and outward-looking perspective.

Showtime promises an exciting exploration of contemporary photography and digital art that celebrates the extraordinary.

This exhibition will be on show at Petrie Terrace Gallery from Wednesday, 21st February to Sunday, 25th February, 2024.

The artworks created for ‘Dreamscape’ are in response to the rise of AI in our lives (No AI was used in the creation of the artworks). Luella wanted to create something purely human, that doesn’t have the taint of the mechanical. Therefore, the artworks are inspired by her dreams.
Artificial intelligence does not dream as we do, does it?
