Kicking off their 2023 gallery program, THIS IS NO FANTASY presents a new body of work by Oliver Watts.

At Redleaf explores scenes from an inner-city pool in the Sydney Harbour in Watts’ signature style and palette.

From dusk, as the last lap swimmers leave, tinder dates and hipster picnics move in. Redleaf is a place that people roll down to from Kings Cross for an after-party, a place to share a secret kiss on the boardwalk in the dark, or a place for midnight swims.
