Yes, Hollywood glamour, bizarre backdrops and beautiful scenery combine in a show befitting its rather excellent name. If it sounds like it's full of contrasts, that's because it is. The images themselves, the styles and techniques the artists favour, and even the materials and types of paint they each use, couldn't be more different.
And yet, the Brisbane-based artists have stumbled upon a combination as daring and dramatic as the '40s and '50s movie thrillers Jane takes inspiration from, and as rich and textured as Sergio's nature scenes as well. It's simultaneously bold, bright, surreal and scenic. Think of it as a walk through film history and a walk in the park all in one.
