EnglishWhat Is SOHO Galleries Sydney?
Updated
SOHO Galleries is a privately owned art gallery in Woollahra, Sydney, dedicated to Australian art and sculpture, and it has served Australian and international collectors for over 30 years. It sells original Australian paintings, large-scale canvas works, and one-off or limited edition sculpture, and it also offers picture framing and art advice. The gallery is open seven days a week, and you can buy online as well as visit in person.
What the gallery offers
The core inventory is original art rather than reproductions:
- Original paintings — including large and oversized canvas works intended as statement pieces.
- Sculpture — one-off and limited edition pieces, including bronze and garden sculpture.
- Picture framing — available as a service alongside the art.
- Art advice — guidance for buyers, which the gallery frames as part of a personal art journey.
The gallery also mentions accepting commissions for paintings, so a buyer who wants a specific scale or subject can enquire rather than only choosing from what is hanging.
Artists and works you can see
The site lists a stable of Australian painters and shows individual works with title, medium and dimensions. Examples from the current listings:
| Artist | Work | Details |
|---|---|---|
| James Willebrant | The Diver's End | 153 x 101 cm |
| Yosi Messiah | Three Musketeers Dance Away | 200 x 120 cm |
| Conchita Carambano | Seaweed | 183 x 122 cm |
| Peter Griffen | Red House on the Edge of Town | 150 x 100 cm |
Other named artists include Michael Whitehead, Phil Stallard, Amanda Ketterer, Marilou Palazon and Gino Campagnaro. The site lets you browse by artist or by size, which is useful if you are working to a specific wall measurement.
Yosi Messiah is featured as a new arrival. According to the gallery, he first exhibited with SOHO in 2004 and has been a finalist in the Mosman Art Prize and the Blake Prize and a semi-finalist in the Doug Moran National Portrait Prize; his work is held in private and hotel collections in Australia and overseas. His featured pieces include All Dressed Up (122 cm) and Three Musketeers Dance Away (200 x 120 cm), with geishas and ballerinas among his recurring subjects.
Who it suits
- Collectors buying original Australian art who want a curated selection rather than an open marketplace.
- Buyers furnishing a large space — the emphasis on large-scale canvas works and statement pieces fits big walls.
- Sculpture buyers, including those looking for garden pieces.
- People who want framing and advice bundled with the purchase, or who prefer to see work in person before committing.
If you are looking for cheap prints, mass-produced decor, or a purely online print-on-demand shop, this is not that kind of business.
Visiting and buying
The gallery is in Woollahra, Sydney, and open seven days. You can browse original art, sculpture and artist collections on the website and buy online; the site does not state prices in the material available, so expect to view artwork pages or contact the gallery for pricing on specific pieces. For a commission or a piece sized to your space, enquiring directly is the practical route.
