Which Australian Artists and Artworks Are Featured at SOHO Galleries?

SOHO Galleries in Woollahra, Sydney, features original work by a named group of Australian painters and sculptors, including James Willebrant, Yosi Messiah, Conchita Carambano, Peter Griffen, Michael Whitehead, Phil Stallard, Amanda Ketterer, Marilou Palazon and Gino Campagnaro. The stock leans toward original paintings and large-scale canvas works, alongside one-off and limited edition sculpture. You can browse by artist or by size, and the gallery highlights new arrivals and individual artist collections.

Artists Named on the Gallery Site

The gallery's own listings pair each artist with a specific work, which gives a concrete sense of scale and style before you visit or enquire.

Yosi Messiah is also presented as a featured collection. The gallery notes he first exhibited with SOHO in 2004, 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 described as narrative-driven, with geishas and ballerinas among the subjects, and is held in private and hotel collections. That background is useful if you are weighing a larger purchase from his new collection.

Types of Work You Can Expect

• Original Australian paintings, including oversized statement canvases — several listed works are around 150–200 cm wide.
• Sculpture, described as one-off and limited edition, including bronze and garden sculpture.
• Framing and art advice as gallery services, useful if you buy a canvas and need it finished for a specific wall.

If your goal is a single large piece for a room, the by-size browsing route is the faster way to filter. If you are following a particular painter, start from the artist pages and the new arrivals section.

How to Use the Site Before Visiting

1. Open the original art section and choose either by artist or by size, depending on whether you already have a name or a wall measurement in mind.
2. Check the listed dimensions against your space — the site gives centimetres for each featured work, so measure the wall first.
3. For a specific artist, open their collection page (for example, the Yosi Messiah collection) to see the current range rather than a single piece.
4. If nothing on the site fits, the gallery mentions commissioning a painting as an option; that is a conversation to have directly with the gallery rather than a checkout flow.

The gallery states it has served Australian and international collectors for over 30 years and is open seven days, with online buying also offered. Prices are not listed in the material reviewed here, so treat any figure as something to confirm with the gallery.
