Petrichor
CHANTAL DE KOCK
We’re delighted to open 2026 with Petrichor, a new solo show by Chantal de Kock.
Chantal’s paintings are much loved by visitors to Tyger — the kind of works that regularly stop people in their tracks — and this beautiful new body of work will transform the gallery.
Made using earth pigments, these paintings are both of the landscape and from it, shaped by memory, feeling and place.
Join us for the opening on Saturday 17 January, 1.30–3pm, to experience the works on the walls, meet the artist, and spend time in the gallery in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.
We’re excited to welcome Jenny Blake back to Tyger for Edge of the Water, a relaxed, hands-on seascape painting workshop on Sunday 22 February.
Jenny is a much-loved landscape painter known for her brilliant use of light, movement and atmosphere. In this workshop, she’ll guide participants through her approach to painting the meeting point of land and sea, sharing practical techniques in a calm, supportive setting.
Suitable for all experience levels, Edge of the Water is a chance to slow down, experiment with colour and mark-making, and spend an afternoon painting alongside one of the region’s most respected artists.
Join us at the table from 1.30–3.30pm at Tyger Gallery. All materials are provided and places are limited.

“A local gem! We cannot recommend this gallery highly enough - local Australian artists sold by locals. This is a 'must do' if you are visiting the region. We bought a beautiful artwork and the customer service has been amazing. We will definitely be back!”
