Spectra

Reimagining interiors through art and design

View the Spectra Collection

Geoffrey Carran’s latest collection brings together five luminous bird portraits set against rare mineral formations, exploring the deep resonance between Australia’s native fauna and its geological foundations. Each work pairs a distinct bird — from the vivid Superb Fairy-wren to the elusive Rose Robin — with a crystalline landscape, revealing unexpected harmonies between the living and the elemental. Rich in symbolism and detail, the series is both a celebration of natural beauty and a meditation on fragility, rarity, and wonder. Together, the paintings offer a grounded yet ethereal vision of Australia’s layered ecology — where earth and air are forever in dialogue.

'Spectra' Brings a new level of professional collaboration between Geoffrey Carran and Rowena Martinich and their commercial partners GH Commercial and Rydges Melbourne to really showcase the potential of art and design to transform the way we perceive interiors.

Open to view at Rydges Melbourne 186 Exhibition St, Melbourne VIC 3000
