'FUTURE RELICS' by David Porte Beckefeld Hosted by RAINBOW STUDIOS

'Future Relics' made possible by Google

A solo exhibition presenting a new body of sculptural and printed work by Sydney based artist David Porte Beckefeld, developed through a creative process that moves from human to machine and back to human.

Beginning with his own drawings and VR sculptures, Porte Beckefeld trains and curates outputs from Google Labs’ AI tools, allowing the machine to reinterpret form and texture while remaining grounded in the DNA of his practice. Selected results are then translated into 3D models, physically 3D printed and meticulously hand finished, bringing digital outputs into tangible form.

Presented alongside their AI generated counterparts as prints, the works invite viewers to experience both familiarity and difference across mediums, presenting a body of work that merges hand drawn, 3D, VR modelling and AI generation with artistic vision into a dialogue between human and machine that exists both digitally and in the real space they’re exhibited.

Future Relics positions AI and supporting digital tools as a creative collaborator rather than a replacement, exploring how emerging tools can extend sculptural practice while preserving human intention, authorship and material presence.

RAINBOW STUDIOS is proud to present ‘I Heart’, the third solo exhibition by Australian artist duo Gelbell.

Tender, irreverent and unmistakably human, I Heart is a love letter to the everyday. At the centre of the exhibition sits the familiar “I heart” t-shirt, a graphic red heart paired with the quiet confidence of a classic white tee. A playful cultural punchline becomes a powerful symbol, holding sincerity inside humour, and joy inside irony.

Often mistaken for a single artist, Gelbell worked side by side on the same canvas, painting in real time and responding instinctively to one another. Gestures overlap, corrections remain visible and authorship dissolves, leaving behind a shared presence in every mark.

Gelbell is the collaborative practice of longtime friends Angelica Wootton and Isabella Greene. Known for their bold, expressive paintings, chaotic energy and layered surfaces, the duo draw on their backgrounds in interiors and furniture design to create large scale works with an intuitive sense of structure, rhythm and space.

I Heart invites audiences to slow down, notice the ordinary, and recognise themselves in the beautifully imperfect moments of everyday life.

We are so excited to welcome the girls back into the showroom. This exhibition will be at high demand.
