Precipice – Hyper Realist Art Exhibition

Currumbin Waters
Raymond Cheney’s hyper realistic paintings immediately draw you in through their extraordinary details and precision.
What makes this exhibition particularly compelling is its quiet insistence. Precipice does not shout. It doesn’t overwhelm. Instead, it lingers, planting questions that remain long after leaving the gallery. Can we afford to look away?
In his new solo show Precipice, soon to be showing at Studio 8 Currumbin, this technical mastery becomes a way of slowing us down and asking us to really look.
The exhibition poses a quietly urgent question: how do we curb our human impact on the planet before it is too late?
Through meticulous detail, Cheney presents a contemporary reflection on the delicate balance between the beauty and destruction of the natural world.
These paintings present pristine surfaces alongside subtle signs of intervention and imbalance, creating images that feel suspended at a tipping point.
The title Precipice speaks to this moment of uncertainty. Rather than telling us what to think, Cheney invites visual reflection. The works feel considered and calm on the surface, yet carry an underlying insistence, gently asking what it means to witness without action.
Presented within the intimate setting of Studio 8 Currumbin, the exhibition encourages close, unhurried engagement.
