Two terrific painting exhibitions are coming up at Sydney's Tim Olsen Gallery, there's Rhys Lee, named in Australian Art Collector's 50 Most Collectable Artists. His are lavish and exhilarating works, with a hint of underlying menace.

Paul Davies' intense, idiosyncratic and popular paintings in homage to modern architecture, not to mention pools, can be seen at the Paddington Street Gallery.
