Spectra: Reimagining interiors through art and design. Rowena Martinich & Geoffrey Carran at Rydges Melbourne. 15 - 25 May 2025.
Taking up artistic residency at Rydges Melbourne, Martinich and Carran will re-imagine the hotel’s lobby with their exhibition Spectra, part of Melbourne Design Week. Creating works that seamlessly integrate original paintings, murals, painting-inspired wallpaper, prints, and custom-designed floor coverings created in partnership with GH Commercial. This collection pushes the boundaries of their practice, responding directly to the hotel’s architecture, atmosphere and palette while demonstrating how expressive artworks can redefine everyday environments. By placing their work within a bustling temporal setting, Spectra creates a dynamic fusion between art and design, offering a new perspective on how creative interventions shape the spaces we inhabit.

"Aside from falling in love with her work, Rowena’s experience with large scaled pieces and their integration into architecture gave us confidence in the ability for our vision to be realised."
Kel Twite – Barton St
"I personally love Rowena’s vision and her ability to work with different mediums (ie. glass, metal, canvas). Rowena is an absolute professional and working with her realise an idea coming to life."
Mim Fanning - Mim Design
"It was an easy choice selecting Rowena to work with. Her back catalogue of works, her ability think in colour, her professionalism and positive attitude made it a no brainer. The work we wanted was massive and physically demanding. Not once did we doubt Rowena’s ability to achieve the project on time and in Budget."
