IN THE GALLERY: Last But Not Least

Ali Tahayori, Johnathon World Peace Bush, Neil Haddon, Olivia Chin

5 - 20 Dec 2025

Last But Not Least brings together a selection of THIS IS NO FANTASY’s artists whose practices approach perception, cultural memory and transformation from distinctly charged vantage points.

Presented at the close of the year, the exhibition reframes the idea of ‘last’ not as an ending, but as a distillation – a moment where ideas sharpen, surfaces deepen, and meanings gather intensity.

Neil Haddon’s vibrant, shape-shifting paintings disrupt familiar visual languages, pulling abstraction and representation into tense, animated dialogue.

Ali Tahayori continues his exploration of queer identity and diasporic memory, using light, images and memory to create spaces of reflection and intimacy.

Johnathon World Peace Bush’s bold, emblematic works assert painting as a site of history, sovereignty and often humour.

Olivia Chin’s paintings explore landscapes with gesture, movement, and quiet symbolism, charting emotional terrains that hover between the seen and the felt.

Across these diverse practices, Last But Not Least asks what accumulates at the edge of conclusion – what remains, what resists closure, and what continues to unfold.
