Ralph Kerle Returns to Manly with a New Flagship Gallery at 36-38 Sydney Road.
Internationally acclaimed fine-art photographer Ralph Kerle is coming home - literally - by opening a sophisticated new gallery at 36-38 Sydney Road, Manly, only metres from the beaches and waterways that inspire the majority of his work. The move follows a successful tenure in the former Billabong store on The Corso; the fresh location offers a more refined, purpose-built space that aligns with Manly's evolving cultural scene and growing appetite for premium art experiences.
Local Waters, Global Reach. Kerle's signature imagery - captured while kayaking the sheltered waters of Middle Harbour, Fairlight and Manly Cove - has been exhibited from Palm Beach, Florida to the Rothko Museum in Latvia. Now, his latest series of large-scale water-reflection photographs returns to the very shoreline that birthed them.
"Living with art is living with calm," says Kerle. "The rhythms of water reflections remind us to slow down, breathe and find balance - something city dwellers and tourists alike can benefit from."
Opening Reception: Friday 22 August 2025, 6 pm - drinks & light entertainment. Gallery Hours: 10 am - 5 pm (Mon-Sat), 11 am - 4 pm (Sun).
