Two marble sculptures by Stephen Ralph were installed last week at the recently opened Olympus Dining in Redfern. A contemporary take on the Greek taverna, Olympus is owned by Jonathan Barthelmess and Sam Christie (Apollo, Potts Point) and run by Head chef Ozge Kalvo (formerly Ester and Baba’s Place). “When Olympus is good, it’s very good.” Callan Boys, Sydney Morning Herald. Olympus Dining, Wunderlich Lane, 2 Baptist St, Redfern. Table bookings here.

A portrait of Stephen Ralph by Mitch Cairns is a finalist in the 2025 Archibald Prize at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. ‘Stephen is a close friend – a master on the fiddle and a meticulous artist. He carries his exemplary craftsmanship across disciplines with care, precision and gentility,’ says Cairns, who won the Archibald Prize in 2017.

Stephen Ralph’s marble assemblage, The Other Woman, is on display at the Chau Chak Wing Museum, Sydney. Part of the Roman Spectres exhibition, the work is a playful copy of plaster copies of antique sculpture. ‘The artwork sits alongside the 2000-year-old marble portraits, a subtle intervention that, in the words of the artist, recognises “the continuity of artmaking, from ancient times to now...”’. exhibition: now — late April 2025
