After we interviewed him a month or two ago, prior to his solo show "House Of Giants", we heard rumour that Fintan Magee would be heading down to the ‘burn for a little while – well, he arrived, and in the time since his extraordinary work has been showing up all over the place. As [...]]]> http://www.invurt.com/2011/11/08/exhibition-fintan-magee-melbourne/feed/ 1 http://www.invurt.com/2011/08/15/book-launch-craigie-tales-perth-2/ http://www.invurt.com/2011/08/15/book-launch-craigie-tales-perth-2/#comments Mon, 15 Aug 2011 06:41:54 +0000 Facter http://www.invurt.com/2011/08/15/book-launch-craigie-tales-perth-2/
For our readers who are uninformed of some of the background of Invurt’s editor, Facter, he actually grew up a stones throw away from the Perth suburb of Craigie, 6025 – (sharing the same postcode in neighbouring Padbury), and one of the landmarks near there, was  "the Craigie Wall." Described as a legal wall that [...]]]> http://www.invurt.com/2011/08/15/book-launch-craigie-tales-perth-2/feed/ 1 http://www.invurt.com/2011/08/10/exhibition-fintan-magee-house-of-giants-brisbane-2/ http://www.invurt.com/2011/08/10/exhibition-fintan-magee-house-of-giants-brisbane-2/#comments Wed, 10 Aug 2011 02:43:35 +0000 Facter http://www.invurt.com/2011/08/10/exhibition-fintan-magee-house-of-giants-brisbane-2/
With an amazing back catalouge of work, as well as a style that literally jumps out at you, Fintan Magee has the goods – and he’s been pretty damn prolific lately, with work springing up all across the country. You need only check out one of his recent wall sized still lifes to get an [...]]]> http://www.invurt.com/2011/08/10/exhibition-fintan-magee-house-of-giants-brisbane-2/feed/ 1 http://www.invurt.com/2011/07/26/exhibition-off-the-wall-wellington/ http://www.invurt.com/2011/07/26/exhibition-off-the-wall-wellington/#comments Tue, 26 Jul 2011 05:39:00 +0000 Facter http://www.invurt.com/?p=4701
Lots of things happening in the land of the long white cloud, not least of which are a bunch of community murals going up across the place. Its always good to see the support of local councils and transportation companies in beautifying the walls, and, having completed their work at Porirua train station, the artists [...]]]> http://www.invurt.com/2011/07/26/exhibition-off-the-wall-wellington/feed/ 0 http://www.invurt.com/2011/07/13/interview-cracked-ink/ http://www.invurt.com/2011/07/13/interview-cracked-ink/#comments Wed, 13 Jul 2011 03:41:00 +0000 Crutch http://www.invurt.com/?p=4575
It always intrigues me just how many people have a not-so-secret obsession with robots. I’m not quite sure where the fascination comes from, but, being one of those people myself, it is no surprise that whenever I encounter Cracked Ink’s work I’m often left with a sly smile. His recognisable black and white monster robots [...]]]> http://www.invurt.com/2011/07/13/interview-cracked-ink/feed/ 0 http://www.invurt.com/2011/03/31/interview-cam-scale/ http://www.invurt.com/2011/03/31/interview-cam-scale/#comments Thu, 31 Mar 2011 02:51:44 +0000 Facter http://www.invurt.com/2011/03/31/interview-cam-scale/
First appearing over ten years ago on walls and facades around the city, Cam Scale isn’t a stranger to the Melbourne street art scene. In more recent years, however, Scale has also had his unique work commissioned for some pretty hefty commercial enterprises, including Pepsi Max, Lion Nathan and Microsofts Xbox. As a successful artist [...]]]> http://www.invurt.com/2011/03/31/interview-cam-scale/feed/ 1 http://www.invurt.com/2011/03/01/exhibition-jodee-knowles-independent-of-time-nsw/ http://www.invurt.com/2011/03/01/exhibition-jodee-knowles-independent-of-time-nsw/#comments Mon, 28 Feb 2011 23:09:44 +0000 Facter http://www.invurt.com/2011/03/01/exhibition-jodee-knowles-independent-of-time-nsw/
The wonderful work of Perth artist Jodee Knowles will be on display again at Friends Of Leon Gallery in Sydney in a fortnight, and if you are familiar with her work you’ll love this new collection of twelve pieces. Since her show at FOL last year, Jodee has done a whole bunch of work around [...]]]> http://www.invurt.com/2011/03/01/exhibition-jodee-knowles-independent-of-time-nsw/feed/ 1 http://www.invurt.com/2011/02/17/street-dreams-adelaide-urban-art-festival-a-really-really-rough-guide/ http://www.invurt.com/2011/02/17/street-dreams-adelaide-urban-art-festival-a-really-really-rough-guide/#comments Thu, 17 Feb 2011 00:28:59 +0000 Facter http://www.invurt.com/2011/02/17/street-dreams-adelaide-urban-art-festival-a-really-really-rough-guide/
  Tomorrow, the 18th February, will see the kickoff of this years Adelaide Street Art Festival, Street Dreams, as a part of the Adelaide Fringe Festival.

There would be no stretch of the imagination involved if one was to suggest that Melbourne artist Makatron has been making waves in the past year with his exhibitions, murals and street art. As part of the Everfresh crew, who have a large array of colossal murals and more subtle pieces spread across both Burn [...]]]> http://www.invurt.com/2010/03/11/interview-makatron-everfresh-studio/feed/ 1
