From his hometown of Brisbane, to Melbourne, New York and seemingly all across the country, Guido Van Helten has been working his own brand of artistic magic across city walls for many years. From commissions of public art, to his own personal work, it is only now that he is beginning to enter the gallery
Artboy Gallery have done it again with their fifth Fanboy vs Artboy group show. Marc and the team threw down the gauntlet and challenged forty artists to come up with their own interpretations of famous fairytales and fables. The result: a diverse collection of contemporary and traditional art forms rediscovering cautionary tales with talking beasts,
Man, does Paradise Hills ever stop? They are so chock full of shows, events and other creative goodness lately – and this week is no exception. The Rambler Collective comprises four members, Hollie M Kelley, Ryan McGennisken, Jamie Hall and James Ruff. Two of these artists, Ryan McGennisken and Hollie M Kelley are no strangers
We love the whimsicalness that is Fanboy vs Artboy, and this next show is whimsy and coolness in full flight. At the last Fanboy vs Artboy (Sci-fi), all visitors were asked to vote on what they wanted to see for the next show, with resounding approval for the theme of Fairytales & Fables! “Passed down
We haven’t seen a show from the phenomenal New Zealand artist Askew for a while, but this one coming up looks like it’d be worth the wait (and a flight over if we could spare the time!). Askew has to count as one of the most prominent, and in our eyes, influential modern graffiti artists
Only just last week we were at the amazing Melbourne‘s Burning show, and again, this week, Paradise Hills gives us another, Project-Ion.

The final show we got to last night (there were four in all!) was Rekas exhibition, Primary Suspects, at Backwoods Gallery. As always, loving the vibe at Backwoods, and Rekas show was awesome. We particularly loved how he is broadening his style out and we really loved the painted cans (which were actually portraits of
We got to Paradise Hills last night as well for Melbourne’s Burning – fantastic fkn show as always, Josh Lord did a great job of putting it all together, the crowd was rad and the art was superb. Get down and see it if you didn’t get there last night, its on for a bit!
Mick Rafferty was a busy boy last night, and he also headed over to West Footscray for the Steamscape show at Post Industrial Design!

The work of Nanami Cowdroy, with its depth, precision and salubrious themes, grabbed our attention some time ago. In terms of utilisation of her preferred mediums, there is no doubt that this Sydney artist has mastered the application of her style. So, when we heard the news that she, along with the muchly talented Beastman,
ATom1746 is a relatively new artist on our radar, but his interwoven pop-art stencilist styled pieces works for us. Perusing his gallery, we were really impressed by the range of pieces he put out last year. “ATom1746 is an urban artist from Christchurch, New Zealand.
