About Art Last Night - Landscapes at King on William & Stacks.

Landscapes. I love landscapes and I love figurative landscapes. Last night even had painted landscapes on glass transferred photographically as prints. Heliographs by Idris Murphy as part of his show Drawing Breath, Works on Paper at King Street Gallery on William. Actually both landscape 'painting' shows I attended last night had a loose photographic connection. Newcomer Stacks Projects in Victoria Street Potts Point/Kings Cross is on the site of the legendary former Graces Camera shop (second hand gear or just plain stolen??? no one ever seemed to know..). Idris's show was opened by Max Cullen who gave a memorable speech about the area the paintings are from and Aboriginal heritage of the land, visions of the land, landscapes.. Michelle Hungerford's exhibition is a highly figurative and colourful exhibition of works on paper. Both shows are on NOW and within walking distance of one another. Links below.

On the Rivet - Art & Fashion - Well we like that!

And I like it when my weeks meanderings turn into some sort of mostly coherent visual significance; and photography for you. My first show of the week (starts 3rd shot down) was Tyrannium by Dionysos Anton at KUDOS Gallery which features youth-style inspired art and a number of jackets that had been artified as well as rugs/wall hangings from upcycled fabrics, the denim wall work is pictured below. All along with a collection of drawings large and small and sculptural pieces that were not 'fashion' a billy/go-cart (looked like a dad build to me); a forest of stakes.. a video edit of Japanese Godzilla animations - everything a budding young heart could desire - and I loved it!

Of course it's also VIVID Sydney so I have been prowling around working on my 2016 VIVID photographic project. Which is just how I came to bump into two of the artists who were servicing their artworks, which were a little worse for wear after the terrible weekend weather.. Then last night the Duchamp meets Non-Objective works of Joe Wilson & Chanelle Collier at their show ART THAT DOES at Mils Gallery; and a diversely stylish art crowd very much in evidence. All of which was capped off by the jacket, patches, rings and tattooed fingers of the lady immediately below; as I left the Shakespeare Hotel after a steak and chips and another glass of ale. As always lots to see in Sydney, these shows are all on now; links below.
