Same - Artists and their Posse at 55 Sydenham Rd

'Same' a group showing by - Jack Jeweller / Robert Milne / Marian Tubbs / Eleanor Weber - and some of best video art I have seen in a long time. The Director of the gallery told me the artists were anonymous but the artists told me they were not.. I never got to the bottom of that one so I decided to do an anonymous portrait anyway with everyone facing away from the camera, and just to be safe, a front one too. I've joined them together as you can see below, having an each way bet on whether the art crew are anonymous or not..

And there was a stylish 'art posse' in attendance too who were kind enough to let me make a little series of Street Fashion Portraits; thank you everyone for your kindness and patience.

Get down to the gallery; check out the video install - it was VERY fashion oriented which was kind of nice; maybe thats why I liked it so much, and so much better than your usual 'Fashion Video', fashion-directors take note!

Artisit's Style - Beatrix Curran - Marrickville

Of course when you attend a group show there is always going to be a group of artists in attendance; yes that's just the way it works. I made this lovely portrait of Beatrix (with her art) at the "The Sausage Show" which is on now at 55 Sydenham Rd gallery... Something I have noticed over the years of making portraits of Artists at their openings is that they are more often that not, dressed in a way that is coordinated with their art; I love that! It's certainly happening in this portrait of Beatrix and it's also happening in the portrait I made of Jakob at the same show. What do you think? Or am I just imagining it all.. I will leave the decision up to you.
