Claudia Karvan for Noah Taylor at Olsen Irwin Works on Paper Gallery..

I did not catch the explanation, however Noah Taylor was unable to attend this opening of his 'New Works' show; which of course made it impossible for me to make an artist at their opening portrait of him for my collection! Never mind, the crowd was great; Claudia Karvan is of course simply gorgeous, gave the opening speech on Noah's behalf; and I will get that portrait another time!

From the look of the artworks and the one in the window in particular I think Noah may have been reading the Russian masterpiece The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov. A bizarre novel which features a large walking, talking, black cat which gets up to all sorts of mischief, and there's a magician too, in the novel, the Master I think, it's been a while.. Anyway artists are a lot like magicians in that they make wonderful things appear where previously there was nothing at all. Noah's works look great, bold strokes, black ink, white paper, magic! And there were plenty of people spilling out of the gallery and across the sunny Woollahra pavement in the lovely winter light and those people were kind enough to let me snap their style for Street Fashion Sydney; and here they are.

Street Fashion Sydney - shot with the Fujifilm X-Pro1 

Back to Paper at Studio W (Double You..)

Whoever wrote the lame campaign for converse 'Shoes are Boring' has NEVER been to an art opening heavily populated with NAS students where the shoes are never boring and the clothes are always well styled; but then they have some experience at putting together Art & Fashion, so no surprises there.. Gather together a group show of past and present NAS students - and well you can just imagine how its going to go off! But just in case you are having trouble imagining, never fear Street Fashion Sydney is here with a lovely editorial on the opening night - we have everything, jackets and bags, art and artists, Shoes, shoes shoes, more shoes and more home grown style than you can poke a 2B pencil at! And talk about resilient no Heads Will Role art scandal was going to put the brakes on this celebration of art on paper. And a lot of affordable good art too; but you better be quick the red dots were popping up all over the shop. Now that's what all artist need, some healthy sales to make all the effort worth while.
