FROM THE STREET TO THE GALLERY

Fortwenty Gallery presents The Tresspass Exhibition featuring the latest works of reknowned street artists Sofles, Saikoe, Linz, Ken Oath (750 Rebels), Malice, Mechs, Yuin Huz (Coalition Crew), Vinson, Yanoe, Erus, Dkues, Damien Matter and Budgie Smuggler. The Tresspass Exhibition opens at Fortwenty Gallery @ The Fort Arts Hub, 57 Brunswick Street Fortitude Valley, Saturday 18 July at 7pm, until 30 July.

This raw, collaborative group exhibition forgos the canvas entirely, instead presenting striking new works on old and recycled street and railway construction signs. These familiar symbols of caution and hazard are the ideal medium for these cutting edge aerosol, brushwork and paint pen masterpieces which incorporate the old signs into creative new concepts of design prowess.

The Tresspass Exhibition features an all-star line up of many of Australia's most talented, versatile and dedicated aerosol artists exhibiting their latest works to the public within the confines of the gallery walls, while still keeping with the true nature of the street art genre.

The Trespass Exhibition takes you through the hole in the fence to the wrong side of the tracks, giving you a rare and up close glimpse at the world’s most adventurous, extreme & controversial artistic movement!

Things to spend your money on.

This is the first of a few posts. The following drawings and paintings where created for my solo show "Collections Collected" which happened on the 12Th of June. They are all drawn on vintage paper the paper was sourced from books which date before the 1960's. The medium I used to draw each piece varies but I predominately used pen, ink, gouache, water colour, pencil & acrylic. All up I had around 80 pages.
They are up for sale, each piece is $35 including p/h ( within Australia ).In the coming days I will post the larger pieces they too will be for sale.

What better way to spend some loose change and support a starving artist.

Thank you
