NO VACANCY GALLERY PRESENTS: [22nd APRIL 2010]
SWITCHEROO
ARTWORKS BY NIOR

For the past 5 years local artist Nior has been creating artwork from his leafy hideaway in the hills of Melbourne. His fascination with the local fauna and his compulsion to make and draw things stretches back much further.

The animal inhabitants of Nior’s hand-crafted, wooden environments are endearingly familiar yet otherworldly critters. His unique style of artistic zoology sees each painting and scultpture adding to a visual encyclopedia of animals that make you wish they exist.

Nior’s artwork has featured alongside Melbourne’s finest contemporary artists. Since his highly successful first solo exhibition at No Vacancy he has received broad acclaim for his work as part of The Triforce Advance alongside other local favourites; Ghostpatrol and Acorn. He has exhibited widely in Melbourne and internationally and now presents his second solo collection at No Vacancy.

sean edward whelan is amazing.
australian born now based in japan.
here is one of his latest watercolours

“Finally, after 2 months of (not so solid) work, Teramachi is finished! I have been really looking forward to finishing this one…even more so to moving onto something else (probably smaller, with less shrines, and very little detail). Hope you enjoy. I will upload some detail shots into the gallery too, so feel free to check them out. Cheers. Sean.”

Miso – Tchusse
{Stanislava Pinchuk}

Opening Night: Thursday, 3rd December {6-9 pm}
Gorker Gallery – crnr Gore & Kerr Streets, Melbourne.

“‘Tchusse’ sees Miso re-create & condense her home city into a gallery.
Kharkov {Ukraine} becomes a floor to ceiling installation – portraits of
strangers in the street, of friends, folk stories and things otherwise
forgotten, turned into a city built from paper, material and decaying wood,
as Miso replicates buildings, street signs and notices, ladders, empty
bottles, criminal tattoos and clothesline and clothesline from memory.
In this way, Tchusse becomes an extension if Miso’s widely renowned
work as a street artist, as well as being her most ambitious installation &
gallery project yet.”

Miso will be doing an artists talk on the wine tasting evening – Wednesday,
16th of December, at 6 pm. ‘Tchusse’ will also be the launch of a
collaborative clothing project with Warren Harrison.

The exhibition will run until 20th December;
3-7 pm Wednesday-Friday // 11am – 7pm Saturday-Sunday.
