Today I went out to 5 Pointz in Queens and took a bunch of photos, met a few writers and had good chats about the differences between Australia and America. This place is insane. I didn’t see any Australian pieces, however the Youtube clip below shows off some Aussie action, guess who… 😉

After several years of experimentation where he devoted serious energy into exploring the iconography of his own youth, Swift has developed a truly unique slant on British Pop art and what POP means to him.

Through his ID as Swifty Typografix, he has long maintained a global following for his innovative escapades in design. He is an Apple Mac pioneer and an unrepentant acolyte of the post hip hop sampling generation.

However, his own works have seen him tackle a more personal trajectory. He likes to get hands on and messy. He effortlessly switches from hi-tech to lo-fi and is a true believer in practical skills.

His small, exclusive runs of silkscreen prints, etchings and aquatints have already attracted fans and buyers both locally and through the Art Car Boot Sale in Brick Lane where he shared a stall with Scrawl Collective, alongside Sir Peter Blake.

His latest work maintains his Northern, down to earth outlook but is inevitably phunky and humourous. It highlights the artist’s love of the process, and his fascination with different techniques but it’s his  exploration of the so called mundane, through his growing collection of  nostalgia, that engages the viewer to reveal hidden layers of meaning.

As this is first time he will be exhibiting his work outside the UK, Swifty has done original art specially for this show as well as doing a ‘live’ art piece at the gallery’s opening night. Futhermore, there will limited editions of his iconic prints and other exlusives available at the opening night of the show, so don’t miss it!

Swifty, the British master of camouflage and typography will arriving in Melbourne next week to launch his debut solo exhibition on our burning shores. Here’s a sneak preview of the show which will be launching at No Vacancy on the 5th of March.

Extensive interview will be posted next week so keep watching this space.

Australia artist and illustrator Ben Brown has been running the Sydney poster art game for so long that the details are irrelevant. The bottom line is he is the man, the undisputed ruler of a domain infested by zombies, pop art and metal.

“Feeling Lucky”, Ben’s latest solo show will be on display in Melbourne at Marker Gallery on the 6th of march will be a series of prints and drawings, metal, pop culture and the undead, no doubt a welcome feature.

We’ll bring you a first glimpse of the art closer to the date.

Marker Gallery, 159 Johnson St Collingwood.

And because we love you, here is a preview of an upcoming Nice Produce T , “The Bodhisattva of revealing the true nature of things through boundless cynicism” by none other than Ben Brown. Looking at mid March release at this stage.
