Shots of artwork from Beastmans first solo show at The Hieghts.

more up here.

Brad Eastman a.k.a BeastMan, the artist behind the Sydney based online arts magazine We Are The Image Makers and currator of some of the best shows that NSW has seen in the last few years has his debut solo show at The Heights on Friday evening.

For those who are lucky enough to be around, later that night SheOne will be painting up the Oxford Arts Factory just down the road. We’ll bring you photos from both these events on Monday.

C-90 is an exhibition by Sydney artist and curator Mark Drew, of cassette tape imagery via canvas, sculpture and illustrative print media.
The works in this show have been developed from a large scale mural painted at Oxford Art Factory in February of this year, of his teenage collection of cassette tape spines.
“in a time of MP3 data, the imagery C-90 deals with is quite emotive, recalling the graphic side of personal music collections”.
Drew has been behind the scenes of over 100 local art shows, as the co-owner of China Heights gallery. C-90 is his first major solo show, opening at Palmer Projects 6pm, Thursday 9th October 2008 and will continue daily up until October 15th.

Opening Night: Thursday 9th October, 6pm-9pm.

Melbourneʼs esteemed quality of graffiti and street art can be tracked to the influence and tutelage of one prolific artist. Phibs. Initially raised in county New South Wales before moving to the city of Sydney, Phibs relocated to Melbourne due to its strong support in the local arts community and the increased opportunities for emerging artists.

Originating from a traditional graffiti background, Phibs endeavors to promote the value of the art-form through outlets such as ommissioned murals, youth workshops, exhibitions, and theatrical productions. His remarkably detailed murals can be seen around the inner city suburbs of Fitzroy and Collingwood as well as throughout the city itself.

Whilst Phibsʼ signature is his intricate, almost stencil-like, delineated lines and ʻcut-backʼ methods, his work is visibly influenced by the art nd mythology of many cultures, both ancient and modern. Highly regarded amongst his peers, he continues to exhibit in elbourne and interstate galleries, and has been represented at numerous festivals throughout the country.

Phibs has another show in the works that will be launching on Friday 5th of September down at China Heights in Sydney. Check the flyer, remember the date, more news soon.

Running off the back of last years successful charity event, the second installment of the show will once again feature the works of up and coming young Australian artists using the blank canvases of Skateboards and Snowboards to display their expressions.

Artists have donated their pieces and all proceeds raised through the sales will once again go the CHILL organization. A non-profit organization that takes under privileged youth to our snowy mountains for a week of adventure and learning.

LoungeKat and BoT bring the love to Sydney!
