Justin Lee Williams & Andrew Gordon: I never said that I was brave!    [20th August 2008]
2 Amazing artists come together and create one amazing exhibition, with similiar concepts and creations both artists have produced some incredible pieces for the show.

Justin and Andrew spent the days leading up to the show’s opening painting No Vacancy’s never ending white walls with a sort of adlib combination of both their styles. Both artists drove in each night from their respective far away homes, country and beach, and spent their hours with paint, cans, wine and brushes preparing a background to host the 40 odd pieces they have collectively created.

“I never said that I was brave!” is an exhibition of work by Justin Lee Williams and Andrew Gordon. Both artists gain inspiration from the solitude of their surrounds, Justin in the mountains outside of Melbourne and Andrew on the coast of Southern Victoria.

Justin combines areas of great detail with bold colour to express his thoughts on the relationship between living creatures and the earth. While Andrew uses childhood memories to create candid ideas about human interaction.

“I never said that I was brave!” will feature acrylic and water colour paintings, drawings and animations by both artists as well as limited edition prints and zines.

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.

Occasionally a brand comes along which is based on a premise so solid that it practically writes its own history. A brand where every release makes perfect sense and seems to be a natural synthesis of current trends and the original idea.

Melbourne’s B.BOT DEFENSE SYSTEMS INCORPORATED is exactly such a brand, more human than human, bringing together the history of robot, androids and cyborgs and the history of street wear, to make one of the best brands i’ve seen. Here’s some of the latest pieces to go up on Nice.
