Well, the time is fast approaching for the first big group show at Prahrans Artboy gallery, and man, what a fun idea! Getting a bunch of artists from all different styles and mediums and letting them lose to do their own fan inspired artwork based on video games? Its just a great fit – we have all, at some stage or another, loved a video game – even those that aren’t gamers, so I’m really curious to see what all the artists come up with! The gallery will feature over fifty one off pieces done especially for the show, and artists from all over Australia including dirtfish, Bruyn, Mike Adey, Matthew Dunn, Bados Earthling (Who will also make an appearance! ),Ed Bechervaise, Nicole Tattersall, Ralf Kempken, Tuvsday, Allain De Leon and more.
Theres are two great interviews online with Marc Huntington, owner and curator of Artboy, at both The Age as well as Gamespot – so have a read, get the low down, and then get down to Prahran next Friday night for a look!
Who: dirtfish, Bruyn, Mike Adey, Matthew Dunn, Bados Earthling (Who will also make an appearance! ), Ed Bechervaise, Nicole Tattersall, Ralf Kempken, Tuvsday, Allain De Leon and more.
