I wasn’t able to make it to the opening exhibition the other week at Richmonds new gallery, Paradise Hills, but I’m hoping to make it down for this next group show opening from Reko Rennie, Stabs, Rus Kitchin and Jay Walker. I’ve heard really good things about the gallery itself, and I know the work of most of the artists for this next show, so it should be a good one.

“The exhibition surveys four artists that have been involved in the street art scene for many years throughout Melbourne, Australia and now internationally. They are recognised as having their roots in the underground street scene and are now emerging as a select group of artists in a movement that is a forerunner in contemporary art.
Connect Four aims to bring the murals of the outdoor brick walls into the white cube space of the gallery, also providing a forum for these artists to break away from pure street associated work and amalgamate with the contemporary and traditional realms of visual art.
Opening features a session by Ry David Bradley on the decks.”
