Totally excited for this one! No Vacancy in collaboration with Illustrators Australia have put together this awesome collection of 60 works by 60 amazingly talented different illustrators, designers and artists. We’re loving the theme – as the name suggests, each work is based on a representation of God, with the exhibition featuring creations of a deeply mystical and personal nature – super interesting.

The show features the talents of Melbourne based creatives, some known to us, as well as some new faces, and it’s looking to be quite the journey into the realm of faith and fable, with just the right amount of humour and sarcasm included!

The medium on which the artwork will be based is what intrigues us the most …

“The idea behind this exhibition is to provide each artist with a standard size baby doll. The artists are then asked to convert his or her doll into a deity. The artists are welcome to use any medium or technique they like to convert their doll into a God.”

Curated by ex- Illustrators  Australia president, and drawing fiend, Daniel Atkinson, it will feature the works of illustrators such as Ben Ashton-Bell, Sonia Kretschmar, Andrea Innocent, textile designer Sarah Strickland, fine artists Kirsten Perry and Stephen Ives to name just a small handful!

Creepy/cool/quirky dolls on display? Gotta check this one out.
