If you haven’t read Curvy before, you’re really missing out, its a great litmus of femme artists who are cool and awesome in todays underground, emerging and illustrative art land.

Alongside the show at aMBUSH Gallery in Sydney will be the first show from international artist Miss Van! More details from the release …

“CURVY is an annual book and exhibition that features the most exciting female artists from over 40 countries around the world. Join us in Sydney at aMBUSH Gallery as we launch the latest edition and group show as part of Semi-Permanent 2012.

Collaborating with women from design capitals including Paris, London, LA, NYC, Melbourne, Toronto and Tokyo – and from countries as far afield as Australia, Ecuador, Mexico, Moscow, Serbia, Latvia, Indonesia, Norway, Malta and Israel among many others, CURVY is a platform where the next generation of female creative talent can shine.
This edition, the eighth in the series, introduces the latest wave of exciting female visual artists in a new hard cover format and builds on the momentum of previous years with a new batch of boundary breakers.

The 2012 exhibition features work from a selection of artists in this year’s book plus a special collection by Miss Van in her first Australian show. A range of works from over 30 artists are available for purchase exclusively via this one night only event ranging from $100 – $8,000.
The CURVY show kicks off Semi-Permanent 2012 and is not to be missed.”

Word is that there will also be some live painting happening on the night as well! This show is not to be missed, such an amazing display of artists on hand for the night, and Curvy itself is a great volume of art that should be on everyones coffee table!
