To celebrate the opening of their new gallery, Colour by Numbers are kicking things off with their show ‘Up Close’. If this ridiculous lineup of  artists is anything to go by, then this will be a gallery to keep your eye on.

In a rather unique approach, Colour by Numbers is a transitional gallery featuring pop-up events in both Sydney and Melbourne: “Aiming to support emerging and established artists from both Australia and overseas, Colour By Numbers Gallery will have fortnightly exhibitions, showcasing a range of artists spanning the genres of lowbrow, contemporary, street art, graffiti, illustration, photography, film and installation. Colour By Numbers Gallery is a new concept to Sydney and Melbourne, presenting regular pop-up exhibitions at different unique locations throughout Sydney and Melbourne cities and surrounding inner-city suburbs every two weeks.”

The artworks for the show have been donated by over 30 artists to support the opening of the gallery. The clever kids at Colour by Numbers will give you one of the donated artworks in exchange for a donation towards the gallery to help get the doors open.  With this many clever ideas, and this many fantastic artworks up for offer, we are really looking forward to see what else these guys have in store for us.
