Prepare yourself for ‘Southern Wild’ by Kaff-eine coming to The Tallows in Kensington this December.

You won’t want to miss what Facebook has described as too sensitive for it’s pages. Kaff-eine has once again captured the beauty of the beasts who walk among us in charcoal, watercolour and aerosol paint.  Lawyer turned street artist Kaff-eine continues her iconic deer hunters series, captivating audiences the world over.

“Enter the Southern Wild: a place of lush potential; dark, brooding spaces; and encounters with anonymous, sultry beasts from Australia’s deep south.”

Original paintings, limited edition fine art prints, and collector card sets are available now. Contact Kaff-eine for catalogues, previews and presales.

“Kaffeine’s body of work, Southern Wild, extends her deerhunter series while folding within these characters her interests in outback queer Australia, the LGBTI+ community, the gothic and the potential of hyperreal portraiture to convey the intersections of these themes. Darkness and light, animal and human, living and dead, softness and strength; lines are blurred and contradictions are celebrated. This darker, brooding body of work does not shy away from exploring the complexities of identities, bodies, sexualities, genders and desires. Perhaps some of her most intimate and real work to date, the bodies glow, as masters of their egos and eccentricities, folds and spots.” Goodie

Celebrate with the artist herself, and the models who volunteered their flesh, many for the first time, for these special portraits.
