Based on her original ‘Michi Girl’ illustrations from previous illustrated books (‘Like I Give a Frock’ and ‘What On Earth Are You Wearing?’, Kate, has brought Chloe Quigley and Daniel Pollock’s fictional weather girl and fashion commentator out of the pages and into the gallery.
A whirl wind of fashion and style, the inspiration for these works is ever present and well presented by this The Jacky Winter Group artist, specially so in the coming exhibition. The mix of placid, water colours, stream lined drawing and paper to express is perfectly balanced with the stunningly executed portraiture.
“The exhibition coincides with the auspicious occasion of Michi’s 10th birthday and features a series of redheaded beauties hand-picked by Macleod from her personal collection, complete with signature imperfections which reveal the process of metamorphosis behind the illustrations.Since her last solo show in 2009, Macleod has illustrated two books, the aforementioned What On Earth Are You Wearing?, and Sequins & Sequence (2010, ERM books). These join the shelf with her previously illustrated titles – Bird (2002, 3 Deep Design), The Cocktail (2005, Hardie Grant) and Michi Girl’s Like I Give a Frock. Her illustrations have appeared on runway invitations for Collette Dinnigan, album artwork for Clare Bowditch, on the pages of Chinese Vogue, Numero Tokyo and Australian Vogue Entertaining + Travel, as well as limited edition products for Heide Museum of Modern Art, The Australian Ballet and Third Drawer Down.”
A more perfect way to indulge in the spring season? we can’t imagine! Kate Macleod is a popular artist who, thus far, has had a brilliant career – we’re certain that her work with Mishis weather reports will be as wonderful in the future as it will be in this show!
So get out to Collingwood, and step inside the beautiful, and gorgeously illustrated, Page Girls.
