So last Wednesday Herakut opened their show “Too High to Heal” at Metro Gallery Armadale. Having had the pleasure of watching them paint in Melbourne and Fitzroy, I was really looking forward to seeing their studio work in the flesh. The show delivered and exceeded my expectations. Beautifully detailed playful characters with amazingly accurate eyes
READ MOREA bit late on this one, but better late than never. I’ve been spending too much time watching them painting in the streets of Melbourne. Really looking forward to this show. Herakut need no introduction. Their latest show opens tomorrow night at 6:30 at Metro Gallery, Armadale. If their work in the streets
READ MOREAlas, the one show this year that I was keener than hell to see – and I missed it (okay, so I’m not in Melbourne, but hey). God. Damn. From all accounts via Dave Russell, who got all the photos for us from the recent Dabs Myla show, it was probably the most packed that
READ MOREBack in 2010, when I first started Invurt, one of the very first interviews we ran was with two of my favourite artists – Dabs Myla. They were, at that time, just settling in to their new life in Los Angeles, having emigrated to the USA in the pursuit of artistic happiness and a fully
READ MOREYou’ve probably all heard the news and seen it already, but here it is again – Dabs Myla will be returning home from their Hollywood abode next week, for a entirely new exhibition – “All Good Things …” at Metro Gallery in Armadale. If you’ve been following Dabs Myla for the last few years (like
READ MORELast Wednesday night we made out way over to Metro Gallery to check out the latest exhibition from E.L.K., Not With It. This has to have been possibly one of the best shows of stencil art that we have ever seen – the mans technical skill is amazing, and we absolutely loved the combination of
READ MOREI can pinpoint where I met E.L.K. to the exact moment, and I can remember quite clearly, exactly, what was said and what happened. In fact, I wrote about it, so even if my memory had of, by chance, been a little hazy its all there. It was, truth be told, something of a “moment”
READ MOREWe have no compunctions with stating right here and now that E.L.K. is one of our all time favourite Australian artists. His work over the years has continually blown us away and catapulted him to the top of his game. Now, after a hugely successful year, E.L.K. will be presenting his next solo show “Not
READ MORELast week saw the opening of Stormie Mills latest solo show, People & Places, at Melbournes Metro Gallery. As to be expected, Stormie brought his “A game”, with a delectable array of his stylised, emotive characters spread across the walls of the gallery. Something else we loved, was the “cityscape” piece that heralded the show
READ MOREOnce again we are in for a massive treat – Stormie Mills (who we interviewed last year) is back in Melbourne this week for his final solo show of the year, with People & Places. We recently caught up and heard Stormie talk at the Art Series Conversation Corner, and it was a rare and
READ MOREWith a relatively swift trajectory, Hush has fast become a significant figure amongst the new, avant-garde class of artists whose techniques are derived from a blending of street, design and traditional elements. The vast majority of Hushs work is infused with swirling, seemingly chaotic urban mark making. His style conveys a remarkable unity of modern
READ MOREThis is a show that we have been looking forward to for some time now, and now that it is just around the corner, we’re brimming with anticipation. We first saw the work of Hush several years ago, and have enjoyed watching his colourful work evolve, going from strength to strength with every piece we
