One of the best dudes we know, and one of the finest stencils artists in the world, ELK will be holding another solo show at Metro Gallery next week. This time around, ELK delves into the concrete behemoth of our urban surrounds, with a bunch of work based on a shitload of travels through metropolises
READ MOREWe headed down to check out E.L.K.s show last week, and it was a damn fine show indeed, everything we had expected it would be an more. On a side note, there’s a great interview with E.L.K. with Alex McCulloch over at his podcast site, and if you want to know a bit more about
READ MOREWhat can we say about Adnates show at Metro Gallery thats on right now? Beautiful. One of the best shows from a Melbourne street artist we’ve seen. Respectful. All the things that others have said many times over the past two weeks … but, really, what we feel about this show is that we’re pretty
READ MOREIt is a virtual impossibility for me to walk away from a Michael Peck exhibition without wishing I had one of his works on my walls – if I was to have to really, really nail down my “favourite” artists, he would be right up there, there’s just … something. Something about the fantastical realism,
READ MOREMetro Galley never does things by halves – hot on the heels of the the opening night of their latest street art show “Writings on the Wall” comes another talent laden afternoon of live art in the Gallery. Two of our favorites, and friends Unwell Bunny and TwoOne (whose show opens Friday night at Backwoods!)
READ MOREWe ove it when Metro decided to put on one of its street art collection shows – they certainly have a whole bunch of great shit! That said, this show isn’t just works from their stockroom, it also features a whole bunch of new works from artists such as Rone, Adnate, Swoon, ELK, Dabs Myla
READ MORESo 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 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 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 MORELast Saturday, we took ourselves down to Art Melbourne – like many of you probably did, if you’re here in the ‘burn. Total artgasm.
