Johnny Romeo
Posted by Fabio 21 October 2011
Johnny Romeo is an Australian born painter. His work centres on pop culture, cultural homogenisation, the failures of blind consumerism, media saturation, celebrity fetish and brand name heroes. He mixes pop techniques with street art to critique some of the consumerist sentiments pervasive in society and, at times, in art, leading to him being called a colourist and a pop individualist.

Alyssa Monks
Posted by Fabio 17 October 2011
Alyssa Monks’ paintings explore the tension between abstraction and realism, using different filters to visually distort and disintegrate the body.

Strokes of thick paint in delicate color relationships are pushed and pulled to imitate glass, steam, water and flesh. read more

Unplugged
Posted by Fabio 12 October 2011
Once upon a time, music played on bare leaves was a knockout at rural fairs and dances, and the routine pastime of hillbillies. In a remote hamlet, in poverty-stricken Serbian countryside, typically while shepherding cattle, one old man would still pick a leaf from the tree, and for personal pleasure, he would start playing the music of his youth, using the leaf as an extraordinary wind instrument.
