The Eternal Order In Nature

Australia boasts some of the best artists in botanical illustration and an exhibition which showcases both the old and the new is sorely overdue.  The Eternal Order in Nature: The Science of Botanical Illustration presented by the Friends of the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne will be timed to coincide with the XVIII International Botanical Congress at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre in July 2011. The Eternal Order in Nature: The Science of Botanical Illustration will be a great opportunity to present not only 30 of the country’s leading talents in botanical illustration but will also display the diversity of Australian flora and landscape. Each of the artists will produce a series of small to large scale projects which will raise questions and challenge the nature of botanical illustration with its capacity to blur the boundaries between art and science.  This exhibition will provide an insight into the methods and processes of botanical illustration, present collaborative projects with botanists and offer the viewer an insight into understanding the skills required to produce such beautiful and accurate works, many of which will be for sale.

1ST PRIZE – INTERNATIONAL STREET PHOTOGRAPHY AWARD AND THE WINNER IS.....
 MR JESSE MARLOW                          

Lantern Printing would like to congratulate one of our favourite clients Jesse Marlow who won 1st Prize in the inaugural International Street Photography Prize. The award was part of the London Street Photograph Festival which takes place during the month of July, with over 1600 Entrants. Street photography is perhaps more easily defined as a method than a genre, it is documentary, portraiture and other genres, but the key elements of spontaneity, careful observation and an open mind ready to capture whatever appears in the viewfinder are essential.
