Mark Zombo – A Lifetime’s Work

Another great show at the House of bricks....
Mark Zombo aka Mark Palazzolo started his artistic voyage way back in 1989 with a piece of work that stretched from one end of an A2 board to the other. Mark’s intricate detail and microscopic style resulted in 6 months of dedication to the one artwork.

Keeping that concept alive, he built a body of work, upping the ante by tackling larger and larger pieces, to the point where one artwork consumed four years of his life.

By 2013 Mark has yielded 17 completed framed art works, with an 18th in progress.

Throughout the years, snippets of his art have reached iconic status from record covers, a by-product of his career in the punk rock world, as bass player/founding member of Rupture.

Now he has decided to share his personal collection with the public, and provide the availability of limited prints of his fine art pieces.

Opening Friday March 29 @ House of Bricks. 6-9pm, Exhibition runs 27.03.13 – 7.03.13

House of Bricks
40 Budd st, Collingwood
VIC, 3066 Australia

Aquamarine Flow

           Aquamarine Flow Exhibition

                 

              

                 Studio106 (Ll 1, 106 Barkly Street, St Kilda)

                 www.artwhatson.com.au/katiaksr

Aquamarine Flow art exhibition features St Kilda artist Katia Ksr's most recent paintings and prints, in which she aims to capture the sea as a place for contemplative reflection, self rejuvenation and natural interconnection.

"My recent paintings explore how being in nature can help us understand ourselves and find new levels of awareness and being,' Katia says, "The sea has many surfaces and depths...just like a person, it has its shades of light and dark. These paintings draw on my memories of the powerful and transformational experience of finding an emotional connection with the sea and its environment, and my own self."

• Thu 7 Feb: 6.00pm-9.00pm
• Opening night will feature a performance by The Pierce Brothers, plus face and body painting throughout the night by Lynne Jamieson of FACEMAGIC.

George Diamandis

House of Bricks proudly and psychedelically presents

EXPOSITION

A series of original paintings and prints by

George Diamandis

Exposition is an engaged and meaningful series of works from Melbourne artist George Diamandis, flaring with intricacy and depth of spirit.

George forms style from nature, gripping its psychedelic underpinnings in cognitive shapes through the blending and arrangement of colour and illustration.

The result is a vision of works both broken and whole, confusing and disarmingly simple, with an inexplicable dose of true talent. Come check it out!

Opening Party Saturday 2nd Feb 2013 6-9pm

Exhibition Dates – 30.01.13 – 10.02.13

Drawing On Desire

"Drawing on Desire" is Melbourne artist Stacey Bennett's debut solo exhibition.

Love, heartache, infatuation, obsession - we've all been there, and "Drawing on Desire" is a tempestuous and evocative display of these emotions, engaging the viewer through traditionally rendered illustrations and contemporary type design.

"Drawing on Desire" encompasses a range of styles, mixed media, and applications that visually communicates concepts from the serious to the quirky, from light-hearted to soul searching.

Opening night is January 21, 2013, and the exhibition runs until January 26 at:

The Owl and the Pussycat Gallery,

34 Swan Street, Richmond
