    Tom Gerrard – Town & Country

    Tom Gerrard

    Come see all the incredible work done by Tom during his residency in Queenstown. Refreshments provided by the awesome peeps at Bodriggy Brewing Co.

    Transitioning from a bustling city to an isolated region of the world can really stir up feelings and emotions. There is a stark contrast between being surrounded by crowds of people and then being immersed in crowds of trees. The crowds of people are buzzing with energy and emotion and can make one feel uneasy. Whereas being surrounded by trees, plants and nature can have the opposite effect. The uneasy feeling is replaced with calm and connection.

    This is what I experienced when arriving in Queenstown, Tasmania for the Q Bank art residency. Wrapping up a busy 2018 in Melbourne where the population is growing at a rapid rate, I was feeling suffocated. That feeling lifted almost immediately as I arrived in Tasmania. I took in the space, colours, landscape, houses and environment in Queenstown and it inspired me to create this body of work. The colours, subject matter composition and styling are all a result of my time in nature and daily walks around Queenstown.

    There are two sides to this exhibition. One being the dense population of inner city Melbourne. The other being the spaciousness and wilderness of the west coast of Tasmania.

    New Evolution – An Exhibition by Junky Projects

    New Evolution Junky Projects

    Vs. Gallery is excited to present ‘New Evolution’ – the latest exhibition by Melbourne artist ‘Junky Projects’ (Daniel Lynch).

    Well known for his sculptural ‘junk sentinels’ posted on the streets of Melbourne and throughout Australia in their thousands. Daniel’s new exhibition sees him focus on the theme of ‘waste as art’.

    Having spent many weekends and late nights scouring the city streets for unique discarded objects, he carefully reassembles them into amazing whimsical sculptures and dioramas. His creative ‘recycling’ brings a new and unexpected form of life to an exhausted environment.

    Whilst Daniel’s art is often noted for its elegant simplicity, in this new body of work he introduces a new complexity to a number of his sculptures. Using found objects such as cutlery, hubcaps, broken toys, doorknobs and kitchen utensils, his assemblages take on striking and poetic characters – each with a life of their own.

    ‘The New Evolution’ portrays an imagined dystopian future where the only existing life forms are composed of junk, refuse and the detritus of a decaying world. It is a prophetic statement for the future of life on our planet and a hope that existence must continue in some form or another.

    Sunset Cities – Oh Baby (Official Video)

    Straight fire coming from Sunset Cities, a new collaborative group formed over a plate of Ethiopian food in Adelaide early last year between So.Crates (Cazeaux O.S.L.O. & Skomes), Nelson Dialect, and Alnitak Kid.
    “Oh Baby!” Call it out when you are high on love. “Oh Baby!” Cry it out when that same love gets you low. Over the soulful, trunk rattling production of Melbourne beat-maker Skomes, rapper/poets Nelson Dialect and Cazeaux O.S.L.O. weigh in on their perspective of love and loss. This track highlights the lyrical heavyweights mastery of their individual cadence and sound and simultaneously solidifies their union on record as a supergroup comfortable with the allure of boom bap basics and the challenge of great story telling. The one and only Jace XL (Hiatus Kaiyote) brings it home with a single question. “Do you love now love?” In the age of all things aimed toward instant gratification, “Oh Baby!” is both a love and anti-love anthem sent from the heart by two blues men of the new century.

    Back and Forward – An exhibition by Unwell Bunny

    Unwell Bunny

    OPENING FRIDAY FEB 8th – 6-9pm
    Unwell Bunny / Ed Bechervaise presents a retrospective back catalog of older and recent work in ‘back and forward’ showing a progression from street to gallery setting over a number of years.

    Emerging from the Adelaide 90’s graffiti, Ed has chipped away making a name for himself in the urban contemporary art scene in Melbourne and further abroad showing work in Amsterdam, New York and Paris.

    Ed studied studio arts in Adelaide and graphic and conceptual study in Melbourne. Over the years of practice his work has moved into a figurative and abstract sensibility, observing and deconstructing still life, figurative and facial portraiture, landscapes, and subconscious memory. Through bold striking and juxtaposing colour, Ed captures his observations with emotive feeling, creating compositions that generate a sense of nostalgia, and fluid memory.

    In this body of work Ed hopes to recreate these memories through installation, and spacial curation. Showing works from multiple themed shows over the years, that link together to become one longer broader narrative. Ed demonstrates influence, observation, and change through time. A collection of experiences that are a summery of seeing the world through fragments of passion about place, person, environment, and feeling.

    Tune In Toon Out Exhibition BSIDE Gallery

    TUNE IN TOON OUT

    Kicking off BSIDE Gallery‘s 2019 program we have studio resident and homie Evil Keanevil joining forces with Caper for a collaborative exhibition filled with colour and nostalgia.

    Take a trip down memory lane and see iconic cartoon characters recreated in the contemporary styles that both artists have honed over the years – from acrylic paintings and stencils, to intricate woodcuts.

    Join us for the opening of Tune In Toon Out from 6-9pm this Friday 18th January, proudly supported by Young Henrys!

    The exhibition runs from Tuesday 15th – Sunday 20th January 2019, for all enquiries please contact the Gallery Manager Ariana – info@bsidegallery.com

    Caper

    Caper has been an active street artist for over 12 years, creating illustrations and paintings that parody mass media and popular culture. His use of multi-layered imagery at times appear idiosyncratic and quirky. Whilst also acting as typical by-products of American superabundance and marketing. Caper’s works are saturated with mental inertia, cliches and bad jokes, and by their nature question the coerciveness of the superficial.

    Evil Keanevil

    Evil Keanevil’s work is a dynamic and bold exploration of entropy and deconstruction of reality. Pop culture icons, as well as original characters are deconstructed to reveal their core components, usually by liquefying or melting the subject.
    Questions and themes have risen through the meltingly matter, bubbling through the muck and surfacing in the paintings themselves. Components can be stripped away, and by what measure before the subject becomes unrecognisable? When the subject is melted down, is it their perception of reality being manipulated, or the viewer’s?

    Tuyuloveme Debut Australian Solo Exhibition

    NOTHING BUT LOVE

    “Passion, devotion and unbridled attraction; Tuyuloveme talks about the nature of his love and relationship with the streets. The late nights, long quiet strolls through the thoroughfare. Appreciating, learning and getting to know each other, day after day, year after year, time after time. Born not out of the need for the destruction but out of a deep-seated curiosity and need to express. From Yogyakarta, to Moscow to Melbourne and many streets more, Tuyuloveme looks back on the constant in his journey of life, both personally and artistically. Intrinsically connected and intimately informed by his kinship with the streets, alluring and delicate at times, tumultuous and boisterous otherwise, Tuyuloveme looks back into this journey through his art framed with ‘Nothing But Love’. Unrestrained and unchecked.”

    ZERO
    Founder of RSCLS Art Collective

    ————————————————————————
    Tuyuloveme is an Indonesian artist who began his artistic practice on the streets of Yogyakarta creating work in between the art and graffiti aesthetic.

    Although not a native of Yogyakarta, he has been a resident for couple of years as a base for him to do creative work while working with his national and international network.

    Tuyuloveme has been painting his unique style religiously on the streets for over 10 years. His paintings represent an alter-ego, a self-portrait of sorts, popping up on walls and street corners all over the world. His visual style is a juxtaposition of organised, expressive and chaotic expulsion; a contrast to his personality in real life.

    You may find this artistic works in the walls or corner of streets in major cities all over Indonesia, Asia, Europe and Australia. His career has been nourished and influenced by extensive travels and an ability to work and collaborate with other artists. Tuyuloveme has been featured in a number of national and international group exhibitions, and is proud to present his first solo exhibition outside of Indonesia, ‘Nothing But Love’ at BSIDE Gallery in Melbourne, Australia.

    Unwell Bunny – The Mountains We Climb

    Ed Bechervaise –
    Unwell Bunny 2018

    The mountains we climb is just as much about
    self exploration, as it is about Japan.

    Ed’s work has always explored two sides of the human experience, The moment in time, and the effect and the memory of it, the re interpretation and the re processing of a glimpse..

    That’s exactly what Ed does in exploring Japan, and its sensations. Its layers of feeling, through the chaos of
    Tokyo to the stillness of Kanazawa hills.

    Each image is broken down into fragments, with slabs of colour, texture and tone, that symbolise the experience, weather by night or day, dusk or after dawn. This is a time capsule of travel, but also of the struggle and exploration each of us go through in growing as people and evolving beyond what we know.

    The mountains we climb is about pushing limits of understanding. Exploring that place that brings discomfort, pushing the elements of your processing ability. For Ed he has done just this with his exploration of abstraction, and re interpretation.

    Under the Seed Launch

    Under the Seed sprouted in West Footscray, starting as an eco-friendly organically grown garden with bio-degradable seedlings for sale or swap. Little by little the garden blossomed from herbs, fruit and vegetables to adding plants, succulents and cacti.

    The concept ‘Artist Planters’ originated after commissioning Blender Studios artist Ruskidd to paint a DIY garden gnome using his brilliant techniques, and from there the idea was born. Under the Seed works side by side with local Melbourne artists to produce one-of-a-kind planter boxers to liven up your home or garden.

    Artist Planters ‘where nature meets the streets’.

    Sprung! brings together the first series of collaborative ‘Artist Planters’ curated and presented by Under the Seed and featuring artists:

    Mitch Walder – Ruskidd – DNART – Kenz – Poise – Le Grizz – Frosk – Junky Projects – Stopem – Crisis – Ohnoes – Chehehe – Silk Roy – Facter – Zoe Mullins

    Michiyo Yasuda, Studio Ghibli Colorist, Dies at Age 77

    The longtime animator and color designer, who last worked on Miyazaki’s final film The Wind Rises, passed away on Oct. 5 at the age of 77 due to an illness. Michiyo basically worked with the same two animators for most of her career. She met Miyazaki, along with animator Isao Takahata, on the 1968 production of Little Norse Prince and had worked with both ever since.

    laputa

    Yasuda started working with Studio Ghibli from the beginning, when it was founded in 1985. She led the studio’s color department and animated on films dating back to Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.

    spirited-away-2-625x352

    “What I like best is when I am building up the colors in my head, thinking of how to get the tone worked out,” she said in 2009. “Color has a meaning, and it makes the film more easily understood. Colors and pictures can enhance what the situation is on screen.”

    Rest in paradise Michiyo

    Walt Disney’s & Salvador Dali – Destino 2003

    Salvador Dalí’s long lost collaboration with Walt Disney will take your breath away.

    The film tells the story of Chronos, the personification of time and the inability to realize his desire to love for a mortal. The scenes blend a series of surreal paintings of Dali with dancing and metamorphosis. The target production began in 1945, 58 years before its completion and was a collaboration between Walt Disney and the Spanish surrealist painter, Salvador Dalí.

    Salvador Dali and Walt Disney Destiny was produced by Dali and John Hench for 8 months between 1945 and 1946. Dali, at the time, Hench described as a “ghostly figure” who knew better than Dali or the secrets of the Disney film. For some time, the project remained a secret. The work of painter Salvador Dali was to prepare a six-minute sequence combining animation with live dancers and special effects for a movie in the same format of “Fantasia.”

    Dali in the studio working on The Disney characters are fighting against time, the giant sundial that emerges from the great stone face of Jupiter and that determines the fate of all human novels. Dalí and Hench were creating a new animation technique, the cinematic equivalent of “paranoid critique” of Dali. Method inspired by the work of Freud on the subconscious and the inclusion of hidden and double images.

    Dalí said: “Entertainment highlights the art, its possibilities are endless.” The plot of the film was described by. Dalí as “A magical display of the problem of life in the labyrinth of time.”

    Walt Disney said it was “A simple story about a young girl in search of true love.”

    After over 3 year of research, determination and hard work, Matt Macduff managed to find everything he needed to make his project happen.

    On saturday March 19th, Matt sustained a terrible fall attempting to make his way around the Loop Of Doom.

    Built in a month at the Garden Route Trail Park in South Africa, the gigantic structure rises up to 40 ft. in the sky. The crash left him with 10 fractures in his right wrist and 3 fractures in his right ankle. The story behind his stunt is as impactful as the structure itself. A real story of determination. After spending a week in a South African hospital, Matt is now home in Ontario, working on his rehabilitation. Just as he started to walk again, we catched up with him to get his version of this incredible story.
