necromancy by josh tavener

Necromancy is the ever charming and captivating Josh Tavener's second solo exhibition (you may remember his first, China Doll, or his collaboration with label Tale of a Tall Fellow), and it is divine.

"Josh draws inspiration from a myriad of sophisticated models, current runway fashion and editorial photography. By combining line work and dripping paints, Necromancy delves into technical experimentation and colour exploration to create a mysterious aesthetic."

I'm a big big fan of Josh's work - his mix of colour, elegant lines and practice of finishing each image with the perfect layer of magic and intrigue totally gets me every time. I super recommend you check out this new series of work for yourself - the exhibition runs until the 13th and can be found upstairs at Common Ground. Check out the facebook event page for more details, and Josh's official page to keep up to date with his stuff. Sublime!

anya brock studio show

It's wednesday night. It's cold, raining and there a general air of misery - outside, that is.

Inside, tucked away in the heart of Fremantle's Pakenham Street Art Space, local artist Anya Brock is warming the world up one canvas at a time. I've been a fan for a while - her distinct style, use of colour and beautiful subjects are what I'd one day like slathered on the walls of my future house. So I obviously could not miss a studio show. Check out some of her uber delightful work below...

My favourite piece was the chick smack bang in the middle up there, because I too like to live my life as though I'm looking through palm tree-coloured sunglasses.

For prints, visit Anya's online shop and to stay up to date with her work and shows, check out her facebook. The hip lady's also on tumblr and instagram (anyapaintface).
