London Based artist, Kirsten Engvig has sent us some new art she is working on. Kirsten we dig it!

Today, distant friend of Teeluxe Art Park, Californian based Amber B, has sent us couple of copies of her new zine, created as part of her latest solo show ‘SummerWinter’ recently held in Los Angeles. It’s a great zine and we want to give 2 copies to the first people to email us. Contact us here if you would like a copy of this signed, limited edition (200 copies) zine!

Good friend of Teeluxe, Stefan Marx is in a group show at the Monster Children Gallery (Sydney) with the amazing Marcus Oakley and French.

Opens Thursday , 6pm 19 August 2010.

About the Show: Three similarly different drawing styles meet in Draw with French, Stefan Marx and Marcus Oakley at Monster Children Gallery. Collectively, their work conjures earlier established themes and imagery mined from a myriad of sources. Interestingly, musical tastes come through in each of the artists work. Each has their own specific way of presenting this in their work. Whether it’s a portrait of a folk musician, a scrawled lyric from a favourite song, or a goat’s head.

If its raining its off…

Monster Children Gallery, Thursday 22 July, 6pm. More info here.

Self-taught Sydney artist, Trent Whitehead will present a new body of work at Monster Children Gallery. With this series, Whitehead attempts to represent a disparate and essentially unusual view of past and future.

Just like a dream is the mere sorting and cataloguing of a day’s events by our subconscious, Whitehead’s paintings on wooden panels are subtly filled with experiences of his own existence. The wondrous and often humorous paintings make up one half of the exhibition. The other half consists of his distinctive masks, which have become a significant component of his artist practice. The masks, lending themselves to the life-giving process of construction, are three dimensional embodiments of the delinquents from his paintings. Pieced together from geometric shapes and painted with the same Memphis-like colour palette and omnipresent patterning as the paintings, a certain intensity and vitality is introduced.
