Nate Holmes Trapnell (aka. The Southpaw) is a talented Melbourne Illustrator & Co-currator of new Melbourne Gallery ‘Gorker’. One week after the succesful opening of the gallery’s group show, Nate has announced his debut solo-show ‘The Fine Line’.  It will feature some well-wicked large scale illustrations created with a trusty fineliner pen! Nate takes his comic book, graffiti & hot rod influences chews them up and spits them out with his own twist. Put this one in your diary kids!

Opening Night:

Gorker Gallery
Corner of Gorr & Kerr St Fitzroy

Show runs:
3 - 23 July with wine tasting every wednesday from 6-7pm.

If it can be argued that art is a reflection of life, why then is visual art so often removed from the public; separated from people by ornate frames, white walls and bored security guards? Helbourne is “an exploded” exhibition that breaks down the walls of the gallery; placing art in the spaces that people frequent in their daily lives.

Driven by a character narrative, Helbourne is a text and image exhibition that tells the story of five people who are thrust together by the unseen currents of coincidence over one winter evening. The story is set within select bars, cafés and retail stores of Melbourne’s CBD and told through site-specific, screen-printed artworks and short stories.

Opening night:

Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea is an off-beat, cabaret-style piece currently showing at the Opera House. An entertaining performance blending genres, periods and mediums to titillate the eager audience, the play is the brainchild of new, UK performance group 1927 Cabaret which was born of the creative collaborations between designer/film-maker Paul Bill Barritt and writer, Suzanne Andrade.

The debate surrounding graffiti has been reignited in Melbourne today with the city’s laneway art being considered for heritage protection.

Australia’s National Trust and Heritage Victoria are both supporting a move to protect the city’s graffiti, but some local council groups say this would just give a green light to vandals.
