Using her signature blend of hyper stylised characters, hip-hop slogans and sometime callous symbolism Forsyth questions the black magic and white lies of today’s visual communication through the use of select representations of pop and religious iconography and folklore. HEX is the artist’s most comprehensive exhibition to date. Works on display will include an aerosol installation, over 300 hand drawn cards, 50 acrylic paintings on used paper bags and a range of illustrations.

Black & Blue Gallery is pleased to announce the exhibition You Can Count To Ten curated by Greg Perano and containing the works of over 100 artists in 23 well travelled sketchbooks and over 50 original pieces from contributing artists.

In January 2007 Greg Perano sent out the first of the 23 sketchbooks with only one rule  the works had to contain a piece of tape, a method that Perano used to ensure that every bit of imagination was used on every imaginable medium. A concept that harks back to and draws on the simplicity of childhood creativity.

Including international artists such Derek Henderson and Hugh Stewart exhibiting alongside works such as a hand drawn card by Billy Zane or an illustration by a young Pixie Geldof, You Can Count To Ten is as geographically diverse as it is unique.

Despite the presence of such prominent names Perano  himself a former member of the seminal Hunters & Collectors; cites the exposure to works by up and coming artists such as Ali Noble as the real highlight of the project.

You Can Count To Ten opens at Black & Blue Gallery on 21 February from 6pm-9pm and can be viewed until 9 March, Wednesdays through Sundays, 11am-6pm.

Opening Night November 8th
6pm - 10pm

Local artist Leah Fraser’s work is a visual expression to her inner world.
Her portraits focus on esoteric ideas, the spiritual and physical effects that spring from heightened emotional experiences.
These heightened states are woven in with themes of mysticism and magic. Here, reality and the subconscious merge and we encounter dream-like subjects. Leah’s portraits are never a true representation of any one person and they are better understood as a response to those around her.

Her debut show incorporates a number of metaphors throughout each artwork. Animals and nature are interchangeable with human qualities and states of being. They symbolise something closer to childhood, dreams, the dark of night and the wilderness. The very essence of what it is to feel fully alive, to feel wild. Her palette expresses emotional states.
