Artists WA – showcasing West Australian artists

Creepy lives in Perth, Western Australia although he grew up sharing his time between the Solomon islands, Perth, Melbourne and Holland.

Being an early comic book fan influenced creepy’s painting and illustration style quite obviously and helped shape his unique style today. Creepy’s work is inspired by the bizarre people he sees on the streets, humorous observations of life and what it means to exist.

As an artist Holly Grace uses glass as an invisible skin to explore form and decoration, creating a body of artwork that explores our historical and ongoing fascination with nature. Holly is particularly interested in the way early industrial designers assimilated patterns from nature to design and decorate mass-produced objects. It is this interaction and decorative process Holly would like to explore. Drawing from both nature and its industrial interpretation as a source of form and decoration to create a variety of hybrid objects, a synthesis of man and nature.

Using historical techniques to create texture on glass, replicating patterns found in nature in manufactured decorative glass. Through sandblasting, engraving and glue-chipping the outer and inner surfaces of the forms, highlighting the transparent qualities of the glass.

Only first getting serious about photography in 2004 while living in Auckland, Brendan soon quickly developed from photographing cliche landmark shots from around New Zealand to finding a deep interest in street photography and attempting to tell a human story, often with humour, through his work.
