Renae is at her happiest with a paintbrush in hand. She originally studied Graphic Design and is currently working in the media. Her love for art has been overwhelming! Recently she has been focusing on painting and set up a studio so she can spend more time devoted to her passion. Renae’s works have been shown at a number of galleries throughout Perth and notably at the 2006 Art for Arttitude Exhibition at the Perth Convention Centre.

Although painting primarily in oils for the time being, she says she will return to her roots of graphics and mixed media soon. “This is just the beginning and I am enjoying everyday.”

Gavin Feilding is a designer and artist based in Perth. His work is influenced by the millions of messages and absurd amounts of information we are exposed to in our society. In both his design and art Feilding tries to communicate the contradictions and the conscious dishonesty of the mainstream media. “I find it disturbing that many of the people I know and care for don’t think twice about what the read in the paper or see on television. They don’t question how it is influencing the way they think and act in their day to day lives.” He finds the way we are exposed to the same messages over and over again an insult to the intelligence of people as individuals and also as groups. “I can’t remember the last time I watched the news, if it can be called that, without getting angry or pointing out some form of fraudulent information or dishonest reporting.”

Feilding is currently working on his first solo exhibition entitled TV Stole My Virginity. It focus’s on capturing the emotion and aesthetic of youths, those of us who are exposed to the majority of the messages Feilding’s work explores.

Since launching his career as an proscribed visual artist in 1984, Mills has carved a distinctive niche for his work that has seen him showcased internationally to critical acclaim. His work has crossed many boundaries with representation in exhibitions in London, Birmingham , Berlin, Los Angeles, Melbourne and Perth.

His solo exhibitions held in Perth in 1999 and 2003 were hugely successful with both shows selling out on opening night and resulting in numerous private commissions. In 2002 he achieved a Commendation Award in the highly competitive “City of Perth Invitational Art Award” and in May 2005 was invited to London as a guest speak at the London Institute of Contemporary Arts to launch the Thames & Hudson publication “Graffiti World”. Late in 2006 he will present works in Tokyo and Taipei before returning to his third solo show in Perth in May 2007 followed by another in Melbourne in July of the same year.

He has been commissioned to create works in both Los Angles and London and in 2002 was invited to create large scale murals across Greece in preparation for the Olympics.

Mills’ work is a deeply personal narrative about emotions captured in the layers of his works, depictions from intense observations of the texture of life to engage and challenge the viewer to explore beyond the surface to find real beauty amidst the decay.

“Robots are super cool.”, says Deathbot when asked why that’s about the only thing ever drawn by this middle aged Perth artist. “so’s booze”, he adds, explaining why when you check out any Deathbot shit, said robots are, were or about to be drunk.
“what else are they gonna do? It’s only gonna take ‘em about an hour a day to get all their work done. Then what? The obviously don’t want to hang around with jerk humans, so they’ll just get pissed.”
“What the hell are you talking about?” I demand.
“the future, that’s what.” The future indeed.

Anyway, the pictures are real nice. If idiot industrial designers don’t rip Deathbot off when designing the first wave of mechanical men, then God help us all. We’ll probably end up with some stupid mannequin looking monstrosity. Or worse. Obviously I’m influenced by Deathbot’s pictures, and thus can’t really picture what else robot’s could look like.

cheers

Whatever, just look at the pictures. If you like them head over to www.studiorobot.com.au for more sweet robot action, somewhere on the bottom right of the page I think.

Recently acknowledge by Joy Legge (Art Bank) in Insite Magazine as an artist to collect for under $5000, Spencer has had several group exhibitions both in Western Australia and interstate, as well as a sellout solo exhibition.

Spencer’s attack of the canvas with vibrant and dramatic colour, rhythm, pattern and symbol, is stimulated from a modern industrial world. His paintings are emotionally charged as he abandons artistic control to push, experiment and express. With these elements combined, we discover a composition that both dignifies his imagination and the subject he chooses to explore.

Upcoming solo exhibition at Code Red Art Gallery, Friday the 18th of August 2006

“Finding Emily” 2006, Mixed media on canvas, 250 x 180cm

“Driving To Wanaka” 2005, Mixed media on canvas, 250 x 150cm

“A Delight To Have” 2005, Mixed media on canvas, 180 x 128cm

“3 weeks in Sydney” 2005, Mixed media on canvas, 150 x 90cm

Gail Devine is a ‘big drawer’ who jumps around all over the place. She likes to draw on big expanses of paper, then combine drawing over painting and painting over printmaking.

Her work is widely recognised in Australia and overseas for her large calligraphic drawing effects on paper and for her mark making on drop canvas.

She has won several awards for drawing and painting and exhibited in Australia, New Zealand, England and in South America.

She works from a studio in Woodbridge, Perth.

Currently she is working towards two solo exhibitions, one in Manila and one in Sydney this year.

Amsterdam on Yellow (Acrylic on canvas. 45cm deep x 45cm wide)

The most obvious and notable common denominator of Caroline Christies’ paintings is the repeated use of the circle. Circles float, spin, cluster, suspend and drop with in and out of the canvases - sometimes one lone shape and sometimes numerous forms.

The organic nature of circles and their distinct presence around us leads the audience to inquire what this timeless symbol means in the context of these painterly compositions. The artist’s technique appears loose and free; comprising of multiple layering of pigments, paints and stains. Utilizing mixed media and the varying reactions these substances have on each other, the artist parodies the spontaneous complexities of Life. The response these varying moments have on the viewer is provocative and subjective.

English born Sally Smith creates illuminative works which combine her studies of studio ceramics, fine art and textile making. Sally’s art is a celebration, is an exploration, of life through the imaginative force of vibrant colour, texture and form, placed in seemingly random configurations until closer inspection reveals a subterranean poetry of sensual cohesion.

Sally’s work is, thus a visual metaphor of her relationship to the world. She expresses through her painting that exact fusion of spontaneity and purpose that she sees reflected in the beauty of nature and in the finest moments of cultural achievement.

Kyle 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 kyle’s painting and illustration style quite obviously and helped shape his unique style today. Kyle’s work is inspired by the bizarre people he sees on the streets, humorous observations of life and what it means to exist.

Matt (who just turned 30) is fairly new to the computer game, most of Matt’s art starts off with a pen or pencil, currently he’s using all types of mediums including oils, inks, water colours and photo montage. Most of Matt’s art ends up in Photoshop to some extent. Matt is looking to get into more of the illustration side but loves large messy stuff.

Scott slapped his first bit of paint on a canvas only a few years, if anything as a means of keeping sane after a days work.  Since then things have developed to a mixed media style today incorporating acrylic paint with found objects and images from modern culture and sub cultures.

Many pieces reflect his strong love of music and street art, but he has also shown development into other moods and styles.

P.S. He is colour blind.
