Stormie Mills

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.

Mutch is a designer, illustrator and painter – all three used to produce artworks which portray a mish mash of characters, ideas and emotions. Concepts evolve from a combination of sketches, photos and experimental design, brought to life with splashes of colour using spray paint, acrylic, pens and stencils.

“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.

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.
