SMC3 is experimenting with different colours and more abstract images and installation. Winged creatures, tattooed monsters and classic cartoon characters, holding their weapon of choice or his trademark bottle of poison…

This is SMC3’s first solo show since 2006. Since then, he has participated in over 2 dozen group shows in Sydney and Melbourne. SMC3 is also experimenting with the idea of repetition seen in the pop art movement, but now has become an important part of the identity of street art. The same characters repeated in the streets all over the city. Same marks, to help identify the author of those images, repeat, loop.

If you are looking for something to do this weekend, a couple of art exhibitions are beginning in inner Sydney showcasing some of the works from the very best of Sydney’s young artists. Blank Space Gallery presents ‘Hallelujah’ – a group show featuring a selection of Australian artists including Simon Degroot, Beastman, Luke Taaffe, Ben Frost, Rico, Bridge, Creon, Simon Lovelace, Anthony Lister, Arthur Sikiotis, Smitten by Stephanie and more. The exhibition opens this Thursday, 18th December from 6pm to 9pm at Blank Space Gallery, 374 Crown Street, Surry Hills and continues until the end of December.

‘Cardboard City’ is an exhibition of original artworks on cardboard by Ears, Kwan, Max Berry and Syke. These 4 artists are well known for their art busking on King Street in Newtown over the last year or two. The exhibition opens this Thursday, 18th December from 6pm to 9pm at Oh Really Gallery , 55 Enmore Road, Newtown. All artworks are $20 each on the night, and are selling straight off the walls.

Hardware Gallery has over ten years experience in exhibiting and dealing in Australian contemporary art. In 2006 the gallery relocated to Enmore in Sydney’s inner west. In August 2008 Hardware Gallery expanded it’s current premises and doubled its exhibition space. The expanded space includes a shop-front gallery and retail section where paintings, drawings and prints from our extensive stockroom are on permanent display.

As part of our recent expansion, Hardware Gallery is seeking expressions of interest for exhibitions from artists and curators for our 2009 and 2010 exhibition program. If you are interested to find out more, please contact us by email – we will be sending out proposal packages to everyone later this year.

2009 will see our most impressive line up ever, which will include a national art prize, collaborations with other galleries and of course, our 10th birthday. And as usual we will be staging some of the most dynamic and interactive group shows ever. So why not be a part of all the fun, get in touch with us and register your interest in showing at Hardware Gallery.
