Vagabonds boneyard by SMC3

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.

Graffiti Artist ‘PHIBS’ to do wall in Leichhardt

In the lead up to his solo exhibition of mixed media artworks at Oh Really Gallery on the 23rd to 29th April 2009, Australian graffiti artist Phibs, will paint a wall in Leichhardt.

Oh Really Gallery have partnered up with Look Print, a large scale printing business in Leichhardt, who became instant patrons by erecting a 6m by 3m billboard on the side of their building for Oh Really Gallery artists to utilise.

The ongoing partnership has been dubbed ‘Project Ugly’ by Oh Really Gallery Director, Dan O’Toole. “An old lady walked past the wall which had a new artwork going up and she said ‘that’s ugly’. The name stuck.”

‘When Phibs showed interest in exhibiting in Sydney, we were eager to have him do the Project Ugly Wall.’ Says Dan O’Toole. Phibs is a graphic designer originally from Sydney, who now works full time as an artist in Melbourne. His recognisable graffiti style has a tribal feel with an intricate exploration of bold characters and patterning. Phibs is a traditional graffiti artist who has been commissioned by corporations to do large signs and murals.

Phibs just got back from a trip to India. He was there to paint the biggest wall he has ever painted for something called ‘techfest’.
