The Art of Banksy: Without Limits has recently opened in Brisbane. I purchased my ticket as soon as they went on sale because, like so many people, I enjoy Banksy's works and their broader political messages. Over the past week or so, I have been glued to the articles emerging speaking to the exhibition's controversy. … Continue reading The Art of Banksy: Without Limits
In 2020 I visited the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) to see an exhibition titled Water. GOMA's new exhibition, Air, is the next element in the series. Similar to Water, everything on display links back to an overriding theme in some way, shape or form. Water was definitely the more interactive of the two.

On Saturday, I visited the Van Gogh Alive immersive experience here in Brisbane. Although not strictly an art gallery, I decided it was worth a review considering its role as a digital art experience that focuses on immersion rather than displaying 'authentic' artworks. What I mean by this, is you won't see an original Van … Continue reading Van Gogh Alive

The Great Art Debate was a virtual event that saw classical art and contemporary art go head-to-head to win the hearts and minds of the audience. A huge … Continue reading Gallery of Modern Art: Great Art Debate
Now that Brisbane is back in lockdown, I have been searching for something to keep my mind occupied that isn't just watching copious amounts of Netflix and working from home. A lovely friend sent me an Instagram message recently alerting me to The Untitled Drawing Club, run by Alexis Winter. As soon as I clicked … Continue reading The Untitled Drawing Club
