We had a wonderful opening on Wednesday. For those who joined us (and there where many!) you would know we were delighted by The Portraits by Demola, his stunning and unique portraits are a recreation of an ancient art form. The Portraits are a collection of captured faces in striking and sexy moments. Demola (also known as Dee) is a talented photographer who obviously has an understanding of people and image making. The other highlights of the night were some crisp sauvignon blanc and warming cab sav and pizza from The Corner to compliment the art viewing. The night was what I would call a huge success! We have another opening just around the corner, because too many parties are never enough. Be here on Wed 18^th August for a group show of illustrious illustration by St. Collective. BBC 

This exhibition is a collection of simple portraits by British photographer Demola. He prefers shooting in natural light and letting nature dictate the direction of each shoot. The subjects range from models, through to your average Joe or not so average Joe. He’s inspired by beauty in all it’s permutations weather classic or totally abstract. Opening – 6pm Wed 29^th July

St. Collective

Have you ever thought about a bird getting stuck in your throat? Or about Prince Charming and Prince Eric running away to live happily ever after? Or are you worried that Lepricorns really exist? Well this is the exhibition for you! Somedays Gallery is proud to present ‘St.Collective’ a group show of fairytales, pop art and graffiti. A wonderfully unique and quirky range of illustrations will be on display at Somedays Gallery from next Wednesday. This is an eclectic mix of the handmade and computer assisted – digital media, inks, watercolours, texta and a good dose of humour in the first group exhibition of three stunning Sydney artists.

As always we will be having a giant fabulous opening night party to celebrate. Come along for a beverage or three with a good dose of art to top it all off. St Collective featuring Mark Bärwald, Alex Lehours and Harrison “El Herlo” Earl opens Wednesday 19th August 6pm. You’d be crazy to miss it.

Mark Bärwald

Mark studied visual communication and fashion design and is currently a sportswear designer and product developer. Mark is influenced by the bold, flat colour and humour of pop art and cartoons. For this series he’s looked at some of his favourite classic stories to reflect his own experience. “I’m interested in the contradiction of cartoons as lighthearted and entertaining, that at the same time have an incredibly powerful influence on us from a young age”.

Alex Lehours

Alex’s sense of humour is present in almost every piece. With a strong background in illustration, his process involves a combination of hand-rendering and digital editing. Alex finds most of his inspiration from both the surfing and skate cultures and incorporates urban imagery with his interest in the visual art forms found in the Renaissance Movement. Alex holds a degree in Visual Arts & Design from the Australian Catholic University, Sydney. He is currently a graphic artist for a event company.

Harrison “El Herlo” Earl

El Herlo is a “handmade purist”. He says “I love my art. It’s the one thing I have these days that can’t be controlled by technology”. He is inspired by the street, urban art, cartoons and tattoo culture. As well as a budding artist, Harrison is also an accomplished dancer and most recently performed on stage with the Veronicas in Australia.
