Venue: Suburban Table, 622 Stirling Highway Mosman Park 6011.

Description: Amok Island (born Amsterdam, 1983) is a self-taught
self-employed artist/designer living in Perth, Western Australia. 

On land you can find his super sized marine creatures painted on public
walls. If you search below sea level, you could come across one of his large
concrete letter sculptures, slowly being covered by sea life.
 
From his studio in Inglewood, Amok Island paints large colourful canvases of
sea creatures and coastal aerial views. His hand made screenprints are from
start till finish produced at his studio, exposing the screens using the
light of the sun.

After growing up and more than a decade of painting walls in the heart of
Amsterdam, his love for everything tropical has led him travelling through
Asia, ending up in Western Australia in 2009. Amok Island is passionate
about underwater photography, which often provides the reference to his
work.

JUDY ROGERS @ Melody Smith Gallery

Event Title: Still.
Participating Artists: JUDY ROGERS.

Venue: Melody Smith Gallery, 69 Oats St Carlisle.

Description: As suggested by the title of the exhibition 'Still', this body
of work is a quiet and contemplative reflection on the less significant and
often overlooked moments present in everyday life. Judy Rogers is an artist
who is caught up in the details. Her disarming portraits of family and
friends and depictions of overlooked or seemingly mundane domestic subjects
are rendered with a sensitivity and stillness which seems to slow time.
Rogers' intimate figurative works, informed by classical traditions, are
imbued with an honesty and warmth rarely evident in contemporary figurative
painting.

Dates: 3 Aug 2013 to 24 Aug 2013.
Opening Times: Tues- Fri 12- 5pm.
