Esther Stewart is an artist from Melbourne who creates work that makes our shape and colour-addicted hearts sing. Working out of her home studio in Daylesford, a beautiful light-filled space that she shares with her partner and fellow artist Oscar Perry, Esther tinkers away at her brightly coloured geometric works which skip across various disciplines and mediums. She is represented by Sarah Cottier Gallery in Sydney and her works have been shown at the likes of Heide Museum of Modern Art, ACCA, Station and Craft Victoria. Oh, and she was also commissioned by Valentino for their 2015/2016 Fall...

Jatinder Singh Durhailay is a multi-disciplinary artist from the UK, who seems to embody every facet of the word and profession of ‘creative’. He has exhibited his work from United Kingdom, through to Europe, the United States and Japan. He spends the year flitting between Tokyo and his home-base London, making, sharing and showing his art and music wherever he may be.

We think so.

CORIN’s background is in classical piano, a place...

Or the ibis that you see necking around the city, stealing left overs and being general trash babies? Mechelle takes these tragi-comic, somewhat sad moments of everyday life and elevates, even glorifies them, with her ceramic practice.

Mechelle’s works have been shown at the likes of the National Gallery of Australia, Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre and the Museum of...

Do you have a favourite paperweight? Is it one of those classic glass prisms from the 90’s, or maybe a special rock? Well, when was the last time you even used a paperweight? Oh, you don’t actually use paper anymore? These are some of the heavy questions we asked each other when we found out about The Paperweight Show, the inaugural show launching brand new gallery Fisher Parrish into our orbits.

Fisher Parrish is a space that’s just opened up in Bushwick, Brooklyn and they’ve certainly made a weighty impression with this first group show. The exhibition features...
