Hung by the Sticky Bits

A little over two weeks ago I moseyed on down to Hosier Lane in the Melbourne CBD to check out the launch of the Hung by the Sticky Bits exhibition. A friend of mine called Rebecca Wheeler is the curator of the show. The exhibition included an international cast of concept artists, animators, graphic artists and illustrators.
It is an incredible show with the contributing artists offering a fantastic mixture of styles. Two stand-outs in the exhibition for me are the French commercial artist/animator Stephane Tarelin and the Swedish senior game designer Mattias Adolfsson.
Tarelin's sketches seem uninhibited, producing spindly and expressive forms that remind me of the work of Austrian artist Egon Schiele.
In contrast the work of Mattias Adolfsson is riddled with detail, often depicting highly detailed city scapes and crazy contraptions.
Exhibition also includes the work of Mark Moget, Taco Sipma, Hobo Divine, Flask, Miss Lotion and the curator of the show, Beck Wheeler.
This is a great show and as is very much worth a look if you are in the CBD of Melbourne over the next few weeks.
Hung by the Sticky Bits is running till the 29th of September at Until Never at the second floor, three to five Hoiser Lane, Melbourne.
