Hand-embroidered illustrations by Laura McKellar. New work by Laura will be included in the Disband exhibition, opening this week in Sydney.I'm sure everyone knows about this already after much coverage in print and in blogland, but I promised I would share so here it is....!
After the great success of their group art show Once Upon last year, Angela D'Alton and Renee Anne (remember?) of Sydney-based online store and crafty community Leeloo, are staging another exhibition which opens this week! Entitled DisBand, the show includes work by many talented local artists and illustrators including Kelly Smith, Ben Zen, and Laura McKellar. Renee and Angela have staged the exhibition in a unique way this time around, transforming the space at aMBUSH gallery it into a kind of stylised living space with furniture, lamps and other details. Visitors are invited to view the artworks within the confines of this fictional loungeroom...!? Coolness.
The show opens this Thursday May 27th at aMBUSH gallery in Sydney (opening is from 6pm to 9pm). It will travel to Melbourne in August, showing at No Vacancy Gallery from Tuesday August 24th to Saturday August 28th.
All works are for sale, and Leeloo will also hold a little pop-up shop at the Sydney event from Friday to Sunday, showcasing locally designed jewellery, clothes, accessories and general crafty-ness for the so inclined :)
