Ben Frost

Ben Frost is a painter who currently lives and works in Sydney, Australia.

By subverting mainstream iconography from the advertising, entertainment and political spectrum he creates a visual and conceptual framework that is bold, confronting and often controversial.

Hugh McCarthy

Hugh McCarthy is based in Ireland and has made a name for himself as a playful organic abstractionist, creating paintings of a dense and sociable kind. His recent work contains amorphous masses and geometric areas of colour that reference product labels, 80's computer games, and advertisements.

Kathie Olivas

Kathie Olivas is an American multimedia artist who resides in Florida. Her work depicts the baby doll, stuffed toys, cartoons, creep show school- rooted in pop art, surrealism, illustration and animation. Weeble-ish animals and children populate Olivas' canvases. These overstuffed bunnies, boys and girls may have started out cute- but trussed up in muzzles and dunce caps- limbless in droopy footed pyjamas, mouths zipped or bolted shut; they are ultimately repulsive.

Kill Pixie

Kill Pixie is a prominent street artist from Sydney. His latest work, Kill Communication, is about "when communication dies, the world descends into turmoil. War, pestilence, and dysentery reign. But we can be saved from the perils of silence. A new medium of understanding is upon us. Soul to soul through eye beam radio waves - this is the language of Kill Pixie. This is the dawn of Kill Communication."

He is one of the great illustrators in the lowbrow art scene, and creates engaging paintings with a cartoon kitschy edge.

Reka is an established artist of Melbourne’s street art scene that has successfully moved into the realms of illustration and character design as well as becoming a successful exhibitor of his work, both in Melbourne and interstate. Commencing in 2002 with forays into the street art genre he transposed self-created characters basing his style around abstracted fantasy. In exploring this style of illustration, he uses symbolism and pop icons to convey messages about mans' interaction and relationship with nature.

Rone

Rone is one of Melbourne's most prolific street artists. His notorious paste-ups have been spread far and wide across high traffic areas of inner city Melbourne, often dominating the environment with their crude graphic approach. Rone chose the street as a canvas in an attempt to continually promote a marked difference of interest in an ever changing background. It is a stark rebuttal against the increase of public advertising propaganda, where little control is held by the general populous.

Ryan Heshka

Ryan Heshka is an illustrator, residing in downtown Vancouver. His paintings offer the possibility of adventure- robots battle it out with curvaceous vixens, spacemen ward off aliens and carnivorous plants threaten to devour radioactive women. The scenes in this show are both strange and strangely familiar, as if remembered from a childhood dream.

Sunny has appeared in several art books and is an active promoter of art in the lowbrow scene. She currently lives in Paris to escape consumerist America.
