25.01.2022 The magical creative space that is @gloworm_studios are reopening their doors for children's classes as of next week, and small adult classes from September. For adults, you'll be able to enrol in five week drawing intensive courses and painting courses to really develop a visual language and work on technique. We can't wait! #creative #classes #painting #drawing #illustration #excited #melbourne

24.01.2022 Have you been developing some incredible drawings over the isolation period?

24.01.2022 Wow! @drasko17 has been selected by UK author @tristan_manco to feature in his new book The Stencil Graffiti Handbook, alongside inspiring artists both local and from around the world and published by Thames and Hudson. We've been working with Drasko to create some amazing pavement stencils in the popular town of Meeniyan. So well deserved, congrats @drasko17! "Drasko Boljevic (AKA Drasko) is famed for his 3D optical-illusion stencils in the laneways. With clever use of persp...ective, they suggest portals into possible worlds inhabited by a playful mix of technology and figures that seem to be randomly teleported from different video games. The resulting images appear on the urban landscape like mirages, disrupting an otherwise ordinary scene, Tristan Manco, The Stencil Graffiti Handbook, published by Thames and Hudson in Australia, and also published in the UK, US, Canada, Germany (Stencil Grafitti Das Handbuch) and soon to be released in France. #MelbourneStreetArt #MelbourneGraffitiArt #TheStencilGraffitiHandbook #Drasko17 #MelbourneArt #VisualPoetry #NewBook #TristanManco @thamesandhudsonau @tristan_manco @thamesandhudson

23.01.2022 Today we are highlighting the work of Melbourne based contemporary surrealist painter Lia Vassiliadis (@table_water_ ). Although Lia is still quite young, her visual language is strong and colour palette refined. Lia is scheduled to stage a major solo exhibition at Marios, now to be held later in the year once #covid19 restrictions have eased. In the meantime, she is finding a myriad of ways to stay creative during this time. We look forward to presenting her latest works when we can! #artist #artwork #painting #surrealism #colour #narrative #upcoming #exhibition #solo #melbourne

23.01.2022 Do you have an art wish list...? An artist who has been on ours for quite a while (and still wishing!) is the talented @fabriziobiviano, who's latest exhibition 'Positive Aspects of Negative Thinking' is entering its last week of showing at @arthousegallery. We love all of it! The catalogue can be viewed via the gallery website. #artwork #wishlist #painting #artist #exhibition #solo #beautiful #stilllife #sydney

21.01.2022 This Saturday! There are a few spots left in Melanie's Line Drawing: Botanicals class, held through @cae_melbourne. And it's a class with a twist, as it will be delivered live via Zoom! For 2.5 hours this Saturday and next Saturday, join her as students work through drawing basics and create some beautiful botanical drawings. Let us know if you'd like us to DM you the link, otherwise feel free to search for the course via the CAE website. We can't wait! #studio #drawing #classes #art #artists #learn #tutor #workonpaper #graphite #joinme #botanical

21.01.2022 Some artists are using this time to make new work for the future, and some artists are making works that act as a capsule or monument to this time. Milan based artist @__smoe__ has launched a fundraising campaign so that he can paint this giant homage to the front line workers who risked their own lives during Italy's fight with #covid19. Head on over to his profile to find out more, but we can't wait to see him achieve his target and create this mural. It will be an emotional tribute. #artist #artwork #painting #mural #crowdfunding #italy #streetart #publicart

21.01.2022 The works of master colourist Ken Smith blow our minds. Their technical execution, exquisite colour palette and general mood leaves us dreaming of escaping to the seaside. Can you believe that these pieces are acrylic on paper...? Smith's latest exhibition 'Recent Works,' opens at @flinderslanegallery on the 11 August. Congratulations Ken! Featured: Beach 420, 2020, acrylic on paper, 52 x 94cm; Beach 220, 2020, acrylic on paper, 52 x 92cm and Study for Beach 220 (detail) 2019, acrylic on paper, 39 x 31cm. #realism #painting #exhibition #seaside #artist #acryliconpaper #solo #colour #pastel

21.01.2022 It's not a huge surprise that with Sydney's Carriageworks entering voluntary administration last week, that @sydneycontemporary would be forced to analyse the feasibility of a 2020 Fair. As such, this iteration has been cancelled 'due to uncertainty surrounding the the #covid19 pandemic.' And so, the contemporary art fair will re-emerge in 2021, much to the despair of the artists who had been aiming to exhibit in September. However, one can pass by Carriageworks and still admire @rekorennie's incredible illuminated text work on Gadigal Land, that acts as a reminder of blood spilled due to the arrival of Captain Cook 250 years ago. We must always remember. #artwork #artists #artfair #cancelled #disappointed #contemporary #exhibition #commissioned #illuminated #rememberme #carriageworks

19.01.2022 How dreamy are these to start the morning..? These soft and luminous pastel works on paper have been created by @moniquemorterartist, and form part of her latest solo exhibition at @jacobhoernergalleries. The exhibition will be launched virtually at 4pm today, so keep an eye on the gallery's Instagram page to view the full suite of works. Congratulations Monique! 'Elysian Slumber.' #artist #artwork #pastel #workonpaper #colour #landscape #exhibition #melbourne #virtual #online #solo #contemporary #inspired

19.01.2022 A few of you may already know that we're huge fans of talented Melbourne based painter and musician @lucyroleff. She's been busy in the studio creating a new body of work titled 'Devotions,' showing through TDF Collect, hosted by @thedesignfiles. The show opens July 18th, but pre-sales open tomorrow the 7th! Head over to Lucy's profile to join her mailing list, and be the first to see these exquisite works. They won't last long... Congrats Lucy. x #painting #oilpainting #stilllife #studio #exhibition #artist #collect #artwork #solo #excited

17.01.2022 It's day 1 of 42 of Stage 4 and Stage 3 lockdown for the state of Victoria. It's not good. It's necessary, so that we can get on top of #covid19 and save lives, but it's not good... So, in order to focus on the finer things, here is brilliantly beautiful painting by the talented @jodavenport_art. Because art helps us to feel alive, to question, to explore, and to escape... #oilpainting #artist #artwork #colour #landscape #linen #abstract #movement #escape #painting #artist #thankful Jo is represented by @arthousegallery and @flinderslanegallery.

16.01.2022 How incredible are these! For those who love both realism and escapism, these beautiful gouache on paper works by award-winning Brisbane based painter @naomiwhiteartist are the perfect antidote to iso anxiety, and in adding some extra credibility to your art collection. Sized at 14x14cm, we are actually finding it difficult to choose a favourite! Contact Naomi White directly to find out more. We love them. #artist #artwork #realism #gouache #workonpaper #isolation #landscape #collecting #inspired

16.01.2022 It is National Reconciliation Week, and we acknowledge that we work on the beautiful lands of the Gunaikurnai, Boon Warrung and Wurundjeri people. We pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging, and pay respect to the rich cultural heritage of these people. Although not an artist from where we work, Murdie Nampijinpa Morris is one of our favourite indigenous artists. Working out of the @warlu_art centre in Yuendumu, NT, her Two Dogs Dreaming paintings are exquisite. May we always have the pleasure to live and be inspired by artists like her. #reconciliation #acknowledge #respect #australia #indigenouswomen #art #creativity #dreaming #blacklivesmatter #nrw2020 #aboriginal #proud

16.01.2022 It's been a while between posts, but we've been BUSY! We've also been taking stock, which has been necessary during Victoria's lockdowns. But, we're excited to regain momentum and shake off the dust. To start things off, let us first appreciate this incredible draftsmanship, by the talented @nicplowman. He has an exhibition coming up at @jamesmakingallery in November. Can't wait to see the body of work! #artwork #drawing #protea #colour #pencil #artist #exhibition #excited #inspired

16.01.2022 Although globally isolation has been really tough, some pretty amazing things have been happening as restrictions ease. Including this incredible, private abstract mural commission that @__smoe__ is undertaking in Italy. The colour and depth to this is unreal! Can't wait to see it finished. #mural #artwork #painting #abstract #colour #interior #wallart #depth #artist #workinprogress #commission @ Milan, Italy

16.01.2022 Funding announced! @auscouncilarts have announced a new funding round for individuals and groups. This program funds a range of activities that deliver benefits to the arts sector and wider public, including national and international audiences. Grants are available from $10,000 to $50,000. Supported activities must last no longer than two years from the proposed start date. Please note: Your project must take into account the latest advice regarding COVID-19. Applications close 1 September. If you need assistance putting together your application, then we can help. We love grant writing! #artists #funding #support #art #artwork #projects #apply #industry #covid19

16.01.2022 We love that during this time people are still making, collecting and sharing art. Stockroom Gallery are holding a fun competition that if collectors post a photo of their artwork acquisitions and use the appropriate tags, they could win $150 towards their next art purchase. Here is one of ours on display, a little @sarahrandallartist in a prominent sideboard arrangement. #stockroompurchase @thestockroomgallery @thestockroom_au #artwork #stillife #painting #composition #collection #acquisition #art #support #galleries #localartist #happy

16.01.2022 It's time to ready those artworks made during isolation, and take the plunge and enter them into an art prize. There are quite a few closing soon, including the Jacaranda Drawing Prize and the National Works on Paper Prize, so let us know know if you'd like assistance with writing an artist statement, getting a CV together or writing an artwork summary. We can help! #art #artist #apply #prizes #drawing #painting #support #artwork #isolation #dontmissout

15.01.2022 The Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair is on now! With 60 art centres participating from around Australia, the breadth of painting, weaving and sculpture is remarkable. And, although we're super jealous that we can't visit in person, the Fair has gone digital - so you can have entire art centre access and public program access at home. Thank you @darwinartfair! #artwork #aboriginal #exhibition #online #beautiful #painting #sculpture #colour

15.01.2022 Following the path taken by @artbasel and @aucklandartfair, although Melbourne Art Fair has been postponed to February 2021 they will be hosting online viewing rooms from the 3-7th June. This provides an opportunity for galleries to showcase artists' work who were set to exhibit in the 2020 Fair. Galleries such as @annaschwartzgallery @sullivanstrumpf @jamesmakingallery @flinderslanegallery and @sophiegannongallery are participating, so sign up via the @melbourneartfair website and get swooning over some amazing art. Artwork featured: Kate Tucker, 'Combiner,' 2020, of @dainesinger. #artwork #artfair #artists #showcase #virtual #viewingrooms #galleries #melbourne #exhibition #inspired #industry

13.01.2022 Speaking of exhibition applications...

13.01.2022 'Views from the West' opens tomorrow, and is an exhibition that showcases the work of two South Western Victorian artists Kathryn Ryan and Harley Manifold. Both artists have developed a reputation for creating beautiful work in prolific ways that documents their surrounds, and this coming together of their practices will make for an incredible show.

09.01.2022 We agree with @troyemery's comment on this piece of his: 'on the eve of another Melbourne lockdown...' Yes, even the best laid plans can go awry. Although this next lock down puts a stop to many renewed plans, hopefully after six weeks we will be in a better place as a city and a state. Look after each other and yourselves. #art #creative #isolation #lockdown #hopeful #sculpture

09.01.2022 As we come to the end of this Thursday, our first day in Melbourne of being officially masked, let us admire the cuteness and solidarity of this little galah, by the clever @taisnaith. We are all in this together after all. #illustration #artwork #storytelling #mask #galah #collage #inspired #isolation #melbourne

08.01.2022 It's been a while between posts, and we do apologise. After taking some time to get through the grief and practicalities that come with losing someone dear, we are now back and working - and continuing to work through this strange Covid-19 landscape. There are also some crazy exciting things happening, so please welcome us back into your feed! We missed you too. #artseleven #hiatus #wereallinthistogether #artists #support #studio #management #lichtenstein #sorry

08.01.2022 We have been so excited working with street artist and sculptor @drasko17, in securing a commission in the popular Gippsland town of Meeniyan. With funding from the Meeniyan Traders and Tourism Association and the local council, Drasko will create some detailed footpath artworks that will inspire locals and tourists alike. We can't wait to see them finished now! #artist #artwork #commission #streetart #publicart #tourism #design #stencils #gippsland #excited

07.01.2022 Aren't these works divine...!? The talented @melgrisa's solo exhibition 'Steal My Sunshine' opened at @outregallery on Smith St, Collingwood last night. It's showing until the 8th July - can't wait to see these beauties in person! #artwork #artist #solo #colour #exhibition #bright #painting #melbourne

06.01.2022 It's not every day that you get to hang a Lichtenstein screen print, a Picasso lithograph and some lithographs by Francis Bacon! We hung some works by a collector who has worked in the museum art history realm, and here he is selling off some of his collection. It's up at Marios for six weeks, and it's amazing just seeing some of these in the flesh! Our first install too since March. Felt good to be on the tools. #installation #exhibition #curated #collection #artwork #rare #museum #art #hanging #happy

05.01.2022 Arts Eleven Director Melanie Caple completed this mural in August - donning a mask and wielding brushes to create this large scale botanical piece on a wall in regional Victoria. We are all so lucky to be able to think creatively, but looking forward to having some proper momentum back soon. #mural #artwork #botanical #banksia #monochrome #regional @forageandgrind #publicart #artist

05.01.2022 We were SO excited when we were able to line up an exhibition with the talented @lily_parvati in 2020. We'd planned to stage the exhibition at Marios in July, but at the moment due to #covid_19 it's all a little up in the air. But! Check out her instagram and admire these stunning works from afar, and let us know if you'd like to receive an artwork preview prior to her exhibition once we get the green light to start hanging. Inspired by her Balinese heritage and the world around her, we could look at these for days... #artwork #local #artist #digitalillustration #botanical #colour #swoon #exhibition #upcoming #melbourne #excited #artseleven

05.01.2022 One of the things that was in full swing before being shut down by #covid_19 was a large mural, that was designed and was to be painted in collaboration with a group of seven women from Foster Secondary College in South Gippsland. Facilitated by a grant from VicHealth, Melanie had just started mocking up the wall before we weren't allowed to be on site. Can't wait for this to be finished though! Documenting flora from the town and surrounds. #artwork #mural #publicart #collaboration #botanical #colour #eucalyptus #excited #students #women #project #southgippsland

05.01.2022 How wonderful are these..? Brisbane based artist @naomiwhiteartist has just completed her residency at @tweedregionalgallery, and these were created during that time - incredible gouache on paper works that can be popped in the post. Head over to her website to find out more, they start at $160 and are so covetable! #artwork #gouache #workonpaper #residency #artist #landscape #collectable #inspired

04.01.2022 We have spoken to many artists and arts administrators over the last few weeks, and one thing that has dominated the conversation has been, 'we are just so lucky that we're creative, and can continue to think creatively.' We're looking forward to seeing everyone's projects over the next little while, but it's ok to not be creative too - especially as we get used to a new normal. But remember, even a pastel coloured circle can make a difference. #painting #pastel #circle #mural #colour #simple #ideas #creativity #release #artwork

04.01.2022 100 days after the Labor government detailed the impact of #covid19 on the arts sector and urged for there to be a support package, the Morrison government will unveil a $250m support package for Australias arts and cultural sectors, including $90m in government-backed concessional loans to fund new productions. Administered with help from @screenaustralia and @auscouncilarts, not all artists and orgs will be able to access this funding - but it's recognition, and it's a start. We can't wait to get back to a pre-Covid momentum, and we're sure you are too. #arts #industry #support #artists #performance #momentum #funding #acknowledgment

04.01.2022 There have been a few exciting projects that we've had to put on hold due to #covid19, but boy are we looking forward to getting these projects off the ground again soon! Mural progress - Foster Showgrounds. #painting #artist #publicart #botanical #colour #projects #commission #excited

02.01.2022 How gorgeous are these! Talented Melbourne based painter and printmaker @clarebwhitney is scheduled for a Marios exhibition in March 2021 (it was rescheduled due to #covid19) but in the meantime has produced a suite of colourful and accessible limited edition archival prints. They are stunning! Head over to her profile and website to snap on up. We all need a bit of colour in the times. #artwork #acquire #limitededition #colour #botanical #prints #artist #beautiful

02.01.2022 It's a new week! And with the easing of a few restrictions, some optimism is being felt that soon art will be able to be hung and admired in person on a gallery wall. A few spaces have already reopened their applications for future exhibitions, and if you've been busy over this time painting and making, then why not pull an exhibition together? We can help spin some words and draft an application on behalf in keeping with your concepts and visions, so let us know if we can help - can't wait to attend some opening nights! #exhibition #galleries #solo #groupshows #applications #startnow #support #studio #artwork #installation #excited
