Kill Pixie
Developing his craft in the city, this former street artist has made an astounding transition to softer mediums. His delicate line work and masterful use of colour through ink, watercolour and acrylic communicate beautifully through his choice of canvas - mostly paper or resinated hand-made wooden boxes. His pattern work is unorthodox and abstract yet strikes a schizophrenic harmony with his longing and respect for space. Embedded with symbols and life experiences the work is often a suggestion what could have been. He presents a prophecy for an abstracted, urban version of folk art.

Trent Whitehead
Trent Whitehead was born in 1980 in a small surf town north of Sydney, Australia. He now lives and works out of his studio in Bondi Beach.Trent's exquisitely patterned and highly narrative works explore the effects of extinction in a fantastical world of horned creatures and bearded villains.In the wake of the unicorns extinction all horned creatures are now under threat, their horns now highly prized by poachers keen to exploit their magical properties.Trent's paintings portray scenes of hope, desperation and loss in a deceptively light hearted way. His use of kaleidoscopic colours and references to folk costume and ornament lend a sumptuous and shimmering element to already dynamic and endearing characters. Working predominantly in ink and acrylic often on salvaged wood panels and also on beautifully hand crafted wooden masks and boxes he constructs himself.
Reka is an established artist of Melbourne’s burgeoning 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, interstate and overseas. 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. The origins of these characters lie in his creation of logos, built upon simple and bold designs much like the core of the “pop art movement” and also influenced by toy and cartoon designs of the current period. Over time the logos and symbols evolved into more structured forms and embraced the variances of the different media he began to work with such as design, murals, graphics and photography.
