Brisbane’s most treasured and eclectic suburbs inspired seven up-and-coming local artists to explore the city’s life through a wide variety of styles and subject matter. Kiln Gallery at the Paddington Substation presents Metropolis, which takes the viewer down a nostalgic path of romantic rooftops in Paddington, to mysterious side streets in the city’s centre.The Fortitude Valley, Red Hill and Paddington feature heavily and artists have incorporated their unique styles with luscious cityscapes, nightlife and dark sides to capture the ever-changing face of Brisbane. Recent Queensland College of Art graduate, Dan Cox, will be creating new work as the on site artist. He draws on architecture, skylines and aeroplanes as inspiration for his minimalist and stylish jewellery range for men and women. See Brisbane through the eyes of seven of the city’s well-known artists, for a fresh perspective on the place we call home.
