(WARNING: Blatant self promotion.... but someone's gotta do it!)
Australian Visual Artist and Humorist, Lucy Fekete (that's moi), will be proudly featured in the BeinArt Surrealist Art Collective group exhibition The Sideshow, opening at For Walls Gallery in Melbourne CBD on 3 August.
The Sideshow will incorporate BeInArt Surrealist Art Collective’s top ten selected entries from the 2010 Sideshow competition alongside Fekete’s winning entry, “Silly Fat Cow and Two-faced B***h”. Together with this diverse collection of surrealist artworks, Fekete will also be exhibiting her sexy and hilarious series Goils of the Sideshow.
(check out my quote...)“My style is distinctive and attractive and my work is very accessible. Even people who wouldn’t normally like or care much for visual art enjoy looking at my paintings.” Fekete says, “I put a fair bit of humour and pop reference into my art which I think appeals to a wide audience. The Goils of the Sideshow will be no exception, as each painting has a specific back-story for each pin-up girl character that intends to entertain and hopefully amuse my audience. These ‘Goils’, while physically different, they are each uniquely beautiful and sexy to look at and I’m very proud of them.” (Pretty good quote huh? Tickets anyone?)
Opening night for Goils of the Sideshow and The Sideshow will be held from 6pm, 3 August and commence until 27 August on top of Miss Libertine at For Walls Gallery; level 1, 34 Franklin Street, Melbourne CBD. Gallery hours 9am – 5pm Mon-Fri, 10am-4pm Sat/Sun. Free entry.

Love the Goils of the Sideshow image and great to see humour back in Surrealism like it was in the first place. Wonderful work.
ReplyDeleteCheers. I agree (RE: humour in surrealism and I think art in general)
