Just a quick blog this week as I am inundated with work. This week I have been looking at Vernon Ah Kee as I think his work is absolutely fantastic and very interesting. Most of his works centre around critiquing Australian popular culture. But it is his portrait work that I am drawn to. They are so big and so emotive. There are some that you could just look at for hours, they are superbly drawn and the emotions across each subjects face is different and thought provoking.
Vernon Ah Kee, Annie Ah Sam (A), 2008, charcoal, crayon and acrylic on canvas, 180 x 240cm.
Secondly I have been looking at singer Geoffrey Gurrumul. To be quite honest I barely have words to explain how moving and touching his work is. It is so special and he seems to be a truly beautiful soul. All I can do is link you to his website so that you can watch his work yourself, there is a video section of the site that has his music videos on there....
