Be Civilised – An exhibition by Kitt Bennet and Shawn Lu

We are really proud to have these two legends show at Juddy Roller. Shawn and Kitt have both been active members of the Juddy studio for a long time now. It’s been an absolute pleasure to watch them both develop their style, skill and content during this time. They are, in my opinion, two of Melbourne’s most talented illustrators.

Although both have a completely different style and approach to their art, their work ethic has been carved from the same wood. Day in day out they work tirelessly to perfect their craft and this exhibition is a testament to their achievements.

If you only see one more exhibition this year. Make it this one. You wont be disappointed. Well done boys!

“Be Civilised is a collection of ink works on paper, by Juddy Roller’s own Kitt Bennett and Shawn Lu. The works are a documentation of the artists’ perceived representations of culture and the human experience that comes with it.”

Street artist Goodie paints amazing new portrait at Juddy Roller

We’ve had our eyes on Goodie for quite a while now. She really hit our radar during the Patterson project with her deconstructed portraiture and great use of colour. Goodie has a unique painting style that can only be called her own. A feature of her work that we find particularly interesting is her approach to space and the way she utilises it to create site specific mural installations. Keep an eye on this one as she continues to develop her style and all the while giving the boys of the large scale portrait scene a run for their money!

Amazing new animated music clip by Kit Bennett

It was really amazing to see Kit Bennett flex his illustrative prowess for this one. When we were asked by Opiuo if we wanted to help him with a new animated film clip for his track Slug a Bug, featuring New Zealand EDM heavyweights Shapeshifter we knew Kit was the one to make it happen. That said, i think he blew us all away with the end result. Awesome job by the guys at Round 3 Creative shooting and editing. You all did an incredible job!

Pantone Paints Juddy

It was an absolute pleasure to meet such a nice, humble guy with such a fresh style. Great  decision by the guys at Wonderwalls Festival to bring him out as the guest international artist for this year’s event.

Pantone is a super cool guy and we can’t wait for him to come back and visit us here in Aus. You can check out his work on canvas at Backwoods gallery right now!

Tree Spirits – Ears Solo Exhibition

Tree Spirits is a culmination of work that Ears has produced during a month long residency at Juddy Roller, using the entire gallery space as his studio to produce a mix of large format and smaller mixed media paintings on canvas and wood panel. This is Ears’ first Melbourne solo show in over 4 years.

Tree Spirits delivers a series of imagined landscapes that reference mountainous Australian bush lands, accompanied by floating portraits warped by playful line work offset by sparse graphic elements.

In his latest body of work, Ears uses bold colours and geometric lines to create compositions born of a street context yet taken further into ideas of symmetry and form, utilising the tension between the man made world and the natural environment.

Tree Spirits opens at Juddy Roller Studios Friday July 3 at 6pm and runs until Sunday July 12.

Collingwood Power Station

With the support of CitiPower Powercor, The Neighbourhood Justice Centre and City of Yarra, Juddy Roller transformed the Collingwood power substation at the corner of Easey Street and Wellington Street into one of Melbourne’s most iconic pieces of public art.

The graffiti treatment was a collaboration between some of the most sought after and influential contemporary street artists including Rone, Adnate, Mayo, Guido Van Helton and Askew. The monochromatic artwork was carefully curated, balancing community aesthetic and implementing subtle graffiti deterring features. Background and portraits by Askew, script by Mayo and photo realistic portraits by Rone, Guido and Adnate.

The power station is an stand-out example of how street art and graffiti aesthetics can be combined to create a lasting, positive impression on the community whilst having a strong anti graffiti and impact.e9
