Donna Huddleston @ Galerie Juliette Jongma
I often find myself flicking through some of my old coveted fashion magazines (read: bibles), sometimes for inspiration, sometimes for an historical perspective, to see how fashion has evolved over the last decade, and sometimes to just reminisce. I came across a fairly recent article on ex-pat, London-based Australian illustrator Donna Huddleston, who is currently on show at the Galerie Juliette Jongma. You can join the dots of her career, which has crossed the realms of theatre design, costume design and now fine art illustration, at the site and enjoy her latest paintings; an offering of female figures that border between doll-like geishas and sci-fi space queens.

Kirra Jamison
Beginning Friday Jan Murphy Gallery will exhibit Australian artist Kirra Jamison’s artworks, designs based on mythical creatures. Her loose brushstrokes are both fanciful and mysterious, blending human and natural form to create narratives that are based on patterns and the imaginative space of mind.

Anon. Women
Our second day at Fashion Week has begun rather dramatically (as only Sydney could deliver) with a power blackout, throwing all shows into chaos. Fortunately we were caught up at the Ben Smith for Anon. Women (offsite) show at the Museum of Contemporary Art, which relied on a haunting live performance by soprano singer Sue Ellen Cusack, rather than a booming sound system. However, because of said power failure the hall wasn’t packed to full capacity as it should have been. We’ll follow up this post soon with some images from the collection.

Gallery 52
Consumed by the idea of space and using black vinyl tape, artist Esther Stocker created an impressive, monochromatic dream for London Gallery 52. Fusing abstract design with architectural principles Stocker creates a sense of optical illusion in her work, with its minimal construction and simplistic colour palette.
