Outside Inn

Outside Inn is an exploration of the accepted norms of suburbia and the sub-verse subculture of graffiti. Artists Kosie and Sauce struggle to find the perfect environment to practice their art due to the battle lines drawn by several local councils. The current political climate demands grey walls replace commissioned murals. As a result, these two artists have been forced to fit the mould of the gallery and display their works to the select few. Outside Inn is a depiction of suburbia, it could be any neighborhood around working class Brisbane. The straight fence, perfectly painted doors and neat lawns are all representations of the Australian dream. What the politicians didn’t account for was the expression of art which breaks trends and barriers.

A big thanks to Lee Hutton photography.

Outside Inn

During the last week of August, KosieONE and myself gathered all of out latest fine art works and filled the gallery space of Jugglers. Jugglers is a great art space in Fortitude Valley where the artists are encouraged to create their own work, using any medium and any method. This meant myself and KosieONE were also allowed to paint on the interior walls, which is a real rarity when it comes to gallery spaces in South East Queensland. Without the limitations other galleries impose we not only had a top time but produced a quality show.
