TOYTOWN Show at Outré Gallery Melbourne, September 5 - October 6 2009
Melbourne artist Martin Harris showcases some amazing and rainbow hued watercolour
works in his own nostalgic and perfectly adorable style. Martin's miniature
artworks deserve to be observed with a magnifying glass! Their detail is
wonderful and their subject matter enchanting. Martin has a dedicated band
of fans who have followed his quietly glowing career. New fans and old are
going to be absolutely charmed by this new body of works which really showcases
Martin's skills and visions as nothing short of brilliant. Martin re-creates
his own visions of old time science labs, storybook wonderlands, dreamy candy
playgrounds and tableaux from vintage encyclopedias. And did we say they
are populated with the most adorable anthropomorphized menagerie - cats,
dogs, birds, bears, elephants, foxes aplenty. Expect candy-dreaming, cute-galore
and vintage inspired wonder - and affordable prices on these super detailed
originals.[Outré Gallery press release]
