I am a sad fan of Matte Stephens. The reason it has taken me so long to tell you what I love about him is because I’m a ditherer. I can barely choose from a menu without the fear of meal envy, so deciding which of his works to show is a near impossible task. By choosing one or two or three favourites means a few dozen more equally wonderful works are neglected. But then, in my quarantined snufflehead state last week I revisited my favourite film from childhood – Mon Oncle – and the decision was made. You’ll be delighted to know Matte Stephens artworks are available from Perth’s brand new Outré Gallery in William Street.

I have no idea how John James Audubon managed to get his subject matter to stay still. Maybe his past profession as a taxidermist helped matters along. Prints of his beautiful paintings are available for purchase here.

We have more than a weakness for woodgrain, so you can imagine our delight when woodgrain meets art. Audrey Kawasaki, Amy Sol and Tiffany Bozic are three very talented ladies who bring wooden surfaces to life with their exquisite paintings. Each artist creates their own whimsical worlds where seductive goddesses float in a dreamlike state (Audrey Kawasaki), cute girls befriend magical woodland creatures (Amy Sol) and haunting animals inhabit surreal landscapes (Tiffany Bozic). Swoon.
