Barek

Brisbane’s own Barek is back with a new show at The Bearded Lady.

A street artist at heart, Barek is known for dabbling with various media, drawing and sculpture, branching out to stickers, aerosols and lino prints that pop up in the most conspicuous of places. The trademark is cartoon faces, the expressionless to the costumed; sometimes with a message to share, Barek aims for the understated and the unusual, meticulous in construction, interweaving with the viewer’s imagination.

And what better venue for the unusual and the conspicuous than The Bearded Lady. A hidden gem in Brisbane’s cultural mecca, West End, this is a bar where the beers are cold and boutique by the barrel, the bar staff awaiting you with a smile, and the music is so on trend, you’ve probably never heard it before.

So many delights in the once place, you’re set for spoiling once you set foot in the quaint bar with its pulse on vintage eclecticism.
