Overview

The subject at hand of the latest Nine Lives exhibition may sound a little mundane, but artists Pedro Ramos and Angus Mcdiarmid will have you surprisingly mesmerised by their unique images of rocks and water. Joining collective forces, the Australian artists explore the captivating textures, vivid colours and kaleidoscopic patterns found when the land meets the sea. From sea scapes and rock formations to documenting the people around them engaging in the water that inspires them, Rocks & Water respectfully highlights the unexpected beauty found within nature.

Originally from Madeira Island off the coast of Portugal, Pedro Ramos works in Sydney as a freelance photographer and tutor. A talented artists, Pedro has exhibited his works internationally and has been featured in major publications such as Vice and Monster Children. He now returns to Nine Lives after exhibiting in last year’s sold out Semipermanent show.

Rocks & Water's other artist Angus Mcdiarmid is a little more local – living and working between Brisbane and the Gold Coast. He is however about to embark on a South American hiatus which I'm sure will make for some great imagery. In the mean time be sure to take in Rocks & Water, it's an exhibition you won't want to miss.
