Studio615: Time Flies

Overview

The Melbourne art world has been thriving recently and it doesn't look like it's losing any momentum.From September 12, Obscura Gallery will be playing host to Time Flies — a collaborative group exhibition featuring the work of creative collective Studio615.

A group of artists – hailing from as near as the inner suburbs of Melbourne and as far as Brooklyn, New York – Studio615 aim at seeking personal motivation through an ethos of togetherness; forever conceptualising, creating and collaborating.The result? A spectacular combination of mural, installation, video and publication spanning across an impressive variety of mediums and disciplines. Time Flies features examples of illustration, graffiti, photography, design and creative direction.

Gathered in this space will be Melbourne-based artist, illustrator and graphic designer, Sahil Silk Roy as well as photographer Michael Danischewski. Melbourne’s Sam Octigan provides dynamic illustrations, while Newcastle designer Marcus Dixon and edgy American muralist Doug Aldrich have also jumped on board.

Tucked in amongst the bustle of East St Kilda’s Carlisle Street, Obscura is a gallery boasting a unique blend of art deco and contemporary minimalism. Working to fill the gap existent between artist, artwork and art enthusiast, the gallery provides the perfect home to Time Flies: a personal insight into how the artist works, both as an individual and as part of a collective project.
