Secret Wars Sydney: Round 1

This international paint and ink-flicking frenzy is raw art rendered at the speed of beats, and it's back in Sydney for its third installment. This time, the Oxford Art Factory will host returning champion, Houl, who will be headlining a charge of artists, including Jimmy Baxter, Sonny Day (We Buy Your Kids) and Alex Lehours. Secret Wars is a celebration of the quick draw, of artisan craft brought to the level of performance and of the never-ending quest to push oneself to the limit. It's even spawned its own Euro League, putting it on par with soccer by default - and there's nothing more inspiring than being likened to a game of headbutting balls.

Overview

It's back, ladies and gentlemen!

The international paint and ink-flicking frenzy, Secret Wars, is back in Sydney for its third installment and this time Oxford Art Factory is the lucky host. Returning champion, Houl, will be headlining a charge of artists, including Jimmy Baxter, Sonny (We Buy Your Kids) and Alex Lehours.

What can one expect from a bout of Secret Wars?

The simplest answer is: raw art rendered at the speed of beats. But there's more than that, much more. This is a phenomenon that has spawned its own Euro League, putting it on par with soccer by default — and there's nothing more inspiring than being likened to a game of headbutting balls.

Balls aside, Secret Wars is a celebration of the quick draw, of artisan craft brought to the level of performance and of the never-ending quest to push oneself to the limit.
