Our next exhibition is also a photographic one; however it will be presented in 3-parts.

  • Part 1 by Andrea Drury will start open on 19 October
  • Part 2, also by Andrea Drury will start open on 26 October
  • Part 3 by Georgia Laughton will also open on 26 October

This new exhibition examines Camino Seguro ‘safe passage’ in Guatemala (Part 1), post-refugee life in Australia (Part 2), and over-fishing of our oceans (Part 3).

Please stay tuned for details…

school holiday art walk

If you have exhausted the usual school holiday haunts and are looking for something else to do these school holidays, then this could be for you!

Whilst Prahran has always been a hub for fine art, it now boats at least 7 art galleries; all in and around the Greville Street Precinct.

It’s fun, free, and will open the kids’ eyes to a whole heap of new and diverse art, both in style and medium.

My recommendation is to catch the train to Prahran Station (or park in the Cato Street car park if you’re driving).

  • Start with us at one hundredth gallery – 49 Porter Street
  • After seeing our photography exhibition, walk down Porter Street and turn left into Greville Street to see Art Boy – 99 Greville Street
  • Head down Greville Street and turn right into St. Edmonds Road to Rtist – 29 St. Edmonds Road
  • Then to Helen Gory Galerie – 25 St. Edmonds Road
  • Walk down St. Edmonds Rd and turn left into High Street
  • Walk down High Street, cross over Chapel Street to see Carbon Black – 188 High Street
  • Head back down High Street and turn right into Chapel Street
  • Walk down Chapel street and turn right into Carlton Street to see Anna Pappas Gallery – 2 Carlton Street
  • Keep heading down Carlton Street and turn left into Little Chapel Street
  • Cross the road to see Chapel off Chapel – 12 Little Chapel Street
  • From there, continue down Little Chapel Street to Malvern Road/Commercial Road
  • Turn left and head to the Prahran Market for some lunch

And you’re done!

Seven galleries in around 2 hours.

All free, all diverse, and all interesting.

extension, refresh, and new work!

Extension

Due to the popularity of our current Photography Exhibition, we have extended it through to Sunday 9 October. So, if you’re unable to make it this week due to the rain; or Saturday due to the AFL Grand Final; or Sunday because you’re commiserating Collingwood’s loss; you now have another whole week to drop by to see some wonderful art by six very talented photographers.

Refresh

We have refreshed our home page with new images for your viewing pleasure.

New Work

With the extension to the exhibition, look out for some new pieces both online and in the gallery. We have just loaded four exciting new works by Christopher Smith!

introducing christopher smith

Christopher is a second year student (part-time) at the Photography Studies College in Melbourne. He took up photography as a creative outlet three years ago and spends most of his spare time engaged in study, exploring ideas and shooting.

He is hoping to spend some time in the near future expanding his work past with people, particularly portraiture: “I find people endlessly fascinating. Everyone has a story to tell and it’s finding out what the story is and expressing it visually in some way is what makes photography so interesting.”

Additionally, he is developing a number of conceptual projects alongside his school folio work.

Chistopher is exhibiting and selling his work at one hundredth gallery until 2 October 2011.  Please click on the image below for further examples of Christopher’s work.

introducing keith melder

Keith Melder is an international award winning photographer. He is the recipient of the international 2011 CannesLions / CannesAlso photography award judged by celebrated photographer Rankin.

Keith has been working as a freelance creative in the advertising industry for over ten years. Highly motivated and driven by the need to constantly create, he has produced illustrations, animation, graphic design, photography and television commercials for a variety of retail brands.

Keith has been passionately pursuing photography as a personal art form for the past two years. A journey that began with walking the streets of Melbourne with his camera, where he fell in love with candid portraiture, has evolved into concept based studio portraits.

Subconsciously influenced by his career in advertising, his personal work tends to take on a slight pop art / commercial edge. However, his portraits eschew the cliches of traditional beauty to seek out the beauty in unconventional constructs – an item caught mid-air or the frozen moment of subjects colliding. As a result, Keith’s images invite you into a hidden surreal world usually lost to the human eye.

Keith maintains a sense of fun and spontaneity with his art but his dedication and high degree of discipline results in a well crafted image. He is developing a career as a fine artist and knows photography will play a large part.

Keith is exhibiting and selling his work at one hundredth gallery until 2 October 2011.  Please click on the image below for further examples of Keith’s work.

introducing morgana creely

Morgana Creely’s images explore her own private vision of what lies in the shadows and in the light. With each image Morgana strives to capture a moment in a story; a single movie image.

“I like to create images that tell stories, and images with a twist in the tale. I love images that make you look twice. A little mischievous bizarre in the ordinary.”

Morgana’s work doesn’t hold back, and has been the subject of the occasional controversy. However this doesn’t deter her from pursuing the images she wants to create. “Photography is incredibly subjective; that’s one of the things I really love about it”.

Based in a studio on the South Eastern side of town, Morgana also run a series of compositional workshops entitled “Images that Tell Stories” and is currently  working on her second book of photography.

Morgana is exhibiting and selling her work at one hundredth gallery until 2 October 2011.  Please click on the image below for further examples of Morgana’s work.

introducing jeff paine

Jeff Paine briefly entered photography over 15 years ago, when film was expensive and buildings made great models because they didn’t move!  Costs and other interests delayed a serious return to photography until around 4 years ago, when professional digital equipment was proving a worthy alternative to the traditional.  A Circa Nocturna photographer for 2 years, Jeff has worked alongside many amazing photographers and now spends most of his time helping new photographers, models, designers and other industry contributors with building their portfolios and businesses.

Regularly shooting freelance projects in areas such as fashion and beauty, portraiture, fine art and alternative, you can also find Jeff instructing lighting workshops at ShutterClass Studios or building props and gadgets for high speed photography and light painting.

Jeff is exhibiting and selling his work at one hundredth gallery until 2 October 2011.  Please click on the image below for further examples of Jeff’s work.

introducing natalie morawski

Natalie’s work encompasses simplicity and curiosity. Having the opportunity to travel to Poland, she enjoyed capturing its growth and raw splendor, in particular Gdansk. The images exhibited explore this city, which was once blessed with wealth; now resurging as a hauntingly beautiful shipping port, after years of struggle.

Natalie’s strong dedication to commercial/fine art is the driving source of her photography. Natalie has been awarded Silver and Silver distinction in both the 2011 AIPP Victorian Epson Professional Photography Awards (VPPY) and the 2011 Australian Professional Photography Awards (APPA).

Natalie is exhibiting and selling her work at one hundredth gallery until 2 October 2011.  Please click on the image below for further examples of Natalie’s work.
