Justine McAllister is a Melbourne based visual artist and muralist. She has just concluded her second solo exhibition titled “Romantic Rebellion” which was on show at 45 downstairs. The works are a vibrant exploration of colour, chaos and liberation, with nude figures calmly lying amongst flames, animals in motion and an engulfing noise. Justine is an incredibly active muralist with no wall too large for her colourful animals and figures. Beautiful work all round. Instagram: @justinemcallister

Send us a textThank you to artist Tom Carment for speaking with us on Art Wank! We visited Tom at his home in Sydney and talked about his long career as an artist. He predominantly paints outdoors, carrying a backpack filled with supplies and capturing interesting sights along the way—whether it's a jacaranda tree, rooftops, or a unique view. His work is like a visual diary, immediate and in the moment. When he paints at home, he often focuses on the everyday, like typewriters, eggs, and vegetables—anything at hand.Tom is also a prolific and gifted writer so check out his website to read some of his works. He is represented by King Street Gallery in Sydney. 'Tom Carment was born in Sydney in 1954. He studied for one year at Julian Ashton Art School in 1973. Tom is a painter of landscapes, portraits, and still lifes, and is also a writer. His pictures have been exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions since the 1970s, and his stories and essays have been published nationally. During the 1980s, he lived overseas for four years in Africa (Zimbabwe and Zambia) and in France, returning to Sydney in 1988.Tom has been represented by King Street Gallery since 1993. With his most recent solo exhibition ‘The Long Way Round' in October 2023.Tom's portraits have been selected for the Archibald Prize twelve times, and his landscapes for the Wynne Prize eight times.

Over one hundred of Tom's works were shown at the 2014 Dobell Australian Drawing Biennial at the Art Gallery of NSW. In 2008 the Hawkesbury Regional Gallery held a survey of his work entitled, People, Paddocks, Coastlines.From 2004-06 Tom worked on a commission for the City of Melbourne to document in words, paintings and drawings the construction of Council House 2 – the ‘greenest' office building in Australia.Tom's work is a reportage on his life – the external environment through his landscapes, the internal environment and friendships through his still lifes and portraits. Tom's pictures are usually small in scale and notable for their sensitive interpretation of light. Nearly all of his works are painted and drawn from life.Tom's published books include Days and Nights in Africa (1985), Seven Walks – Cape Leeuwin to Bundeena (2014) and Womerah Lane – Lives and Landscapes (October 2019).Tom currently resides in Sydney, NSW.'

*Art nude, natural light master, celebrating diversity"Nudity in art has been a prominent form of creative expression, ever since artists have been creating. But its acceptance within society has always trodden a fine line between goddess form and porn. But as it's place within the modern zeitgeist grows more and more precarious, artists like photographer Melbourne Art Natural have started stepping up and pushing their body-positive agenda and celebrating just what it means to be human.Because for M.A.N, nudity in art isn't about selling sex; it's about promoting bodies of all shapes, sizes, genders and backgrounds. In this episode, I spoke to M.A.N about how he got into art nude and how he navigates it as a male, why it's so important for him to showcase and celebrate a wide range of bodies, and how he hopes to change the narrative when modern technology fights hard to shut his voice down.

In Episode 5 your hosts find themselves in the charming company of an ambitious young gallerist; Adam Stone, and his canine companion Toby, at Lon Gallery. The conversation starts out as the three recall a troubled period in any creative’s life - the days right after art school. Adam shares the experience of forging his own path in Melbourne’s art world, via residencies in New York and Beijing.The trio go completely off road as they compare the world of commercial galleries, punk boutique art fairs, and BMX bike riding. Elizaveta remembers her sweet 16th birthday party and Matto has flashbacks to getting drunk with a queer arts mentor back in his youth.*In this episode, we cover a couple of galleries that aren’t open anymore, so we share their history via our show notes with links below.Lon Gallery - http://www.longallery.com/Chapter House Lane - http://chapterhouselane.org.au/The Honeymoon Suits - http://thehoneymoonsuite.org/Utopian Slumps - http://utopianslumps.com/Fort Delta - https://www.fortdelta.com.au/NEIS - https://www.employment.gov.au/self-employment-new-business-assistance-neisThe White Pube - https://www.thewhitepube.co.uk/

Episode 4 is hands down the most quotable of the season! Your hosts welcome Chantal Wynter to Matto’s westside abode and the trio hit the ground running by plotting a murder. They get sidetracked as Chantal shares the history of West Projections Festival.They unpack some fruitful and rotten thinking around arts practice, artists as adults that play and practitioner labels. Chantal and Elizaveta unanimously explode in the “aha!” moment as Matto teaches them that even fruit trees don’t bear fruit all year round. Finally, Elizaveta reveals a little too much about her dorky work ways, but her friends seem to like her anyway.West Projections Festival - https://westprojections.com/Wynter Projects - http://wynterprojects.com/

Your hosts kick off Season 2 with something a little different - an overseas arts space! No, they didn’t just land a sweet sponsorship or inherent a stack of cash, they are joined by Preston Hegel from Exchange, Christchurch who just happened to be in Melbourne.Preston starts out by sharing tales of his homeland and whiskey but soon enough the focus is brought back to Christchurch and its vibrant arts scene. Preston explains the dynamic of the Exchange and the true sense of community they are working to preserve and expand. Get to hear his version of the work/life balance and how Elizaveta figures that she’s born to be a mother.Exchange Christchurch - http://www.xchc.co.nz/

They are joined by Jeremy Eaton who discusses the varied projects of Kings and its recent push for accessibility and stability.We probably spend way too much time in and around the gallery toilets but we eventually surface to talk about the value of the artist-run space committee as a community. Jeremy has your hosts in stitches as he describes the time he and the committee made a makeshift gallery / festival in his home to get a sense of an interstate festival.Kings Artist Run - http://www.kingsartistrun.org.au/

We live in cities and towns that reflect the denial of Indigenous histories and perspectives, but momentum around this issue is building. What role can design play in addressing the lack of memorials and visibility to the memories and legacy of the frontier wars in Australia? What are the challenges around this for both non-Indigenous and Indigenous designers? MPavilion’s second annual BLAKitecture forum brought together Indigenous built environment practitioners on the Yaluk-ut Weelam land of the Boon Wurrung people. The forum aimed to centralise Indigenous voices in conversations about architecture, the representation of histories, the present state and the future of our built environments. BLAKitecture was curated by MPavilion’s program consultant Sarah Lynn Rees.
