NEW AND FABULOUS IN THE CAPITAL CITY OF STYLE THANKS to you, our stylish, generous, treasured customers, we are a Finalist in the 2008 Leader Newspapers Business Acheiver Awards. Thanks to those who nominated and voted for melbournestyle. CURRENT EXHIBITION: ANTARCTICA - ALISON LESTER AND FRIENDS From June 24 - July 12, this remarkable series of works is a collaboration between artist and Antarctic adventurer Lester and the schoolchildren of Australia. Children's author, Alison Lester, travelled to Antarctica in 2005 as an Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) Arts Fellow. Her regular reports back via email to the schoolchildren of Australia resulted in a unique collaboration of imagination, inspiration and innocence. She is has created a series of paintings inspired by her experience, and is working on developing a children's book from the series. Created in collaboration with the schoolchildren of Australia, the resulting works are both poignant and charming, a blend of childlike naivete and the deft hand of an illustrative master. The outcome of this creative dialogue is unlike anything most of us have seen, both because of the subject matter, and the process of the art that created it. The product of many imaginations, many months, and many surprises, this exhibition is both celebration and warning, as it conjures for us the remote Antartcic and its inhabitants - immutable, doomed, teeming, vulnerable, funny and melancholy. For the first time, these works have been presented as large canvasses in an exhibition at melbournestyle gallery.
