RAW BRISBANE: ENCOMPASS

Lets Buy Mayfair - Scott Hynd

November 22nd 2013 marked the date of my very first exhibition, Encompass, hosted by RAW: Natural Born Artists. As this was the first time I had ever participated in anything of the sort I didn't know what to expect and only a little of how to prepare. Simply said, Encompass was a good night had by all and I was over the moon with how my display turned out! The night was a fantastic opportunity to meet new people, network with other creatives and have a drink and a dance.

Encompass saw The Arena, a local venue in fortitude valley, buzzing with creativity, drinks flowing and music pumping! I was seriously inspired by so many artists but two of the standouts for me were Scott Hynd Art and Wedding Flowers by Julia Rose.

Scott's work is heavily influenced by pop art and is full of so much life and colour! Each piece uses mixed mediums of spray paint and enamel on canvas. If I wasn't a student I would love a piece in my home! For those of you strapped for cash a print or phone cover is the easiest way to compliment an artist without breaking the bank.

It's Over Mario - Scott Hynd

Flowers by Julia Rose captured by BNE style

Wedding Flowers by Julia Rose is a Gold Coast based florist that specialises in making your moments momentous! The creation that she had on display at Encompass was simply breathtaking! Check out a sweet snap here by Yolanda from BNE style.

Yolanda also managed to introduce herself to me on the night and grabbed a few quick snaps of my display! Love her work! BNE Style captures Brisbane's stylish inhabitants and profiles local designers. I felt so special to be featured on her blog as an emerging artist! Check out her review of RAW: Encompass here.

RAW: Encompass was a great opportunity and it allowed me to experience my first taste of the Brisbane art scene. I'm looking forward to being a part of more events like this in the future!
