Cranes
2010
By Elana Mullaly

‘Cranes’ is illuminating the contrast between real life and imagination. This peice is of my beautiful friend Emma Sparks. She has the greenest eyes, the reddest hair and full lips which made her a dream to draw.

About the Artist

I’m Elana Mullaly, and what floats my boat the most is drawing people I know, spending weeks on an image and using colour pencil and paint on recylcled card. The satisfaction of adding white colour pencil shines to a near complete work is what spurs me on to create the next. I’m inspired by dots, animals, nature, friends, the small things and connecting it all together with swirling tangled hair.

In early 2012 Brisbane artist Shida embarked on an international tour determined to make his mark on the world’s street art scene. Painting monumental murals in his signature dynamic style he collaborated with some of the most talented street artists across the globe. A gestural climax of colour and ecstatic line surges through his mystifying imagery, allowing viewers a glimpse of a sublime, pulsating paradise. Shida has ignited his career with local and international acclaim; his ongoing success in the art world is testament to his relentless creative spirit.

Shida’s signature style transitions from the street to the
gallery for a series of shows across the world, beginning in his home town of Brisbane Australia.

Blake House Gallery will play host to an all encompassing show featuring refined paintings, sculpture and conceptual installations.
