Sultans of Sydney

Recently befriended a whole bunch of street artists painting the city whacky. Met one of the guys through a friend of a friend at a party and since have been hanging out with the bunch in their gallery at 55 Enmore rd Newtown.

The ‘Oh Really’ gallery is the perfect place for anyone who wants to wander in and gaze at canvases or even sit on the couch with a beer and a sketchbook. This totally laid-back atmosphere are what these guys are all about. Plus their artwork is super. 

Last thursday night the boys asked me to perform a tap dance to open their ‘culture jam’ event on the premises. People flocked from all over and filled up the tiny space with great vibes and casual chit chat. Later the tunes got rolling when some MC’s started free-styling to a band.

Another band followed and soon instruments began to rotate around everyone amongst all the radical dancing. Meanwhile two live artists ‘Kwan’ & ‘Sribla’ were contributing to the atmosphere in creating a really kick-ass collaboration on the back wall.

These have inspired me to pick up my sketchbook again. Maybe even try out this ‘paste-up’ business. Who knows? So Sydney art-fiends – check it out.
