About Wild Brumby Art Gallery, Albert Square
First things first - the beginning
Wild Brumby Art Gallery emerged from the gutters of St Kilda around 2010-2011, taking residence in a sprawling, cracked house near the Caulfield race track, which became a unique art space Caulfield was known for. Created by Andy J Crowder and ‘Dirty Kurty’ LINTNER, two outsider artists who shared a passion for creation, they worked tirelessly on their art day and night. Life in the world of art was vibrant, with each day dedicated to making art that would soon be gone.
After the Caulfield location faced demolition and Johny Dancer cut down Dirty Kurty, Andy's art hit the road, eventually landing in Melton.
Until now, we've made art whenever, however, and wherever we could. But now, the outsiders have arrived at a shiny new posh location, and ooooh, we do say!
Our ethos continues to be DIY.
About our artists
Artist in residence & founding artist Andy J Crowder
Artist and musician Andy J Crowder
My art is something that evolved out of graffiti and comics, into band posters, and always painting… I have moved into the realm of what I call ‘existential symbolism’ along with some realism plucked from life, from what I see, where I go …
I also do Sculptures carved from wood, and recycled materials…art has a healing and visionary effect on me …
About our artists
Artist and musician Laura Trapnell
Paint on my fingers, it flows through my veins, I paint so to stop from going insane. A creature emerges, sinful or true? A woman appears, but is still and quite blue. There's something not right with the child underneath. There's a deer with sharp blood-soaked jagged teeth. A beautiful lily, it sprouts from her skin as I silence the screaming and laughter within. I also paint pets, or a rose for your mum to quiet the chatter; I paint for the fun.
Pocket Full of Rye Laura will be exhibiting works in our opening exhibition at our art gallery in Melbourne. We are excited to show you more about this unique art space in Caulfield, where outsider artists can share their creations.
Laura performs in the band Wintersun with Angela Howard, Rob Wellington, and Peter Cave.
