A new exhibition starring some of Melbourne’s greatest graph artists and illustrators opens soon at Kristian Pithie Gallery.

‘The outsiders dwell on the edge, on the fringe of the acceptable, making their marks independently of the formal codes and conventions of Fine Art. These makers skirt and bridge the realms of graffiti, street, commercial and illustrative art…

Often seen as belonging to one or more of these groups, their influence on each other and the broader creative landscape stretches far and wide. It is their unique differences and adaptability that gives them strength as individuals; this variation also blesses their practices with longevity and meaning that grows over time. Whilst their diversity as a group is clear, each artist standing distinctively apart, they are ultimately united as ‘outsiders.’ - Kristian Pithie Gallery.
