Joseph Allen
Joseph Allen is jack-of-all-trades who hopes only to be reasonably-good-at-just-one before the time he becomes flower fertiliser. Always fascinated by the phrase 'mixed business' used by many Sydney convenience stores, Joseph Allen adopted this phrase as an umbrella term for his unrestricted commercial art making. In the last decade Joseph has spent most of his time in London designing skateboarding periodicals and record sleeves. Now back in his birth town, Sydney, he has established Izrock Mixed Business as an (in)convenience store for general art tom foolery. Currently his main focuses are being the gallerist at Monster Children Gallery, other curatorial work and running Izrock Pressings, a platform for independent small run artist books, zines and editioned art prints.

TIM CHAPMAN – BE RAD @ Monster Children Gallery
November 5th 08, 17:13
BE RAD opens tonight 6th November at 6pm
Tim Chapman’s work centers on the collision of popular culture, historical art traditions, autobiographical vignettes and anecdotes from individuals met in random locations.
In keeping with a wildly eclectic aesthetic, Chapman’s debut exhibition at the monster children gallery, “be rad”, will be a visual splattering, a drive-by of scattershot images ‘fired from the hip’. Water colours and drawings are produced on paper in the manner of a patient suffering from A.D.D. Moving from one theme to the next with abandon this is Chaos versus the Formal, with precise, meticulous drawing
giving way in an instant to complete disorder.
BE RAD.
