Artist Chris Chun’s striking new zodiac painting commemorates 2021. The Ox is an essential zodiac as it represents strength, hard work and dependability, something we've all had to embrace after a tumultuous year. After 2020, where the whole world turned upside down, Chris wanted to create something comforting whilst demonstrating the beauty of resilience. When things are tough, anyone can look at MingBelle, the characterful Ox, and it will remind them of their inner strength and to keep on moving forward. https://www.chrischun.com/
Australian Artist Patricia Piccinini’s exhibition in the Flinders Street Station’s forgotten Ballroom is the first there in decade. Piccinini works in a variety of media, including painting, video, sound, installation, digital prints, and sculpture. She is an artist who explores the frontiers of science and technology through her extradinary works. She explores "unexpected consequences", conveying concerns surrounding bio-ethics to help visualize future dystopias. She challenges our relationship to nature valorising things like trees, animals and small acts of kindness we may usually overlook. An amazing exhibition to see once Melbourne is out of lockdown. https://www.patriciapiccinini.net
