Stunt Mullet

P.S. Wallace has existed on the fringe of the art world for a long time. Noted as being a permanent fixture on the Newtown Dadaist bar scene since the mid/late 90’s, and referred to by Sam Simmons publicly once as, being good at pub. With no real art training as such, he is generally accepted by his peers and family as “arty”, and by strangers as “that wanker guy, you know, ...the one who refuses to drink anything other than cans of Melbourne”. Like all post-graduate trained Industrial Designers, he has a long list of mediocre achievements (outside that of his field), including being a founder and lead singer of the 90’s seminal art-post-cock-punk outfits  “I may just fuck myself” and later “LambLambLambLambMan” (who’s crowning achievement was being sponsored by G & A Meats on Norton St. Leichhardt), Early 90’s Brisbane Nightclub Operator (Subterranean/Green), Late 90’s Sunglass Designer (Jonathan Sceats), Sydney Cafe owner (Vender Cafe), with a short lived hand modelling career, and a more recent invitation to model his mullet for local hairdresser Family & Friends (Chippendale). He has worked for most of the large Sydney advertising and design firms of the turn of the century. Currently (and for some 20 odd years) the founder and Art Director of the multi-disciplinary design company PEOWPEOW (producing Corporate Identities, Branding, Print Advertising, Signage, Interiors, etc.), and recently the operator of SthSthKingSt a creative art space in St Peters, and home to Nude Night Life drawing.

Personal notes on Mullets

P.S.Wallace known for having one of the finest and consistently inventive mullets* in the greater Sydney area, owes a debt of gratitude to the chiselling and maintenance carried out by Warm Hands Walmsley at Friends & Family

Simon Mc’Lean

Simon McLean is a contemporary artist based in Sydney Australia. His works combine an array of gestural, expressive forms and imagery into seductively compelling compositions. With a practice spanning over 25 years. His approaches to practice are varied and continually evolving, blurring the distinctions between expressive figurative, impulsive gestural and abstract graphic. 

In drawing, painting, mixed-media and print, his work continues to excite and delight. Characterised as “fluid, suggestive, and lyrical”. He always manages to engage and entice the viewer. Seducing the eye to meander throughout the image, leading it to new and intriguing discoveries.

He is currently represented by SthSthKingSt Gallery.

Alan Somerville

Portrait of Alan by Peter Whelan

Alan Somervilles name is synonymous with classical Australian major public works. Too numerous to mention let’s just touch on a couple of big boys, The ANZAC bridge soldier, and the World Square Bull, Somervilles work is significant …( more work )

“As a figurative sculptor I aim to capture the essence of the subject based on strong form. Movement, energy and emotion are very important. I strive for these qualities in my work and value them above absolute anatomical correctness and overworked highly detailed finishing which often destroys spontaneity and feeling. Good art and sculpture should test the viewer’s imagination. “

Don’t miss out on Alan Somervilles Clay Workshops, beginners welcome.

SthSthKingSt is proud to welcome Al to the building.
