CURRENT EXHIBITION
Antony Makhlouf
Banksia Serrata, 2020 | Gumnuts, 2020 | Eucalyptus tereticornis, 2020
Custom-framed inkjet print on watercolour paper | 31 cm x 39.5 cm
The original artworks of these prints were created using paints made by the artist. The artist extracted pigments from native botanicals burnt by the 2020 Australian bushfires combined with a homemade binding mix. Charging this collection is the idea of rejuvenation after adversity, using the regenerative abilities of Australian flora as both a metaphor and in the production of the artwork's materials. The original pieces were exhibited and sold at the Royal Botanical Gardens, Sydney.
Antony Makhlouf is a multidisciplinary creative working as a visual artist and actor. His artworks have been exhibited extensively in Sydney, Melbourne, and Beirut. He also has multiple murals across Sydney, including this theatre.

Theatre and Green Door Theatre).

Micaela Ellis
m.ellistrations focuses around grotesque cartoon realities, their own take on hyper realism. In love with colour and texture of the mediums they use, they like to rely on the state of flow (and at time the paint fumes) to realise itself into a finished work.
This particular series cosmic bodies is playing with the universal and grand unlimited beauty to the natural body.
Prints are available to order with deliveries happening once a month (inquire at @m.ellistrations via instagram)
Commissions are also available via inquiry
Guinevere Randall
Blue Mountains Artist
Guinevere Randall is a young artist from the Blue Mountains Australia, studying a Bachelor of fine arts at The National Art School. She loves to work with a range of art mediums, including drawing, painting, printmaking, textiles, and photography. Guinevere’s inspiration comes mainly from the Australian bush around her and looking at it from different perspectives. This exhibition includes a selection from a continuous collection of watercolour paintings of Eucalyptus leaves found on Dharug and Gundungurra Country and also Gadigal land of the Eora Nation. “The subtle colour changes and markings are so unique these tell the story of each leaf and the journey it has taken before coming to me.”

Hayley O’Mara
Based in Newtown, Sydney, the drawings Hayley O’Mara refers to as ‘scribbles from my palm’ are full of sweet and powerful messages about self acceptance, tackling toxic masculinity, mental health and all things in between. She says, “I originally just was shy about my scribbles and used it as a place to anonymously get my feelings about this world across. But all my scribbles are about really lovin who you are.” You can keep up with Hayley’s work on instagram @cheeky_palm
PRESENTED BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC for their season of HOT MESS
JODI RABINOWITZ
“A naked body (especially of a woman) does not need to mean sex. I just want to appreciate the beauty of a body (with all of it’s shapes and sizes) for what it is.” - Jodi Rabinowitz (Artist)
This body of work aims to portray and analyse the different ways women’s bodies are represented and to encourage audiences to be more understanding of the plethora of experiences that are lived by people who identify as women.

JAMES KELLY Sweet Tooth
“ I’ve always had a sweet tooth. Something about the bright colours of candy attracted my eye as a young boy and this never quite left me. These works, full of the joy, energy and sugar of life, are poetic colour field abstractions created over the year of 2018. The paints contrast deep layers of colour with flat intuitions of paint. For me this series is about laughter, friendship, compassion and the colourful side of life.
I would be thrilled for anyone with an interest in the work to get in touch with me; I’m always happy to bring people into my studio and have a chat about what I do”
LAUREN MARSHALL
Lauren is a Perth based artist whom has worked with illustration for many years. Her works include XCT, Bolt and soon to have her own original created title released in 2020, Lana Leuka. Lauren has worked traditionally for many years but has expanded recently into digital work. Comfortable in inking and colouring, Lauren is always looking to help and support the comic community.
JASMIN SIMMONS
Jasmin is an actor, who recently graduated from NIDA in 2017. Before studying she was working full time as a Graphic Designer at a studio in Sydney. She first started experimenting with an old film camera years ago when it was handed down to her from a family member and began taking it with her on her travels. Whilst studying at NIDA she found a love of candidly photographing her friends behind the scenes and side of stage of productions and recently she has begun taking promotional, rehearsal room and production photos for shows around Sydney (both film and digital), and has fallen in love with capturing magical moments of actors and crew at work
ANNA GARDINDER
Anna has worked as production designer on many productions at KXT, incl the 2018 bAKEHOUSE immersive production VISITING HOURS.
"As a Designer and Artist I’m fascinated with aesthetics of all kinds but I’m very often drawn to the antiquated and vintage, these drawings are an expression of that love of old things and the stories behind them. I also gravitate towards detail and I sought this in the subject matter of these drawings. The portraits are of women from the late 1800s and early 1900s, I adore the way they do their hair, the clothes they wear but more than anything it’s the look in their eyes that penetrate the picture. You can imagine all the things they’re thinking and what their lives must have been like.
Also included here is a drawing of an old Grocer’s building in a country town called Lue, I was often in Lue as a child at our family holiday home and loved to walk into the tiny town and admire the old buildings and peek through the gaps in the dusty old windows to see what was inside, more often than not there was a jumble of old furniture and a strange object or toy, I wanted to go inside more than anything but never could. My greatest wish for the old grocer is that it would be brought back to life as a replica of it’s time. I don’t think that’s very likely, sadly."
OLIVER CLARKE
There is always a shot out there; you just need to find it.
Oliver Clarke is a Correspondent Cameraman with the Nine Network Australia for the European Bureau. He has covered major world news in over twenty countries, and continues to enjoy the frantic life that comes with last minute scrambles to the airport and hotel room service feeds (of which the quality varies). His work is showcased on The Today Show, Channel Nine News and 9news.com.au.
More of his adventures can be seen on his instagram account: ollie_clarke.
I’ve always considered myself incredibly lucky to be able to do a job I love; a journalist friend of mine described our jobs as “tickets to history”. I’ve been to places and witnessed events that only the privileged get to see, and I’ve had to cover stories and film subjects that only the unlucky have to attend. It’s a battle of ups and downs; the good and the bad; the right and the wrong, but it’s always exciting.
I chose this collection of photographs to show the vast variety of situations that a Correspondent Cameraman can experience. My role as a Cameraman doesn’t feature in many of the photos, but it’s that job that allows me to discover these locations and situations, and experience something new each time.
I hope you enjoy looking at these images, as much as I enjoyed taking them.
There is always a shot out there; you just need to find it.
YVETTE TZIALLAS | YMT
YMT designed and installed the unique the mural in the KXT foyer, and created the boabab tree backdrop for the 2016 bAKEHOUSE production of Black Jesus
YMT is a Sydney based Contemporary visual artist, who works in a variety of mediums ranging from drawing, glass, print media, textiles, photography, and mural work. She has exhibited extensively since 2008 in a number of group shows around Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Her work has featured in various magazine and book publications, and held in private collections throughout Australia.
Her style reflects an abstracted perception of how we, as humans, are built using the smallest of cells, molecules and particles to construct a large, multi-functioning organism (the body) and reinterpreted by her using pen to paper. There is a balance between design, pattern making and her obsessive detailing with the structures, and formation of human anatomy, its composition, construction and her deconstruction of it. Her drawings echo personal experiences and emotions, with symbols, patterns and themes that are appropriated from the cross-cultural abundance that influences and surrounds her.
YMT’s drawings are visual statements on the human condition, exploring our ephemerality, our genetic faults, notioning sexuality, and uncovering the beauty in the grotesque and morbid. Her work is an expression of the unconscious, a catharsis for things only aptly represented visually. Amongst the themes embedded in her works, is the constant exploration and dissecting of self.
NATASHA NARULA
Natasha Narula is a photo artist. She has been the production photographer for the bAKEHOUSE production of the The Laden Table, March 2017, and was festival photographer for the Invisible Circus, November 2016. Her images have been taken as she traveled overseas, meeting with and photographing the children and women of the local villages in Morocco.
