The New Face of Art Melbourne...

Hi Art Lovers,
We would like to share with you Art Melbourne's new look! With a new logo and branding that is in-line with the international Affordable Art Fair makeover, Art Melbourne moves into the New Year with a fresh face and contemporary edge!

The Affordable Art Fairs have become something of a global phenomenon now taking place twice annually in London and New York, and annually in Bristol, Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, Singapore, Milan and Melbourne.

Our formula is relatively simple: a relaxed, unstuffy environment and lots of good quality original art without the high-end price tag. We believe buying art can provide a lifetime of enjoyment and inspiration for everyone. We hope you do too.

the Art Melbourne team xx

Tamsin Roberts takes a look at the current exhibition at Ausin Tung Gallery, the space that everyone is talking about and Art Melbourne's NEW art fair partner!

"Ausin Tung are certainly pushing the boundaries with this show; a little clever and a little unexpected, it is relevant and interesting.  This show is designed to provoke questions, it is for those prepared to step outside the normal confines of ‘pretty pictures’ and explore something new." Tamsin Roberts, Director Art Melbourne

Ren Zhe

With great respect for classical  sculpture, Ren Zhe's warriors and servants are powerful in spirit.
 
Ren Zhe, a young artist from China, is new to the Australian market and definitely one to watch - Art Melbourne LOVES.

"Some figures are quiet, some introverted, some romantic, and some graceful. They present not only masculinity, righteousness and pioneering spirit, but also romance, poetic flavor, loftiness and other aesthetic connotations." Huang Du, Curator of Admire the Sculptures of Ren Zhe
