– B – A – R – Paul Moncrieff

Art + Design

– B – A – R – commemorates 100 years of the Armistice of World War I with large scale paintings that reference the 3 Gang Medal Ribbon Bar that all Australian troops were issued with to denote their inclusion and attendance in the major theatres of the war. This exhibition was commissioned by the Vancouver Arts Centre as part of a series marking the Armistice Centenary.

Paul Moncrieff has been exhibiting since 1978 and his work is held by a considerable number of major public and private Australian collections. In this time he has held more than 20 solo, 10 shared and innumerable group exhibitions. He has curated several thematic exhibitions. Until 2007 he was the coordinator of the Painting and Drawing programme at Edith Cowan University, Western Australia. Moncrieff’s studio work evolves directly from observed and experienced incidents which metamorphose in the studio into designed and made art objects. Recently, his practice has been non objective – formal juxtapositions of shaped and painted industrial surfaces. He lives at Kent River on the south coast of WA., where he has built and designed his house, studio, and workshop. He continues to develop and evolve his art practice.

* You can check out Paul’s website made by Super Minimal right here.

Centre for Stories

Websites

A new website for Centre for Stories is in the works here at Super Minimal.. such an inspiring and interesting project to be working on.

The Centre is a place where stories are told, shared, and kept. They also run workshops and events where people from all walks of life can learn the craft of storytelling.

Who doesn’t have a story to share?

Robert Götzfried’s Bowling Alleys

Art + Design

Who would have known that Germany is full of old skool bowling alleys! Designer and photographer Robert Götzfried has snapped a bunch in Southern Deutschland.   The sport was a massive hit during the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, so these alleys are a relic of retro genius gone by.

As they say though – It’s not how you bowl, it’s how you roll!

Harper’s Food Market

Websites

On the way out of Fremantle along South St you’ll find Harper’s. Run by siblings Jess and Greg along with their dad Craig, the shop is a cosy modern hub of activity offering fresh food, flowers, lunches and coffee.

Margaret River Press

Websites

Introducing the brand new MRP website!

This project was so sweet to work on – inspiring content and a detailed brief to create something clean, modern and totally user friendly.

As an independent publisher Margaret River Press required an online store for their books with a seamless check-out experience. A News section, Author Directory and Events pages were also in the mix.
