Gasps of girly happiness and dreamy awakening! Audrey Kawasaki is having her first Australian exhibition next month at Outré Gallery.
Audrey has carved a niche with her perfected visions of exotic Lolita delicacies. With a touch of whimsical lightness and moments of art nouveau stylistic flourishes - her main game is young ladies with flirtatious overtones.
I doubt that people ever thought they would like tones of beige so much - but Audrey's amazing eye for getting things perfectly right has proved that beige can be sexy.
Brilliantly ethereal. Her characters drift into existence often disembodied or as if through the veils of misty reality. Missing limbs. Floating heads. These ladies are from a ghost world.
Five Audrey facts:
1. She's a fan of Gemma Ward.
2. She has Ouija Board above her desk.
3. She is super shy.
4. She has lopsided eyes.
5. Her print runs are so popular they have been known to sell out in one minute.
