Creepy Cute
Cohen Gum and Minnette Michael
Opening 6-8pm, Wednesday 6th July
Concludes 31st July 2011

Adelaide artists Cohen Gum and Minnette Michael will be presenting their newest designs in a colourful exhibition of illustrations, jewellery, objects, furniture and accessories at Urban Cow Studio in July.

Titled Creepy Cute, this exhibition includes the latest collection of Cohen's illustrations of happy, colourful and quirky little creatures that are often just a little bit creepy. Using detailed line work and a deliriously vibrant colour scheme, Cohen has created an original and memorable set of characters that leave you in a delightedly confused stupor. "Cartoons like Invader Zim, Rocko's Modern Life and Aaahh!!! Real Monsters have always been a huge influence on my style of work," Cohen says. "There is something wonderful about creepy little characters that can snap almost instantly into an enraged psychotic frenzy... I just love that element of surprise and the sheer zany nature of it."

Inspired by Cohen's illustrations (and her love of nanna crafts), Minnette has created an adorable new range of jewellery including rings bangles and cufflinks. "For Creepy Cute, I have taken a different approach to designing and making these pieces," Minnette explains. "In addition to using materials that I haven't worked with before such as brass, rubber, wool and glass, I have also employed a variety of processes that are new to me; some jewellery, some craft and some industry."
