POP UP GALLERY: NO VACANCY SINGAPORE}: [Thurs 19th MARCH 2009]
GHOSTPAROL AND NIOR

No Vacancy will be setting up a Pop Up Art gallery in Singapore over March. The first of its kind in Singapore. Finding an empty space and transforming it into a gallery. The reason of establishing No Vacancy Singapore was to give Melbourne Artists an opportunity and avenue to gain exposure throughout Asia. We hope this will help promote the Australian art scene to a wider audience and promote Australian artists.

We have invited 2 Melbourne based artists to help launch No Vacancy, Singapore:

Nior:
Born in the hills of Melbourne, Nior’s characters are influenced by the native creatures he sees
everyday and what he finds in his imagination.

He began putting his artwork around the streets in 2004 and since then, has refined his characters
and transformed them into many hairy shapes and sizes. Nior had his first solo show with No
Vacancy this year to a sell-out show. His amazing talent and skills have developed over the years
and sees him as one of Melbourne’s best artists.

Ghostpatrol:
A self taught artist residing in Melbourne, Ghostpatrol has established himself worldwide as a
respected exhibiting artist and active street artist.

In the past few years he has exhibited in Manchester, Vienna, Berlin, Los Angeles, San Francisco and
Barcelona.

His versatile style floats between fine line ink work, acrylics on wood and spray paint murals. Through
his work he explores child like memories with a twist of hidden evil.

His recent solo at Metro 5 gallery in Melbourne coincided with his first book release “Book Format”.
Together these artists complement each other and have a great appreciation for each others work.
Both have a their own unique and individual style that when put together complements their work.
Their collaboration pieces are truly breathtaking, and think that Singapore is in for a huge treat with
these 2 artists coming over to Singapore.
