Above (l-r) Rene Lawler, Masahiro Asaka, Brenden Scott French & Tevita Havea catch a break following the extended studio modelling session.
It was eye-candy central at the ANU School of Art on Monday when the curator’s pick of the spunkiest blokes in glass sacrificed their long weekend to come together for a sizzling photographic session with super funky photographer Rene Lawler – in preparation for their Hunks of Glass show, which is already shaping up to be a highlight of the Canberra Ausglass conference next January.
We can’t give too much away, but suffice to say that these guys wouldn’t look out of place in a European fashion mag. Pure punk chic – and then some.
Meanwhile, mark the exhibition on your dance card. It’ll be a stand-out, that’s for sure.
Hunks of Glass:
Featuring the work of emerging studio glass artists Tevita Havea, Brenden Scott French and Masahiro Asaka, Hunks of Glass is an exhibition that celebrates the integrity of genuine artistic compulsion in an era of institutionalized conceit and promotional contrivance. [No irony! n(Ed)]
Curated by Megan Bottari, the exhibition runs from 23rd January – 3rd February, with an official opening on Friday 25thth Jan, from 8-9.30pm. Gallery hours: Wed-Sunday, 12 midday-5pm. ANCA Gallery, 1 Rosevear Place, Dickson, 2602.
