Having grown up in Sydney‘s Lower North Shore, artist Annalisa Ferraris knows a thing or two about urban disintegration and all the intriguing visual flaws that come with it. The National Art School graduate was initially drawn to the arts for its allowed rebellion and freedom of rigidity, and takes cues from a diverse range of topics, ranging from minimalist architecture and shitty motels, to abandoned buildings and bars. It has been a little while ago since Ferraris got her first solo show at China Heights in Sydney, but as the gallery has struck a long-term collab with Room 13, the quirky exhibition space at boutique hotel The Slow on Bali, she gets to do it all over again in a tropical yet fitting setting. The exhibition opens Sat – Jun 16 (7PM) in attendance of the artist, and presents a series of canvases that depict empty swimming pools, abandoned brutalist buildings, and still-life scenes of stubbed-out cigarettes.

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
