Yesterday we got to sneak into the Sydney Contemporary before the crowds to view some of some of the 85 galleries representing over 400 artists from Australia and around the world. 

To say we were impressed is an understatement. There was one piece of art in particular that I really, really wanted which also just happened to be the price of my entire savings balance. My mum taught me that if I wanted something it was always best to sit on it for a week before buying but I just know this piece of art is going to sell and I’ll be dreaming of it for the rest of my life. I can’t tell you why, out of the hundreds of pieces of work, this was the one that I gravitated towards the most but it was incredible, moving and all the right colours. I guess that’s why art is so special because everyone loves different things but the difficulty in articulating why is the part that we have in common. While we aren’t art critics by any stretch of the imagination, we are definitely trying to lean into our art side a little more lately at Monster Children - and this is our pick of the artists, both emerging and established, that stood out.
