ABOUT 140 The multi-million dollar transformation of 140 is underway and expected to be completed in 2014. Food, art and fashion will collide at the new 140, a dynamic destination that will become the city’s most happening urban precinct. Original laneways will link boutiques, cafes, restaurants, take-away shops and bars making 140 one of Perth’s most creative urban destinations.
Twelve of Australia’s top street artists and illustrators are set to reinvent one of Australia’s newest urban precincts with 140ART, a temporary exhibition transforming the walls and windows of 140. Nationally recognised artists including Phibs, Andy Quilty, Anya Brock, Amok and Pip McManus will exhibit alongside emerging local artists, each using a shopfront or wall as a larger-than-life canvas. The twelve artists will each take inspiration from the shopfront or space they’re re-imagining to create a unique piece that will be on display for three months as part of the exhibition. For example, The Aviary will feature Anya Brock’s budgerigar’s, Nando’s windows will be decorated with images of the Barcelos rooster, and Iku Sushi will come alive with a mural inspired by the sea. Styles will range from street and aerosol art to stencilling, hand drawn illustrations and acrylic works. Artists will create their works live on-site and the exhibition will be on between 2 Nov to 31 Jan for all to enjoy.

CONCEPT FOR 140ART Boin returns to his street-art roots, using aerosols to produce a traditional 2-D style of lettering with realistic 3-D elements brought in over two windows of the 140ART Globe Building.
JOSEPH BOIN

artbydestroy.com.au/bio.htm Street artist turned fine artist. From graffiti to designing, airbrushing to tattooing and illustrations, self-taught street artist Joseph Boin pushes the boundaries of his craft. More recently, the Perth artist changed tracks, tackling traditional brush painting and fine arts. His works are vivid and arresting and always changing; sometimes they’re dark and moody, other times they’re light-hearted with detail.
