On November 20th, source and Insight opened the Garage Artist Exhibition featuring works from Insight Creative Director Steve Gorrow. With support from beer sponsor Vedett and music provided by Kami, source guests rocked, danced and skated into the evening. The centerpiece of the exhibition was a skate ramp painted by Steve Gorrow only a week earlier. Two riders gave a live skate performance to start the evening. source guests walked away with some ink from Insight...check the photos below!

- An Australian creative powerhouse, Steve Gorrow is one of the masterminds behind some of the best cam...paigns the fashion industry has ever seen. He has simultaneously created energized, vital imagery whilst elevating the status of ad campaigns to cultural commentaries and collectible artworks. Gorrow’s style, coined ‘Garage Art’ is intrinsically linked to popular culture and is infused with street art motifs. Iconic artists like Jean Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol, Kozik, Roy Lichtenstein and Raymond Pettibon fill Gorrow’s head and walls. His imagery navigates the world of fine art, fashion, music, pop, graphic novels, surfing, cinema, political propaganda, cyberspace and celebrity culture and does so with a self conscious revelry which is hard to resist. Despite their immediacy and visual impact, the playful images also reveal a darker socio-political undercurrent, drawing attention to social inequities, commercial pressures and the myth of the artist in the contemporary world.
