WINDMILL THEATRE COMPANY Artists: Jonathon Oxlade and Vans the Omega (Joel Moore) Vans the Omega: Based mostly, but not always, in Adelaide, Vans the Omega has been creating and paining for more than 2 decades. His influences include architecture, ancient scripts, engineering, nature, as well as the idea of movement and balance. He has experience in a number of disciplines, including design, photography, and clothing, and used all his influence to create works that continue to push the boundaries and satisfy his desire to reinvent and perfect his craft. Today Vans is renowned for his diverse use of mediums, colour palettes and styles including portraiture, geometric pattern and traditional graffiti lettering. As one of Australia’s most influential street artists, Vans the Omega is often credited as a pioneer of both the local and international graffiti scene. However, despite his godfather status within the industry, Vans is an extremely grounded person. Radiating positivity, his mission in life is simply to better himself as a person and as an artist, which are by no means mutually exclusive, with what has been given. Jonathon Oxlade: Jonathon is an artist and set designer, designing entire worlds for characters to inhabit, and is currently based in Adelaide. He has worked with venues and festivals such as Adelaide Fringe, Adelaide Festival, Out of the Box, The Brisbane Festival, The Sydney Opera House, and Windmill Theatre. He studied Illustration and Sculpture at the Queensland College of Art, but as he says, he ‘never got that bit of paper, because he was too busy cutting up bits of paper’. Windmill Theatre recently transformed the eastern wall of their new office and studio in Sturt Street with a highly visual and public mural, complete with moving windmills and slender planter boxes. They commissioned resident artist and designer Jonathon Oxlade to conceive the vision for the site alongside experienced street and mural artist Vans the Omega (Joel Moore). This mural was made possible with the support of Arts SA, Adelaide City Council and Renewal SA. 02. JAMES MUSIC Artist: Order 55 (Seb Humphreys) Seb (Order 55) is an Adelaide based graffiti artist with 15 years of experience, specialising in large scale mural projects. He has always been intrigued by the relationship between geometric forms and the growth patterns within nature, and attempts to find an aesthetic balance between the two is the basis for his work. Seb Humphreys took on the moniker ‘Order’ in 2000, as his journey of style development originated with letter experimentation and the integration of subtle and complex forms tied to the name Order. Bringing vibrant life to urban environments, Seb’s aerosol murals transform boring, ugly walls into spaces filled with fun, colour and vitality. Many of his graffiti-inspired murals focus on different ways of representing nature and its complexities, showing us new ways of looking at our world with each work. 03. VIETNAMESE LAUNDRY Artist: Ella Simpson – InkandRubyStudios Ella Simpson is an Adelaide based artist and sign writer under the name of InkAndRubyStudios. Inspired by bold colour and fashion design, Ella’s works are raw, beautiful, vulnerable, and feminine. Her latest works move towards abstract pieces, focusing on fluid lines, more subtle pastel colours, and organic shapes. Vietnamese Laundry is already one of the most talked about murals in central Adelaide, the vibrant mix of geometric paper planes and traditional portrait, blends black and white with a full palette of colour for artist Ella Simpson’s first step into the street art world. Usually an artist more familiar with canvas, she took on the work in March 2015 while pregnant with her daughter Evie. “They (owners of Vietnamese Laundry) approached me to paint something for them and I wanted it to be bold, colourful and eye-catching, so people would stop and look as they went passed,” she said. “I loved painting it! I use traditional paintbrushes rather than aerosol. I would love to do more in the future!” 04.

She got involved in the street art subculture when she was in high school, starting with photographing pieces, sketching, and devouring any media – from TV to magazines.

07. CNR STAFFORD & OWEN STArtist: Fredrock (Fred Roldan)
For Fredrock’s bio, see #04
“The owners asked the council to put a tender out to artists to do something here… They wanted their dogs, and the kangaroos that used to be here on the Adelaide Plains. Obviously it (the city) has been developed, so that’s why I did these urban kangaroos, and they loved it. I started drawing on paper and then I would go from A4, to A3 and then to A2 and canvases, then out to the street.
I never really liked the whole gallery scene because it was only for a select few… I think art, if it’s going to be appreciated, should be appreciated by everybody. It’s all about adding culture to the city. Making people’s day. Finding colour in unexpected places. It’s so the everyday person going down the street can feel a bit more… Vibrant.”
08. STAFFORD ST CARPARKArtist: Vans the Omega Title: Forever Katherine Project Partner: Building owner/resident. This project was supported through the Adelaide City Council’s Arts and Cultural Grants Program.

Kate Gagliardi has a background in illustration, something that is the starting point for much of her work and an obvious strength. Her work features female faces and figures, with her new work showing an emergence of animals, following the trend in art that seeks to covet the natural world as its fragility become ever more apparent.

He expresses his talent through various techniques – from graffiti to illustration and fine art.
