I very much enjoy pleasant yet awkward watercolours by artists with skills closer to the illustration/design side of life. Ex de Medici comes from New South Wales somewhere and works with performance, installation, tattooing, photography, painting and drawing. I am particularly interested in the watercolours. Del Kathryn Barton also makes beautiful watercolour images, usually slightly unnervingly cute portraits. She recently won the Archibald Prize, which I'm sure was just great. They are both obviously suffering from what most of us underachievers would like to call obsessive compulsive disorder. Both have odd symbolism riddling it's way into the otherwise cute images. Both are excellent artist. Following is four Ex de Medici images and then four Del Kathryn Barton images.
