Art Babes To Follow

5 ‘It’ girl painters and makers to get you inspired.

Picasso had his breton stripes and Georgia O’Keefe had her kimonos. The style of a creative mind never fails to be intriguing. Sometimes their signature aesthetics can be just as satisfying to look at as their painted canvas. From obsessions to practicality, the artist’s fashion statement is always riddled with eclectic meaning. We’ve creeped out the coolest insta-it girls of the art world to see what lights up their world.

Jordana Joan, Painter

This surfer mama makes paintings that wash you in warmth. Blissful brushstrokes in colours of blush and terracotta. She makes art that feels like her sunlit fluid life in Byron Bay. Her creative combo of splattered paint, baby on hip and vans is the ultimate expression of an empowered woman to follow.

Christiane Spangsberg, Painter

Elegant squiggles. Her Picasso-esque scrawl in thick black curves has played muse to t-shirts and earrings. Giving Christiane cult status. With her strawberry blonde bob just so, gold hoops and her oversized white button-up shirt, she is the essence of minimalist style. She's a Sydney native at heart but has been following her works around the world as they get showcased in the most happening of cities. London, Paris, NY (all sold out).

Tara Burke, Ceramicist

Bright blossoms and wonky vases. A steady-stream of tactile clay vessels made by Tara’s hand. Big hugging handles. Shiny gold ones. Strange flute-like shapes. It’s her spin on imperfection that really makes this precious household art one-of-a-kind. And she’s got a knack for shooting these creations DIY with taped-up paper and fruit snacks nearby. Her insta curation is almost art itself.

Bobby B. Clark, Painter and photographer

Always in her denim, this Melbourne-based artist got her street cred when Solange Knowles contacted her by insta to feature in an exhibition she was curating for the Guggenheim, NYC. Romantic sigh. Her abstract burgundy shapes are now spotted in many an influencer’s abode. But we're currently loving her fresh burst of blue works she’s just shared.

Kitty Callaghan, Collagist and photographer

Whether at home in Sydney or Paris, this multi-media guru is out-of-this-world cool. She shoots, she paints, she cuts, she scans, she dreams. Her work has been featured in glossies like RUSSH, Elle and Harper’s Bazaar and her quirky collection of frames is to die for.
