01. BEN SULLIVAN
Showcasing a selection of works, collected throughout his career, 32-year-old Perth born, Sydney based award winning photographer Ben Sullivan represents the lifestyle that defines the Children Of The R.Evolution theme. Prestigious contemporary art magazine, Artlink, believes that "Sullivan has a great eye and his photographs lift the normality of their subject matter into an antagonistic space". Featuring a motley crew of misfits; surfers, skaters, musicians, artists, fashionistas, whomever they are; Sullivan's work sits at the forward edge of youth fashion, leading the visual charge for GEN Y.

02. BEN BARRETTO
Bringing his infamous 'art machine' and letting it unleash on an unsuspecting crowd, 25-year-old Perth installation artist and skateboarder Ben Barretto channels his artistic flair through his man-made art contraption like no other. Producing exceptional work by letting his art machine physically produce the art, Barretto (who is currently completing his Art degree at Curtin University) has the ability to capture an unforeseen attention from his audience all the time mesmerising them with his artistic tweak and subconsciously making them bower down to its magnificence. The oddity of his work represents a new age, and that makes him very much a part of the Children Of The R.Evolution.

03. KARLEE MACKIE
When given the chance to be 'live in action', 26-year-old Lennox Head painter come activist Karlee Mackie turns on her best, wowing her audience with each stroke of her paint brush. Utilising a variety of mediums Mackie's work depicts femininity at its most powerful, all the time empowering a distinct wisdom upon her subject matter. Constantly involved in all forms of activism (be it saving the whales to working with underprivileged children), Mackie is constant in her artistic nature and is very much her own Children Of The R.Evolution.
