We were staying at the Macq01 Hotel across the street getting ready for a hike when I decided to pop into this little art gallery. Art Mob focuses on aboriginal artists and art work and I was stunned to see they had quite the collection inside. Unfortunately their space is much too small to display the immense amount of wonderful art work inside however this space is strategically placed to allow for a lot of foot traffic.
Over my stay here, I ended up getting several pieces both from aboriginal artists local to Tasmania. One piece by Julian Oates is a wonderful modern piece that doesn't come much with the artist's own interpretation but clearly includes elements of aboriginal style. His brother, Reuben Oates, also paints and I ended up getting a couple of paintings from him as well featuring more classic aboriginal style with Australian native fauna.
Euan is the gallery director and is extremely accommodating. For those not local, you can purchase from the website and then have it shipped anywhere. We of course were having it shipped to the US and they will package it all up for us with minimal costs. Some artists are happy to take commissioned art pieces so if something strikes your fancy but it's sold already, get in touch with Euan who can help you get what you want! Wish I had a few more days to browse the collection but alas all great things come to an end. Look forward to my next trip to Tasmania so I can stop by again!
