I just saw the Ricky Swallows exhibition at the National Gallery Of Victoria in Melbourne and was not at all prepared for the level of awesomeness... each sculpture had incredible life-like detail... truly unbelievable. His watercolors also blew me away... wood still life's + watercolors = my fave! definitely one of the most impressive, stunning art shows I've seen.
