Huseyin Sami, 'Paint Pile #5', 2008
Eating crayons and sticking your fingers together with PVA might have been OK in primary school, but what happens when you're all grown up and still experimenting? Sydney-based artist Huseyin Sami likes to throw paint everywhere, wait for it to dry, and then roll it up into big statues.
A quick looksee into the gallery reveals a DIY showcase of house paint and pegboards. Strips of dried paint hang like liquorice laces from tinfoil chandeliers, whilst overindulgent excesses of glossy, sorbet colour are piled atop timber plinths. 'Painting Machine No 6' spans the height of the FAC staircase, presenting its underside of mini-paint stalactites like vegemite pushed through Vita Wheats. Drip painting goes art attack, leaving us somewhere between formal practice and a kindergarten science experiment.

About
SixThousand is a subcultural guide to Perth, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Perth writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence SixThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
