Desert Psychedelic: JIMMY PIKE

Posted May 4th, 2009 by kath_red

Produced at the height of the [Australian] Indigenous cultural renaissance, Jimmy Pike’s designs were vivid, dynamic and groundbreaking in their use of non-traditional colours. This exhibition [at Artisan gallery, Brisbane], featuring Pike’s original prints, textile lengths and the garments produced from his fabric designs, offers a chance to celebrate Jimmy Pike’s unique talent and to revisit some spectacular fashion from the eighties and nineties.
