BORN ON THE STREET

A COLLECTOR'S VIEW

From the  ‘Sandrew’ Collection

A highlight of the 2017 Wall to Wall Festival was the curated exhibition titled ‘Born on the street’ showcasing a collection of artworks by two of Australia’s most prominent street artists, Rone and Adnate.   Long-time supporters of the Australian street art community, Sandra Powell and Andrew King curated this exhibition from their personal collection for the Benalla Art Gallery.

The exhibition told the story of a journey between the artist and the collector; Sandra and Andrew, aka SANDREW, play an active support role in both artist’s careers and the works in this exhibition are from their collection from their rebellious beginnings on the streets of Melbourne, Rone and Adnate attribute SANDREW with helping to guide them and launch their highly-successful art careers in Australia and throughout the world.
