Sobrane Simocky artist and trail blazer. Brings her unique story alive; her vibrancy naturally carries through her art to public speaking. Having a successful owner operated gallery for many years Sobrane has branched out into Silo and Street Art... bringing out the painter, public speaker and persona that lets her connect with big and small audiences; both inspiring and relatable. Sobrane must paint and paint big, seemingly unburdened by pattern or design. Like breath to lungs. Effortless and essential. Sobrane is internationally recognised with exhibitions held in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Italy. She has completed walls in Soriano, Italy, Broome, Victoria, Western Australia and Tasmania.
Sobrane completed her second exhibition in Hong Kong with the Asia Contemporary Art Show as part of Hong Kong's Art Month and held her first solo exhibition in Rome at MaTer Gallery which saw her gain press coverage as far reaching as Iraq Daily News. In January 2019, Sobrane held a 3 month exhibition in Sydney with a studio setup overlooking Whale Beach. This was a very productive time leading into a trip to Africa and on to the Serengeti. She has completed residencies in Beijing and Malaysia and has regular exhibitions around Australia.
Gallery Sobrane now has moved from Broome to Mount Barker, in the Mountain Country of the Great Southern region of Western Australia, showcasing Sobrane's unique works. The gallery is run by a team of very talented staff and you will regularly see Sobrane, as she has her studio out the back.
Her gallery is as unique as her artwork, Sobrane has retrofitted the old Westpac Bank, including breaking through the strongroom, creating a T-Shirt store with the old safes, and the hand painted floor from Broome sets the scene to showcase her huge range of tees.
Street artist without borders. Global installations and exhibits have brought the travelling creative force to the fore. Its not entirely movement; the country on the journey Inspires as it does delight her. Bringing the commitment of presence to every situation and person she meets, an excellent orator, not so much hearing her audience but feeling them . A kind of deep listening. Sympatico in her genius; leaving those she has spoken with, a feeling of being heard.
