Contemporary Spotlight
BK Ku
BK Ku is a talented artist from the Blue Mountains whose work is deeply influenced by his Korean heritage. He incorporates Hanji - a traditional Korean paper made from mulberry tree bark - into his artistic practice, creating pieces rich in texture and meaning.
A hallmark of BK’s work is his recurring use of the sun and the fluid, elegant lines of fish, adding depth and a sense of movement to his compositions.
BK’s abstract landscapes are bold yet exude a gentle, tactile quality, showcasing his distinct style.
His latest floral works take a different direction, featuring soft, abstract blooms infused with his signature sun motif and layered colour changes.

Australian Historical Spotlight
Albert Henry Fullwood (1863-1930)
A H Fullwood was an artist, trained in art in his native Birmingham before moving to Sydney in 1883, aged 20. He soon gained employment with the Picturesque Atlas of Australia, travelling a great deal to produce exactly the kind of illustration the publication required. He became part of the group of Sydney painters that included Roberts and Streeton, living at Sirius Cove for a time. Becoming friendly with Livingston Hopkins, he developed his etching practice. According to some sources, he signed his Bulletin cartoons Remus; others state that his friends gave him the nickname, on account of his entertaining storytelling. He was one of the founding members of the Society of Artists.
