#40: UNTRUE

Image is the cover of TSR’s issue #40 ‘Untrue’, overlaid on background imagery of a grainy photograph of a dark sky with sparks from a fire in motion.

False, fabricated, and fallacious: there’s more than meets the eye in The Suburban Review #40 UNTRUE.

#39: CLIMATE

Image is TSR’s issue #39 ‘CLIMATE’ overlaid on a background. The cover is a painting of two crabs in portrait orientation, facing one another from above and below. Their front pincers meet at the centre, as if they’re holding hands. It is painted in an expressive style, streaked with warm tones of pink, yellow, orange, and brown. The background is awash in the same colour palette, giving the impression that the crabs are lazing about on a warm, sunny day. Bright yellow flecks on their backs come to the fore, appearing like dappled sunlight. The background image is a textured gravelly surface, like bushland dirt. It has a bright aquamarine green tint to it, though some of the rocks in the dirt do not have this filter and are white, creating a speckled look to the background and giving an illusion of looking through sunlit clear water in a creekbed.

What’s the forecast? The Suburban Review is heating up for issue #39: CLIMATE.
