Kelly Thompson’s geek girls

Written by Paul Hayes @ Kollektor

Geek girls are hot because there’s nothing sexier than brains. For every geek girl who spent her formative years buckling down with school books before blossoming into a smart woman comes Kelly Thompson’s new suite of drawings. They’re being exhibited from tomorrow night at Melbourne’s Gorker Gallery under the title Bookworms Never Go to Bed Alone.

They remind me of Alberto Vargas’ famous Varga Girls, with a 21st century attitude. In a digital world where the geeks reign supreme, these women are both sexy and empowered. The works are drawn on recycled card with coloured pencils, recoloured in Photoshop and then printed as giclées. Besides her superb illustrations, Thompson is also a talented fashion photographer.

Bookworms Never Go to Bed Alone is on show at the Gorker Gallery (395 Gore St, cnr Gore and Kerr Sts, Fitzroy) from 2 to 19 July.
