Lunch with Mat McHugh and Guido Maestri

Lunch with Mat McHugh and Guido Maestri

We join our musician man-crush and the Archibald-winning artiste extraordinaire for some horse play for high achievers In this case it secures the create space of Guido (Guy) Maestri, who was until earlier this year a very talented and well-selling, but little known artist. That was until one not so small painting of musician Gurrumul Yunupingu saw him take out this country's most famous art prize, the Archibald. Joining him for catch-ups this afternoon is one of his ol' mates Mr Mat McHugh - core of the Beautiful Girls and master of his own solo project.

This meeting of man-minds and hearts takes place in a big open warehouse space in the Sydney suburb of Chippendale, right in the hood. It's secured by a typically non-descript steel gate, one of many in this busy run-down stretch that leaves you questioning the little universe beyond.
