Thirteen 05 is a boutique gallery in Daylesford, Victoria, founded in 2017 by Emma McAdam-Marmont and Struan Hopwood. The gallery showcases a dynamic mix of their own distinctive works alongside a curated selection of contemporary Australian artists. Emma and Struan’s art invites deep connection, exploring themes of memory, identity, and emotion. Their work has found homes in private and corporate collections around the world, from the United States to the United Kingdom, Singapore, Germany, Switzerland, New Zealand, and South Africa.
Emma’s art is defined by her intimate exploration of the human figure, capturing emotion and movement through textured, layered compositions. Her “Bodies” series evokes dynamic energy, with figures that suggest both fluidity and emotional depth. Each piece is a celebration of the human form, inviting the viewer to connect on a personal level. Emma’s use of palette knives, spatulas, and sponges adds a tactile quality to her paintings, encouraging both visual and physical engagement. In her “Suits” series, she explores the evolution of corporate attire, intricately depicting fabric, buttons, and stitching to reflect shifts in identity across generations and genders.
Struan’s art is a vibrant fusion of street art, pop culture, and contemporary illustration. Known for his bold colour, spray paint techniques, and intricate line work, Struan’s pieces evoke both energy and emotion. His work often incorporates references to manga, digital culture, and nostalgic pop elements, creating a sense of gritty urban expression and joyful reflection. Struan’s iconic skulls, stylised flora and fauna, and graphic portraits connect deeply with viewers, blending personal expression with cultural influences. Together, Emma and Struan’s collaborative works bring their individual styles into an exciting new realm. Their joint pieces combine Emma’s emotive, figurative approach with Struan’s vibrant, urban energy, resulting in artworks that are bold, dynamic, and ever-evolving.
