Opening reception Saturday, August 9th, 7-11pm Starting with large-scale throw ups and pieces on almost every street in Sydney, Mark Whalen – the artist better known as Kill Pixie - earned his craft by working while you were awake and continued after you had gone to bed. With themes of futuristic lost cultures and extrasensory communication Mark’s work imploded becoming so detailed and intensified that worlds were opening up inside worlds. From a throw-up executed in seconds his current pieces on box mounted paper in inks, acrylics and watercolour take weeks to complete. The detailed line work is so precise and intricate that it can take hours just to look at it. - Joseph Allen Cleon Peterson is an LA based graphic artist whose chaotic and violent paintings show clashing figures symbolize a struggle between power and submission in the fluctuating architecture of contemporary society. Peterson’s most recent body of work focuses on multi-panel installations of obscure and anxiety-ridden scenes of anonymous death and brutality.
