From Queensland via Berlin and East Coast Australia, Georg Whelan has made it down to Melbourne with his solo show “Brown Magic.” Heavily informed by the artist’s travels and verging on documentary, this show takes influence from both the mundane and the extreme – be it bums, business men, advertising, the internet, high art or tags in suburban kebab shop bathrooms. With the aim to incorporate real life as much as possible while ‘capturing the rhythm of the world in order to respond to it’ Georg’s hyper-reality, layered with myth and false narrative, brings attention to contrasts in contemporary human life that are often blurred.
