Infinite Nature
Event concluded on 8th August, 2010
Gorker Gallery
395 Gore Street, Fitzroy, 3065, Victoria, Australia
Gorker Gallery and Element are proud to present Infinite Nature, an exhibition of new works and the first Melbourne solo exhibition by Sydney based artist Beastman. Influenced by the beauty and symbolism behind nature’s repetitive geometric patterns and its eternal struggle against man-made adversities, Beastman\'s tightly detailed, symmetrical paintings depict a parallel world of hope and survival inhabited by his scaly-skinned, beastlike yet beautiful and emotive characters. Gripped by fear, anger, stress, confusion and paranoia, these instantly recognisable and loveable creatures reflect human nature and the everyday burdens and struggles of life that mankind so easily and continuously finds itself lost in. Beauty. Battle. Death. Repeat. This is Infinite Nature.
Founder and editor of the Australian online art publication [weAREtheIMAGEmakers], Beastman has exhibited extensively throughout Australia, as well as London, Berlin and New Zealand, he has curated and organised numerous art exhibitions and events, and has designed skateboards and graphics for various brands including Element, Folklore and Mingo Lamberti. With features in publications such as Empty, Tees, Deadbeat, Oyster, Spitpress, Australian Creative and more, and a recent profile on ABC’s Rush TV, you can be sure this won’t be the last you’ll see of Beastman, one of the most distinctive, prolific and hardest working emerging artists in Australia.
