'The Absence Of Man' is an exhibition by Twoone and Thomas Jackson, two artists well known to the Melbourne street art scene. although exhibiting along side each other for many years, this is the first exhibition these acclaimed artists have done exclusively together.
Both artists use an abstract touch of nature to take you to a new world where nature has retaken the world, and the absence of man is seen by the decrepit remains of old buildings and natural regrowth. These artists choice of colours and attention to detail make it easy for the viewer to disappear into the world they have created. the framing of their work almost makes you believe they are looking through a window into this strange and beautiful world. these two artists fascination of the ‘found’ and ‘mans need to build’, mixed with a love of nature has really come through in this body of work. in the absence of man, nature will take over.
Opening friday 10 September 2010 6-9pm and continuing until 12 September at China Heights Gallery, Level 3, 16-28 foster st, surry hills (sydney). more info here - www.chinaheights.com
