TwoOne “So Far”

A short review by Sean.

After his first successful solo exhibition, 1000 cans, TwoOne has returned with a vast, equally ambitious and exciting body of work for his new show “So Far”.

Filling the entire gallery space are hanging installation works of various size and shape, all with painted motifs of god-like animals, patterns and bones. Instantly you are drawn into the mysterious teachings of TwoOne’s gritty spirituality and there is a sense of wandering through a hallucination. There is beauty and warmth in the earthy tones of paint, flow in the playful lines and forms of the gesturing animals and figures, and a curious contrast in the triangle shaped boards and compartments that house metal parts and images of bones, spines and skulls.

As if on the road to seeking an East-Asian old world spiritual deity, “So Far” exhibits TwoOne’s discoveries thus far.  A massive dream catching satellite dish channels thoughts and visions to the walls as clinical compartmentalised boxes. Each is made of found wood and board, discarded and or used skateboard parts, wire and bottles of noxious liquids. Everything that was used along the road now becomes part of his spiritual collections. Skate trucks become a spine, a tense wire becomes a sinewy tendon, worn down wheels form the cells of travel weary flesh. There is something very fragile and human about it all. Each object been chosen, categorized and enshrined with a painted animal, looking over or intertwining with the object like a guardian protecting sacred treasure.

TwoOne’s exhibition “So Far” is currently showing at he No Vacancy gallery, off Jane Bell Ave. 3rd Level QV building until 27th September.
