The last 2 months I have been secretly working away on a collection of paintings. Im now to proud to announce my next solo exhibition at 19Karen Gallery in the Goldcoast.
My collection is called “Outside Infinity”

The exhibition opening is 31st of July. 6-8pm

19Karen Gallery
19 Karen Ave, Mermaid Beach Queensland

Artist Statement.

I have always been intrigued with the Buddhist belief of reincarnation and the continuation of your soul in another lifetime. The concept behind ‘Outside Infinity’ explores the notion of the infinite abyss known as the universe, contrasted with the fragility of our life. In the fabric of time, our existence would be compared to a speck of dust. Not even. My core focus is to portray the journey of the conscious human life and the subconscious connection with elements such as fate, time, the dream-world and reality. I like the idea that your soul could actually be made up of many different lives that connected throughout the ages. The dream world could be your existence in a parallel universe, and vice versa. Although this exhibition is a personal journey of my core beliefs, I have intentionally left doors wide open for the viewer’s interpretation and personal reflection on their own life. Does everything happen for a reason? How long does forever last for? How many lifetimes have I seen? Was I at the beginning? I think so. We all were.

Some background on the piece.

Cyanide poisoning and explosives are used to catch coral reef saltwater fish and live coral for the hobbyist, marine pet trade across many parts of the world. Leaving reef wastelands and causing destruction to the natural habitat of the coral reef. Most, if not all, saltwater fish sold in aquariums are live caught from the wild. Live rock, created by centuries of coral polyps, is also chipped from reefs in the wild.

10% of sales of this limited edition A3 print “SHRIMP” 1/15 will be donated to the Great Barrier Reef Foundation. http://www.barrierreef.org/
