So Far, the second solo show by Two One, one of Melbourne’s leading artist will be officially launching tomorrow night at No Vacancy.

And seeing as collectors and fans alike gearing up for what will no doubt be another awesome collection, I shot a short interview at Two so as to catch up with the Japanese/Melbourne artists and get some information on what to expect.

People still talk about your debut show, The 1000 Can show, which was nearly 2 years ago, what have you been working in the time between.

Just after the 1000 can show I was invited to the No Vacancy gallery opening show and after that I was involved in even more group shows while working on few murals, installations and commission paintings.

I’ve also been working on performance project Lo2’s Fleet with Elf Tranzpoter. I did live paint, destroy, recreating, and sound performance. Painted some walls in Thailand as well with some locals.   It has been very busy.

How does “So Far” relate to the “1000 Can Show”?

I’m not sure how it’s relating, but I know I couldn’t do “So Far” if I didn’t do “1000 Can show”. The first show made me able to think bigger scale, and to think that it is possible to get better if you put mind in to it.

As you’ve said before allot of the inspiration for your work come from dreams, are there any particular dreams of images that are represented in your latest show?

Yes there are some pieces based on dream image, but lately I have been trying to change my painting process. I used to paint based more on story of the dream. now I’m more concentrating on capture moment, object, or feel that I felt in dream.

So like rusty metal piece next to moon or a dice which include numbers, sand timer, and Indian bull. These are harder things to explain in words

What projects do you have planned after this show?

Probably, I should not tell plans before they start to be formed clearly. So that I not became a liar.

Two and Meggs stop to check out the show during installation.
