Holy freakin moly, this is exciting! This Friday night, Phibs and Beastman, two artists working out of Sydneys Higher Ground studios, are both having solo shows – on the same night, each mere metres away from each other in Collingwood! You know the work is going to be awesome.
“Spread across two galleries on the same Collingwood block, the duel exhibitions will present the the styles, connections, influences and friendship of two of Australia’s leading street artists.
The opening night party will take place across the neighborhood with the extension of murals between the two galleries.”
PHIBS
Phibs has been huge on the street scene for some years now, and his colourful detailed line work is found heavily both in Melbourne and Sydney, as well as in the corners streets all over the world.
“Phibs distinctive style signifies the symbiotic, engaging the urban with the organic. He produces works across a vast variety of mediums and consistently reflects his own unique realms of symbolism, multiculturalism and mythology. Largely inspired by nature, his works have spawned a menagerie of signature characters.”
BEASTMAN
Brad Eastman, most commonly known as Beastman, presents a show continuing on from his exhibition “Cosmic Nature.” Having also painted globally, Beastman’s unique style can be recognised for its flowing, tribal style characters, bright fill in and heavy black outlines.
“Beastman’s innovative new paintings explore the futuristic and overwhelming idea of nature coming to life in a way we could have never imagined. The artist’s new colour palette and further development of his distinctive style reflect the different elements of our young world and the organic lines and often symmetrical geometric patterns found in nature. The deities featured in his ambitious new works are a representation of nature progressing beyond the boundaries of our imagination, when the cosmic forces of nature eventually reveal the irrelevance of humanity in the universe.”
This show will feature not only Beastman’s new works – but also an installation of drawings, sketches and other materials, which allow us to see into the thoughts, motives and processes of the work this artist has created over the last two years.
Can’t wait to check this out, so much artwork, both in the galleries and on the walls in between – this is major talent overload!!
