Perth artist Sean Morris is known for his quirky artworks, and in the Magic Weirdos series he has gathered together a whole slew of other artists and friends that have a kindred connection to the oddness he loves so much.
Having had the previous shows both in Perth and overseas, the Magic Weirdos series makes its way to Melbourne, Seans new home, with a grand array of artists.
“Curated by Melbourne’s Sean Morris, the Magic Weirdos represent an eclectic collection of world builders, divided by their unique styles and visions but united by the honesty and humanity found in their work.
Sean Morris describes Gold Blood as the common, intangible thing that flows through each of these artists, “some amazing disease that makes them see the world the way that they do and drives them to express what they see through their art.”
