Way back in 2010, we had the chance to chat to Numskull about what he’d been up to – fast forward to now, and we have to say, this man has been doing some great shit over the past two years.

Coming up this week at The Tate, he will be presenting his new solo show Survival Tactics – this follows on from a  long ago successful showing in Brooklyn not too as a part of his collaboration with Mishka, and it looks like its going to be damn cool.

“Numskull is an Australian based artist, working out of Sydney in a variety of fields and mediums. His work spans across painting, sculpture, illustration and outdoor murals.

‘Survival Tactics’ is a re-interpretation of Numskull’s recent exhibition in Brooklyn, New York at Mishka in August this year. It is an extended capsule of artwork comprising of 6 limited edition prints, hand carved wooden sculptures, paintings and a unique video installation. In collaboration with Mishka NYC, a limited edition shirt made by Mishka and designed by Numskull will also be released on the night.

‘Survival Tactics’ is a show about repetition. The artists constant struggle and frustration with advertising and the internet has become a focal point for his work. This group of work is a direct analysis of repetition, one of life’s most common aspects. Especially in this new age, repeated action and messaging is part of our lives, wether we like it or not. Do we compete against this wavelength, or ride along with it…”

There’s also a preview video from the show up on Youtube, check it on the embed below – love this shit haha.
