Over the past couple of months I’ve been able to occassionally get a glimpse of work in progress for an awesome show coming up this week – one produced by two very different artists, who just happen to inhabit the same body.

The duality that is Aeon/Tom Gerrard is one of those interesting things that occurs when you have a guy who loves graffiti, but is also exploring the world of fine art – often, artists who work in this way will settle on a single aesthetic and combine both aspects, but in Aeon-TG’s world, the two are exploring  their respective creative output from two differeing perspectives – the result of which, is a body of work that if not converging, is at least flying on a synonymous path. 

Anyways, more details on the show below .. 

‘In this together’ is an apt name for the up and coming show by Melbourne based graffiti artist aeon and fine artist Tom Gerrard. Their two careers have been existing side by side for a number of years, both exhibiting internationally and snapped up by art collectors around the world. Few people know that the two artists are actually the same person approaching the art world from two different angles and with two different styles.

Aeon’s quirky, iconic characters can be seen on the streets of Europe, Asia, the Americas and across Australia making him one of the most globally recognised Australian street artists. While tom gerrard’s career has existed predominately in galleries in cities such as London, Paris, Berlin, Barcelona and la. He also hosts his podcast bench talk where he interviews artists and creatives about their careers.

‘in this together’ opens at RVCA corner gallery in Collingwood on february 24 from 6pm to 8pm.”

Theres a cool little intro video to the show as well …

There’s also a great interview with the man himself on his very own Podcast show, Bench Talk (that you should all check out as well!).

It’s going to be a fun, interesting show, and definitely one you should check out – so head down to RVCA on Friday to see it for yourselves.
