Looking like all the international shows are starting to ramp up for the year, and we’ll cover whatever we see of Oz and NZ artists doing it large out in the world!

First up for the year is a new solo show from Kyle Hughes-Odgers, affectionately and better know to all of you as Creepy. We first heard about this show, “If We Can’t Control The Boat, Lets Control The Ocean” when we saw him at the Daek exhibition at RTIST last year – d we just got the release through and thought we’d share it with all of you!

“In his first solo exhibition in Berlin, Australian artist Kyle Hughes-Odgers presents new paintings on wood, photographs and a site-specific installation.

These new works explore the futility of an uncontrollable existence, shown in moments of clarity and small gestures of resistance. Kyle Hughes-Odgers continues to enhance and strengthen his unique style through progressive exploration of different spaces, environments and surfaces.

Kyle Hughes-Odgers has exhibited his paintings and created large-scale murals extensively throughout Australia and internationally in Los Angeles, New York City, Singapore and Europe.
He has had work previously featured in publications such as Street Art
New York, Kingbrown and Empty magazine.

He has artwork and commissions in private and public collections including Murdoch University, Royal Perth Hospital, DMG Architects and the City of Perth.”

We interviewed Kyle a year or so back, and we’re big fans of his work, and those Germans are damn lucky to get a chance to see a show from him. Oh, and check out the Transmissions column later today for a preview of the show!
