More great shows coming up at Gorker Gallery this month – this time in the shape of a solo exhibition by Sydney based artists Beastman.

His upcoming show “Infinite Nature” is “Influenced by the beauty and symbolism behind nature’s repetitive geometric patterns and its eternal struggle against man-made adversities, Beastman’s tightly detailed, symmetrical paintings depict a parallel world of hope and survival inhabited by his scaly-skinned, beastlike yet beautiful and emotive characters. Gripped by fear, anger, stress, confusion and paranoia, these instantly recognisable and loveable creatures reflect human nature and the everyday burdens and struggles of life that mankind so easily and continuously finds itself lost in. Beauty. Battle. Death. Repeat. This is Infinite Nature.

“One of the most distinctive and prolific emerging artists in Australia and founder and editor of the online art publication [weAREtheIMAGEmakers], Beastman has exhibited extensively throughout Australia, as well as London, Berlin and New Zealand. He has curated and organised numerous art exhibitions and events, and has designed skateboards and graphics for various brands including Element, Folklore and Mingo Lamberti. Beastman was recently profiled on ABC’s Rush TV and has been featured in publications such as Empty, Semi-Permanent, Tees, Deadbeat, Oyster, Spitpress, Australian Creative and more.”

Beastman is a highly talented artist who is at the top of his game, and getting to this show really should be a mandatory excursion for all.

Also, I cant recommend more highly that you go and take a look at the [weAREtheIMAGEmakers] website – imho one of the best online publications in Oz for the kind of art we all love.
