The Roost Creative presents – “SUPER”

August 30, 2013August 30, 2013 | Chris

In July I took place in the “Super” exhibition hosted by The Roost Creative. The Show was held at Curve Gallery, Newcastle. Conceptually we were to interpret a comic book hero with no two artists working on the same character. I decided to chose Todd McFarlane’s Spawn, a childhood favourite and iconic anti-hero. In my work I wanted to his convey his dominance in the 90’s not only from an Independent publishing stand point but also through the success of McFarlane toys & figurines.

The Luminiferous Aether – VIVID 2013

August 30, 2013August 30, 2013 | Chris

It was an honor this year to take part in VIVID 2013 as a featured light artist.
Art Directed and Conceptualized by Jonathan Verzosa & Amy Yongsiri – collaborative additional illustration by myself & Andrew Yee.

After VIVID ended there was extended showcase of the work at He Made She Made Gallery, Oxford St.

Shown as part of Vivid Sydney 2013, The Luminiferous Aether is an illuminated mural based on a Thai folk tale about how the moon came into being; a love story between the sun king and a beautiful princess, and how the stars arranged their happiness.

The title, The Luminiferous Aether, is taken from a scientific term that was used in the 19th century to describe the substance which was believed to allow light to travel through space. The mural is intended to be that medium through which light, in a metaphorical and physical sense, travels to the audience.
