Drewfunk – PARITY – Solo Exhibition

by with No Comment NewsUncategorized

Parity examines the harmonious themes of balance and equality, present and past, heritage and ancestry, memory and experience. The artworks draw upon both western imagery and oriental symbolism to reference DrewFunk’s experience across two cultures; as experienced when the artist moved from Malaysia to Australia. The artist’s cultural heritage coincides with memories of childhood, evoking nostalgic undertones – through the inclusion of mythical creatures, a lonely tree house, and images of childhood pets. Consolidating creative energy from artistic peers, urban influences and the works of master painters, Parity proposes a link between the creative elements of fine art, music and dance. The artworks explore harmony and equality through the pairing of opposing colours, themes, mediums and cross-cultural art forms. In a step away from DrewFunk’s familiar ink works, Parity seeks to master the medium of paint through elegant, fluid brushwork. DrewFunk’s graffiti and street art roots remain evident within the works, as he combines aerosol techniques with traditional oriental brushwork and symbolism to create a vibrant flare and movement on the canvas. ————————–———— Performance by Kings Only & Music by Skills.
