No Vacancy Gallery: Twoone’s ‘So Far’

Twoone showcasing some of his work

When I attended Twoone’s first solo show last year, titled One Thousand Cans, I was extremely impressed by the technical intricacies of his work. His mythical characters boasted seemingly impossible detail on a minute scale, complimented by rich black outlines.

I am proud to announce that Twoone’s new exhibition, So Far, utilises one of my favourite mediums – found objects. There’s something really beautiful about an old wooden box with cream paint slowly flaking off or corrugated plastic roofing manipulated in a way that gives it an entirely different identity. If you’re excited about lively creatures painted on wood, then you’ll love this exhibition.

Twoone (Hiroyasu Tsuri) was born in Japan in 1985 and, after turning 18, he moved to Melbourne. He has since studied Visual Arts and New Media at Swinburne University and become a prominent part of Melbourne’s street art scene. He first became interested in street art at an early age while photographing a two-kilometre long wall in his hometown of Yokohama.

  4. Ethankleeberg TWOONE (Hiroyasu Tsuri) moved to Melbourne from Yokohama, Japan at the age of 18. His consistently powerful work and standout style have seen him steadily become a stalwart of the Melbourne street art scene. His involvement has extended from numerous group shows and exhibitions to live painting demonstrations, murals, community art workshops and most recently collaborations with veteran MC Elf Transporter and his LO2’s fleet.
