When I attended Twoone (http://twooneelephant.com/)’s first solo show last year, titled One Thousand Cans (http://www.onethousandcans.com/), 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.
Don’t miss it:
