An group exhibition featuring some of Brisbane’s leading underground artists and their exploration of the theme “Bodies”.
‘In creation the body is a tool to express the mind; and according to Aristotle, the hand is the “tool of tools”. Our hands have the power to excite and to prohibit, to greet and to neglect, to heal and to destroy. The artist creates, using the hands as a gateway between imagination and reality’ – @MCRT.Studio
‘The way in which the body lends itself to all kinds of interesting shapes and forms is something that I feel needs to be celebrated. The idea of the “normal” self has been challenged in these works, a statement on the beauty that lies within irregularity’ – Felicia Balsategui
‘I scribble figures because I like the emotions they can portray. Seductive elbows to cold shoulders’ – i am just a scribbler
‘Where rainbow babes and extreme sports moments collide inside my mind’ – Jake Reston
‘All of my art revolves around mental health, but the body is the vessel to our minds. So, it is unavoidable that sometimes the mentality manifests outwards and the vessel can influence inwards. Here I explore insecurities, traumas, illnesses, scars, inclinations etc. from mind to body, body to mind’ – Spectator Jonze
‘Pleasure is a movement where the body is consciously brought into its’ normal state of being; pain is the opposite. Throughout my work I have explored the expressions and gestures that either pain or pleasure create within the human body’ – Toy Divisons
