A FREE night of Art, live music and interactive art sponsored by Lost and Grounded Brewery. Featuring music from folk punk duo Butcher/Berkeley and DJ Pazuzu.
OBLITERATION PORTRAITS is a new solo show comprising of 30 original paintings by James Chen-Wishart. The title is a reference to Yayoi Kusama’s idea of ‘Self Obliteration’, which she achieved in her work through the use of repetition and pattern. James Chen-Wishart uses paintings of figurative skeletons in dark voids with heads made of light, colour and organic forms.
I want this to be a body of work to be about humanity, emotions and encounters that transport us to different experiences of our existence. We are all just skeletons walking around in darkness made light and colour through the actions of our senses and our minds.
