Simon Degroot: Select Reshape
You did good, Arnott's, but now it's Simon's turn. See shapes reimagined at Spiro Grace Art Rooms.
Overview
It’s hard to get excited about shapes when their name isn’t preceded with chicken, pizza or BBQ. But artist Simon Degroot has gone ahead and proved that while Arnott's had it right, there’s a hell of a lot more to shapes (not biccies) than meets the eye.
Degroot proves in his major body of work, Select Reshape, the root of truly wonderful art comes from reimaging, mutilating and exploring the re-appropriation of the everyday. Using photoshop, layers, a fair chunk of talent, a lot of shapes (biccies) and a lot of shapes (not biccies) Degroot has produced a selection of work that almost as perplexing as it is beautiful.
This exhibition, held at Spiro Grace Art Rooms in Spring Hill, is the fist major body of Degroot’s work since embarking on his PhD at the Queensland College of Art (good luck Simo, PhDs are hard). Exploring all things shapes (not biccies) and their construction, layering and relationship to everyday architecture, Degroot overlaps, obscures and creates spatial arrangements of peculiar illusion.
Check out Simon Degroot’s Select Reshape from the 12th to the 28th of June.
