Overview

Caroline Mudge has made her very unique stamp on the art world, and now her one-of-a-kind pieces are visiting Brisbane.

Caroline takes a pre-loved or otherwise-intended surface, such as an old painting or a road sign, and makes it into a work of art. Her palette of pastels - cutesy colours of candy, distinctly beautiful and delicate - create overlays to cover drab or industrial intent. The result is a juxtaposition of imagery, a new perspective of both intention and result. The images Carolyn has carefully and masterfully hand-painted onto the makeshift canvas are highlighted by the lacklustre of the background, and perhaps given a more individual meaning by design.

Head along to Poly Gone Cowboy for the opening night of Caroline’s exhibition to celebrate the artistry of her works on Friday, July 18th from 5pm; otherwise the exhibition runs until August 15th. Don’t miss out!
