Peter Madden: From Everywhere Else
Be amazed, and be wary of paper cuts.
Overview
Talent-wise we’ve nicked a fair few big names from our off-shore neighbours New Zealand, so one more surely couldn’t hurt. Peter Madden is an Auckland based collage artist who meshes the surreal with the inanimate, to create pieces that a heavily detailed to the very finest of detail. They burst at the seems with colour and content, and combine a light enchantment with objects that are strangely familiar. Think Alice in Wonderland meets Willy Wonka meets Mark Ryden.
Now, Madden is jetting over to Brisbane with his work for a month long exhibit at Ryan Renshaw Gallery – From Everywhere Else. Abundant with collages, dimensions, papercut risks, and colour, cramming in a healthy dose of life, death, proliferation of imagery, and decay, this collection of work promises a 3D experience better than Shrek Forever After.
The exhibition runs until May 10th, so make sure you jump into Madden’s spirited fantasies, but only touch with your eyes.
