Techknototopia vs Cultural Tempest
The idea of limitless possibilities and vast terrains, from an artist whose own work has travelled widely and pushed boundaries.
Overview
Clay Smith, a fusion artist, brings together the styles of modern and low-brow art, in its many entertaining and promotional forms, to create satirical and thought-provoking pieces. Two of his seminal series are coming together for one highly esteemed exhibition: Techknotopia vs Cultural Tempest.
He looks at unravelling possibility, of foreign lands and unrecognisable characters, and two such collections that examine these ideas from varying angles will prove an entirely-immersive experience for art fans and plainly curious alike.
Techknototopia has been dubbed, by Smith himself, as “digital Technology unfolding, un-folding like Alice falling down the rabbit hole”. He takes elements from the “gaming world”, where characters not unlike those of Wonderland are transported into this parallel universe, like pieces of an ever-changing puzzle. Cultural Tempest looks at a fresh-faced traveller’s experience with new surroundings on debut overseas explorations.
Having been presented in overseas collections, plus many times over on home soil, Clay Smith’s art is well travelled and celebrated. Don’t miss your opportunity to see what the fuss is about.
