Overview

Featuring some stunning works that seemingly blend pop art with street art, Teenage Dreams and Drama Queens (the debut exhibition from Scott Hynd) is a vibrant and thoughtful look at the trials and tribulations of modern romance.

Taking inspiration from comic books and Lichtenstein-esque melodrama, Scott has created some compelling pieces that are on display this Thursday. Coming from a background in graphic design, the Brisbane based artist has honed his style and incorporated spray paint and enamel to give his work an urban feel.

When speaking to Raw Ink Magazine, Scott said this of his work: “I love being able to take an idea from a concept to creation. I love using different elements (such as comics, stencils and drawings) and different materials (such as enamel house paint and spray paint) to create a work that is cohesive and eye catching.”

Scott certainly has the eye catching element down pat, and with the tried and true theme of love and lust, he has created a series of work that is also cohesive and thoughtful. Do yourself a favour and check it out.
