The Origins of Humanity

Overview

What came first, the chicken or the egg? This age old question is one without an answer, though there are those that use this question as a launching point for their own ideas regarding the origin of our species. Peter Alwast is an artist that revels in the uncertainty regarding our beginnings and existence. His newest exhibition, The Origins of Humanity tackles the issue head on.

This series of work takes a look at the origins of humanity and creates a running dialogue on his ideas regarding the topic. Using paint, video and computer graphics, Alwast challenges the established perceptions about our beginnings and attempts to alter the perception of reality and meaning of life.

It is a complex topic to examine, yet Peter Alwast has created a series of visually stimulating work that offers food for thought as well as a good lot of eye candy. This exhibition will be on display until October 4th.
