Tackling issues of modern Western theology may sound like a mean feat, but Melbournian Mia Salsjo proves she's up for the challenge. Weaving personal experiences abroad in Indonesia into mega graphite and pencil on paper prints, her latest exhibition New Age is a Cult is a bold attempt to shine light on some sticky spiritual situations.
Salsjo's latest work stays true to her signature multi-disciplinary drawing style while proving she's still got a few more tricks up her sleeve. Armed with technical training in music and studies at the Victorian College of the Arts, this project offers a visual feast exploring cultural appropriations of Eastern cosmology.
Across three weeks, the artist-run gallery space at Melbourne Art Rooms (MARS) will play host to this brave new project. Head along to this exhibition for an intriguing display of contemporary art, sure to spark some fiery dinner table conversation.
