Description
Dear friends,
You are cordially invited to Hibbleton Gallery's next art exhibit entitled “Maybe Forever” featuring artwork by Sean Morris and Sarah McNeil. The opening reception will be Friday, October 2, 2009 from 7-11pm. Drinks and refreshments will be served and this event is free to the public. The show will run from October 2-25th, 2009.
Sean and Sarah are two emerging artists from Australia, who have collaborated via the internet and in person to create humorous/serious drawings and paintings that explore peoples’ desire to live forever. “We are both really interested in the idea that everybody feels like there is something more to life, a way to cheat death somehow,” Sarah says. The collaborative work was done in a series of Melbourne cafes and bars, friend's houses, a dusty jeweller's studio and two libraries.
Sarah McNeil's drawings for “Maybe Forever” focus on individual belief systems. Self-made superstitions, good luck charms, wild runaway girls and rituals that die with their owner. Sarah has shown her artwork around the world, from Melbourne to Toronto to Edinburgh.
Sean Morris creates pen and watercolour pieces that are all based on a story about a mysterious 1970s cult led by tall, creepy messiah-like figures who manipulate their young followers and feed them 'spiritual' crystals which make them do funny things like build fires out of animal bones and think they have powers of levitation. Sean has shown his work in Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, and Florida.
Hope to see you there!
Love,
Hibbleton Gallery
