michael steele @ gorker gallery

february 01, 2010

gorker gallery is proud to present a solo show by melbourne based artist michael steele titled 'accumulating'. michael's mixed media pop surrealist cluster paintings convey personal and culturally based themes. these themes are explored by sourcing and combining visual icons from the artist's generation, referencing the development of computer game culture, the internet phenomenon, the evolution of a multicultural consumer society, advertising and the emergence of graffiti art. by fusing recognizable visual elements together in random composition, the works engage the viewer to respond simultaneously to these clusters, evoking their own unique response to each combination. the works are rich in communication, obvious and hidden messages lie within each explosion of visual stimulus to interpret. opening thursday 4 february 2010 6.30pm and continuing until 21 february at gorker gallery, cnr gore & kerr st, fitzroy (melbourne). more info here - www.gorkergallery.com
