FRAGMENTS OF MYTHOLOGICAL DREAMS

FRAGMENTS OF MYTHOLOGICAL DREAMS

An Exhibition of new paintings and installation by SKOUNT (ESP)

“Dreams are not just messages (coded messages, at that), but are also an aesthetic activity, a game of the imagination that has its own value. Dreams are proof that fantasies - emotional immersion in the visualization of events that have never and may never occur - are one of the profoundest necessities for human life. The characters that come from my imagination are my own possibilities, those that never came to bear, or those still on my horizon.”

Now for the first time in Australia, The Hours presents ‘Fragments of Mythological Dreams’, an exhibition of new paintings and installation by Skount. In this exhibition, inspired by Ancient Greek myths and legends, Skount presents a reality, drawing a relatively cohesive oneiric spectrum with mythology. Recounting a pictorial discourse by which we enter into a world of dreams, created to explain the universe, the origin of the world, natural phenomena and anything for which there is no simple explanation. Through this new body of work on canvas and paper, Skount investigates this complex philosophical world full of arguments about the nature, properties, causes and effects of natural things, especially the human being and the universe.

Below you can check the complete series and some photos of the installation that was exhibited last May in The Tate gallery. Sydney, Australia.

This amazing Opening video was created by Studio Breeder
"Double-exposures in motion.
-
Breeder was invited back to create the opening titles for Analogue/Digital, so once again, we threw ourselves into the project and didn't hold back. This year, we developed an ambitious aesthetic based upon the idea of double exposure, inspired by Alabaster's amazing track and the conference's program design. We worked around the theme of binary, juxtaposing the urban sprawl and nature, black and white, flight and fall, and unification and disintegration. It was a labour of love and we couldn't be prouder with the end result."

The video below was filmed, edited and created by Matt Raimondo.

"On 16th May I had the pleasure of capturing the second instalment of Brisbane's new art initiative 'Let's Face It' presented by Dan Hancock Design and Thirteen Digital, which also doubled as a pre-party to the Analogue/Digital creative conference

The unique event includes live screen printing of 50 T-Shirt's. The Tees are initially designed by 12 artists who create a face which is then mixed and matched with other artists designs from buyers in the crowd. The artist are there on the night printing the Tees right in front of you.

Participating artists included Ken Done, Reg Mombassa, Mulga the Artist, Loretta Lizzio, Stu Vidler, Ben Johnston, Tabitha Shafran, Alarna Zinn, Nick Chalmers, and Listen to the Graphic’s Jack Tierney.

Also on the night was live street art by artists BeastMan, NumSkull and Skount."
