For Queensland artist, Shane Drinkwater, self-imposed restrictions provide a key place to begin for the works they create in ink, pen, acrylic and collage-always in a sq. format that measures about 50 per 50 centimeters. Arrows, crosses, factors and numbers construct linear parts and patterns, whereas major colours provide the premise for infrequent or gradient inexperienced.
Primarily based on a love all through life for maps, numbers and astronomical diagrams, Drinkwater continues to discover the chances of fictitious (earlier) cosmic networks. In some items, concentric circles resemble diagrams of the photo voltaic system, whereas in others, comets or esoteric techniques counsel the imaginary functioning of atomic phenomena or alchemical experiments.
Drinkwater’s work have lately been included within the e book Components: chaos, order and 5 elementary forces, Revealed by Thames & Hudson. At present, he’s making ready works for artwork festivals this fall in Copenhagen and Paris, together with a gaggle present at Gagné Up to date in Toronto.
