In his latest exhibition, Numskull offers art lovers a range of concepts and styles, including wooden font collage artworks, sculpture and installation pieces and the signature character paintings that Numskull has become recognised for, both locally and internationally.
His latest artworks draw from his obsessive passion for typography and the visual data that saturates our city streets, via disruptive advertising, attention seeking information and colour.
Numskull takes emotion and meaning from this broad pool of mixed messages and filters it down into collaged images that are bold, curious and colourful.
Using a range of items, such as found materials, custom built wooden pieces and paint on canvas, this body of work is a step forward, which captures audacious ideas that will delight and confuse the viewer.
Numskull has been painting since the late ‘90s, has exhibited over a dozen times and has been featured in publications including The Sydney Morning Herald, Acclaim, Lodown and many more. He was recently selected as an artist for Art & About Sydney and The Outpost Project on Cockatoo Island.
