CHRISTOPHE STIBIO | WARNING: SEVERE WEATHER
Open from 10am - 6pm
Meat Market Stables
2 Wreckyn Street
North Melbourne, 3051
Artist floor talk Saturday 11 June from 2pm.
After two years of surveying major Australian land sites, including the Central Desert (NT), Flinders Ranges (SA) and Lake Mungo (NSW), Christophe Stibio presents a new group of paintings that reflect an authentic vision of the Australian Landscape: unorthodox, awe-inspiring, intimate yet vulnerable. The signature use of shredded classified documents as a painting medium serves as a protest against governmental ineptitude to act significantly on the desertification of the country (the space we are provided with). The process of recycling and using the classified documents highlights the urgent need for sustainable circular-economy practices and raises the concept of transience (time) as a key factor in minimising the human footprint.
