“They wear their hearts on their sleeves, have their heads in the sky and their guts in the gutter. This is the life of a hopeless romantic.”
Is it indeed hopeless to have a romantic outlook in this age of cynicism, speed dating and automated iCal invitations? Quite possibly. Thankfully though, amazing new artwork is still readily available, even if you have to hunt it down on MySpace.
This month, Melbourne contemporary artists Jo Laboo and Rik Lee present a series of paintings and illustrations exploring the lives of hopeless romantics in the city. On show at acclaimed artist-run gallery Viewing Space, this exhibition should re-ignite your inner Dorian Gray (before he met Lord Henry that is).
Supported by Vice, Red Stripe and Is Not Magazine.
