Description:
Trent Whitehead's work has brought feathered, horned and hairy creatures to the canvas; that canvas being wood panelling, t-shirts for Urban Outfitters or MTV office walls. His fantastical sensibility and candy colours - bright enough they kind of swirl up if you stare at them for too long - creep into his next exhibit, Cornicopia. The work, consisting of painted masks, is like a collection of caricatures ready for some kind of paint fight. From horned creatures, to bearded villains and faces at peace - these works welcome Asahi-fueled dialogue for another dimension of character. - ID
