Someone once said, writing about art is like dancing about architecture. Or something like that... Of course we could regurgitate the press release, and regale you with million-dollar art-world terms such as 'magpie junkyard aesthetic', 'psych-exotica', and 'Monash University', but that’s not really our style.
How about something straight from the heart?
Simply put, the artwork of Dylan Martorell is f#@*g incredible, and if you are not moved by it in the slightest way, you are a cold, dead person inside, with only a black stone for a heart, pumping molten lead through your veins.
Put your humanity to the test and take in some of Dylan's newest prints and sound sculptures at his long-awaited solo show at Utopian Slumps, Panter Cluster Rimbone.
The show opens this Friday from 6-9pm. You can also catch Dylan in his other incarnation as a costumed member of Melbourne musical/performance art outfit, The Hi God People, who will be performing at the gallery on September 9. More details at Hidden Archive or Utopian Slumps.
...because we tried dancing about architecture, and the dry cleaning bill was preposterous.
