THE AMAZING ACORN
The hugely talented Acorn is preparing to launch his 2nd solo show in Melbourne.
An experience not to be missed.
“the word “planetes” is greek for “wanderers”, just as planets do, wander across the sky. the drawings presented in this show portray nomadic peoples roaming, gathering, and socializing in a seemingly endless forest where all possibilities are considered. drawings from the forest series are an ongoing project, and they themselves are always expanding, evolving, changing with experience and time.”
planetes / new drawings by acorn
opening night – august 12, show runs until – august 23
