It’s a selection of new watercolour and matchbox constructions by Brisbane artist and musician Eugene Carchesio, known for his interest in minimalism, and repetition.
Carchesio is represented in public and private collections in Australia and was the subject in 2008-2009 of the Queensland Art Gallery retrospective “Someone’s Universe: the Art of Eugene Carchesio”.
According to independent curator and writer Victoria Lynn: “The unassuming watercolour and matchbox constructions of Eugene Carchesio contain a poetry that touches on myth, music, the connections between geometry and art, and notions of housing and collecting. Each of these small works is like a poem.”
Lynn traces his artistic heritage to the Russian Constructivists, the Futurists and Josef Beuys, avant garde artists with a Utopian vision.
Works by Eugene Carchesio, by Everything Nothing Projects Level 1, Center Cinema Building 29 Bunda Street, Civic, (above Academy Nightclub) Saturday and Sunday 12-5pm and by appointment, until July 8.
