Olivié Keck - Drop Dead Gorgeous

Thursday Apr 11 - Saturday May 4       6 Jellicoe Ave, Rosebank
share
Master printmaker Olivié Keck’s characteristically brightly coloured artworks are centred around the emotions and intimate lives of contemporary youth and the prevailing obsessions of 21st Century society. In Drop Dead Gorgeous, Keck jumps into society's addiction to ‘crimes of passion’ as popular entertainment staging stylised crime scenes. The lifeless subjects lie surrounded by all the trappings of 21st Century ostentation and dressed in luxury clothing, presenting a playful parody that is rooted in more serious questioning of our cultural obsession with violence and romance as entertainment.

Complementing the exhibition is a brand new VR art experience by Olivie Keck at the innovative TMRW gallery across the road in Keyes Art Mile which sees Keck's new works brought vividly to life using virtual reality technology.
