“They cool him down with cold hisses”
Samraing Chea and Kieren Seymour
1 Sept → 7 Oct 2017
They cool him down with cold hisses presents recent works by Samraing Chea and Kieren Seymour that share a mutual interest in machines, systems, the everyday, mundanity and the built environment. A sense of something sinister, or impending disaster, pervades both artist's work.
This exhibition is presented in partnership with Arts Project Australia.
Samraing Chea work predominantly with coloured pencils. Alluding to both historical and present-day references, Chea’s art practice demonstrates an uncanny ability to extract the irony and idiosyncrasies of his subject matter.
Kieren Seymour is a London born, Melbourne based artist. Fragments of politics, economics and personal experiences shape their predominantly image based studio practice.
