CITYLIGHTS HOSIER LANE :: Melbourne CBD :: AUSTRALIA
From Wednesday 02 April thru July 2008

Melbourne is a abundant source of inspiration for me as an artist and illustrator. These images are all about using what would otherwise be seen as something ugly or unsightly as subject matter and capturing the beauty of a tagged wall, rubbish bins and old vehicles. The build up and decay of paint, paste ups, stickers and signs fascinate me, and capture my imagination.

sorry Madmoiselle Nelio! xx rats of melbourne

Nelio on Misty bar, Hosier Lane

Hailing from a rural part of France and lacking the urban laneways of a city, Nelio’s favoured canvas are the decayed and crumbling industrial buildings littering the French countryside, abandoned as commerce and workers gravitated towards the larger cities throughout the late 20th century. Nelio’s practise combines graphic design, photography and graffiti, and he is particularly sensitive to the public environments in which he places his idiosyncratic interlinked heads and biomorphic shapes (known as “bonds”).

A sense of lost arcadia permeates Nelio’s poetic documentation of his aerosol art, painted onto faded and broken walls amongst creepers and foliage that reclaim the buildings as floors and roofs give way to the elements. His photography distils the atmosphere and transports the viewer to the original space in which his work is placed. Nelio has become a mainstay on the local scene during his sojourn, collaborating with many artists, and Citylights is proud to present his first solo exhibition in Australia.

Man meri na bilong tumbuna

Fred Fowler, aka Nuroc, rarely writes the same way twice, and over the last 7 years he has used this restlessness as a very specific prism through which to view his ongoing visual investigation of the Word, and knowledge systems and symbolism of the ancients and moderns - both common and great. Exposure to art from Oceania and Papua new Guinea at an early age has led Fred to examine patterns, language, imagery and meaning as it appears in traditional societies, and apply the learning to his contribution and deciphering of the native urban culture he inhabits. Different spaces, different chambers, different surfaces, different audiences, different contexts, different interfaces, all demand a new vernacular, a new style, a new mythology, a new centre of gravity, a new law of configuration.

The great New York graffiti artist and theoretician Rammelzee (widely acknowledged as the inventor of Wild Style, and an important influence on Fowler) has said "Knowledge knowledge knowledge, the elevation of Wild Style knowledge is concluded as a SYMBOL DESTROYER, ARMORED, MEDIEVAL MECHANISM". He is not talking about academic knowledge but about the personal need to be curious about the world and incorporate all what fascinates you into the mix.

Living by that sword, Highland Chamber is the long awaited exhibition by Fred Fowler, honed by years of freestyle street writing and incorporating camouflaged iconoclasm with styles influenced by Oceanic art, the dissection of pervasive corporate symbolism, and pattern making as both guardian and giver of knowledge.
