Join us at Praxis Artspace for the opening night of three diverse yet harmonious exhibitions by contemporary artists Fantastic Man, Joi Murugavell, and dré fuzz !

Joi Murugavell | Itching & Scratching

Joi Murugavell is interrogating the enduring periods of self-obstruction within an arts practice. When we block ourselves from allowing our art to communicate with us, a comfort and comical awareness with ugly clumsiness is necessary to face the mirror that is our artworks. Itching & Scratching is the desire and listening that occurs as Joi marks her way through another 40 pages of paper and a couple of big canvas’!

dré fuzz | evolve, human, please

Evolve, Human, Please, is a plea. dré fuzz uses form and colour to represent two extremes, fluid and rigid. This binary serves as a metaphor for the sociological thought patterns that define and maintain social structures. dré treats rigidity as the antagonist for social cohesion and harmony within humanity, and alternatively proposes conversation between diverse groups in order to overcome social division and segregation. dré’s semi-3D ceramic wall sculptures create a rare intersection between challenging social commentary, deep symbolism, and bursts of playful colour and animated compositions.

Fantastic Man | *DIGITAL ROOTS, A Family Journey

Through *DIGITAL ROOTS, A Family Journey, Fantastic Man uses a blend of personal photography and AI to re-portray the characters and environment of his childhood ecosystem. His desirable compositions are filled with symbolism, exploring identities that to him were not fully understood for a long time. Fantastic Man’s imagery, displayed as woven paper collages, creates analogue layers and texture, with a real sense of digital glitch.
