Stripes 2 Exhibition Opening
Event description
Stripes 2
Brenton Drechsler
Brenton Drechsler explores notions of orientation, personal narrative and opacity through the subjective lens of his queer identity. He also explores the absence of belonging to place and finding his bearings in paint. Brenton investigates these themes through a variety of consistent motifs, like stripes, garments, foreign urban environments and vintage cars. Drechsler is focused on subversion and distortion, in relation to Australian heteronormative culture. His practice also explores the right to opacity in contemporary visual art.
