Total Control by Andrew Fairclough

Sydney based Illustrator Andrew Fairclough is the brilliant mind behind these mind-bending pieces. Displayed as a part of his solo exhibition at China Heights Gallery in Sydney earlier this month each piece taps into our internal mental and emotional distress. The exhibition entitled "Total Control" features a collection of mixed media art works. Each piece takes on a portrait style format and appears to capture subjects in odd and perplexing episodes. Andrew's work references classic pop-art and combines painting and printmaking.

About

The works explore themes of introspection, confusion, duality and impulse control viewed through the dead-gaze of technological distraction and the mesmerising flow of infinite information that is everywhere and nowhere at once. Inspired by dystopian fiction, mid-century illustration and low-brow comics, the resulting body of work constructs an uneasy yet hopeful atmosphere awash with abstract textural explorations and haphazard experiments.
