For the artist established in Queensland Shane Drinking waterSelf-imposed limitations offer an important starting point for works that it creates in ink, pen, acrylic and collage altime in a square format of approximately 50 by 50 centimeters. Arrows, crosses, dots and songs build linear elements and patterns, while primary colors form the basis for occasional green or gradient.
Based on a lifelong love for cards, numbers and astronomical graphs, drinking water continues to investigate the possibilities of fictional cosmic networks (earlier). In some pieces, concentric circles look like diagrams of the solar system, while in other references to comets or esoteric systems, the imaginary effect of atomic phenomena or alchemical experiments suggest.
The work of drinking water was recently included in the book Elements: chaos, order and the five elementary forces” Published by Thames & Hudson. He is currently preparing work at art fairs this fall in Copenhagen and Paris, together with a group show Gagné Contemporary In Toronto. Find more about the artist website And Instagram.
