Oh What a Night! Mid ….February ….something something Arts Degree ……

Ok so Although Frankie Valli Lyrics may no be entirely relavant in reference to the latest Stairwell Gallery Exhibition. 

 

It was still a Cracker of a night ! 

 

Dialogue Pr on behalf of the Absolut Stairwell Gallery would like to thank All the Artists for their amazing works, everyone at Pedestrian.tv for all their hard work, Circle Pit for bringing down the house and everyone that came down to celebrate with us.

ISN’T IT MIDNIGHT
2010

I wanted to make an image inspired by my favourite past-time of Karaoke and my favourite Karaoke song, Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Isn’t It Midnight’. In the end, it became more about the mythology of fame and how if you die a rockstar you live forever, I interpreted this literally with a corpse clinging to fame with his cold dead hands.

ASK ANYONE AND THEY’LL TELL YOU
2008

I drew this after watching a Rocky marathon, by the end of the movies he would always be really messed up and it wouldn’t be scary or unsettling because heroic music was playing, blood and injuries are the true barometer for masculinity.

Andy Harwood, Drunk Struggling To Focus Thirteen

2009

acrylic with oil glaze on canvas

120 x 120cm

$1800

Andy Harwood 26, is an emerging artist who lives and works in Brisbane. Late 2008, Andy founded Love Love Studio in Newstead where he works from and curates regular shows.

He has had both solo and group exhibitions around Australia including recent body of work Drunk Struggling To Focus shown at Jugglers Artspace in Brisbane. In this particular series, loose washy brushwork with competing focal points aim to portray a feeling of eerie light-headedness. 

Currently working on his next body of work Fragmented Anxiety, Andy has evolved from this unstructured style, now revealing gritty and layered geometric shapes with a feeling of puzzling fragility, and shattered pains. 

Andy continues to showcase his appreciation of escapism, and through his art challenges the viewer not be ignorant of social issues that many hope to avoid.
