NO VACANCY GALLERY PRESENTS: [22nd APRIL 2010]
SWITCHEROO
ARTWORKS BY NIOR
For the past 5 years local artist Nior has been creating artwork from his leafy hideaway in the hills of Melbourne. His fascination with the local fauna and his compulsion to make and draw things stretches back much further.
The animal inhabitants of Nior’s hand-crafted, wooden environments are endearingly familiar yet otherworldly critters. His unique style of artistic zoology sees each painting and scultpture adding to a visual encyclopedia of animals that make you wish they exist.
Nior’s artwork has featured alongside Melbourne’s finest contemporary artists. Since his highly successful first solo exhibition at No Vacancy he has received broad acclaim for his work as part of The Triforce Advance alongside other local favourites; Ghostpatrol and Acorn. He has exhibited widely in Melbourne and internationally and now presents his second solo collection at No Vacancy.
