Richard McCoy
Opening Night
Friday 15 Mar | 6 - 8pm
◼︎
REPEAT explores the copy-and-paste nature of our lives, the digital reality of 21st-century desire and the patterns that often unwittingly repeat before us as relationships or narratives. Using the language of print design, Ai and references to ancient sculptures, these works suggest the dark but sometimes unoriginal nature of how we suffer and its relationship to mass production.
Artist Bio
Melbourne-based artist Richard McCoy thinks of his work as snapshots or inventories of fragmented lives. Often kitsch, with a consistent use of computer technology, his work explores the interrelationships between change, time, reality and identity. He works across fashion, print design, photography and digital art with the aim of suggesting alternatives to how we see the past, reality, and the transformative power of art. After exhibiting his 3D-printed master’s artworks at London’s Tate Britain in 2013, his work continues to use new technology.
