Double Vision
Double Vision
Double Vision is an exhibition that explores notions of the body and what it means to be human in a myriad of contemporary ways.All works are highly realistic, hyperrealist and photorealist. The play between the artificial and the real has been a fascinating and enduring subject within contemporary art. The digital age has enabled artists to go even deeper into the realm of trickery and guise, blurring the world of imagination and reality.
Location: McClelland Gallery+Sculpture Park, McClelland Drive, Langwarrin
