Having moved to Japan after growing up and going to art school in Australia, Sean Edward Whelan creates figures filled with traditional Japanese structures, bridges, lanters, and more. From a distance, his figures vibrate with movement and life while up close an entire meticulous world exists. Compound is very excited to be carrying a limited edition of his prints. Check them out here or in person.
Compound Gallery, presents Lazerz! a showcase of new artwork by lasers and about lasers. This show runs May 3rd to June 2nd.
Remember when we were kids, and lasers were the raddest? Laser Tag? Lasers in the back drop of school photos? Lightsabers? Almost every Trapper Keeper graphic? Those were the days.
In 2012 it might seem that lasers have developed into nothing beyond a instrument of medical miracles and a means to mess with your cat.... BUT we do have laser etchers and our dreams!
