Brook Andrew - Hope, Peace, and Paradise, Geelong Art Gallery, Victoria, 16 July - 23 October 2022 (another impression)
"Brook Andrew's Hope and Peace series merges traditional Wiradjuri designs with consumer icons in a retro aesthetic. These objects - cigarettes, chewing gum packets, and rubbing tobacco - are all thematically entwined with war, conflict, and the 'hero'. The works are reminiscent of billboards - bright, bold colours featuring everyday objects or huge, skewed lettering that offers a seductive and ironic glimpse into hollow promises of capitalism, corporations, and white culture. The geometric patterns in the background are drawn from Andrew Wiradjuri heritage, coupled with phrases 'Ngajuu ngaay Nginduugirr' meaning, 'I see you' and 'Nginduugirr ngaay ngajuu' meaning, 'You see me'."
(Wollongong Art Gallery, Victoria)
Other impressions of this print are held in the permanent collections of the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne; and Geelong Art Gallery, Victoria.
