Not tree + Not sky = Brick June 10, 2006

Matt Robinson's show explores an alternative reality where anything is possible. Great mountains of ‘goo’ run wild, explosions burst out of its side whilst winged brains placidly fly on by. This fantasy land plays with non-sensical visual language that relates to pop and subversive cartoon imagery. The viewer is drawn in by the inviting ice cream-like vistas, only to realise there is a darker nature to the work. Treacle flows down a sumptuous cloud which acts as camouflage for a grimacing monster. Winding abstract architecture grows across the wall, reminiscent of the 3-D letter styles used in graffiti. Floating castles house toxic mutant ninjas that are whimsically going about their every day work.

Above all, spontaneity, improvisation and intuition are given supreme authority in governing the direction of the piece.

Open daily 9am - 11pm. Free admission.
