After the success of his Bone Idol exhibition on the walls of fortyfivedownstairs in 2015, Chris Orr returns with a new show.
Conventicle is an unorthodox assemblage of Renaissance and Georgian engravings blanketed in everyday detritus, modern ephemera and classical stencils.
A diet of ever-changing colour, with velvet hues, flourescent outbursts and unexpected complexions.
Old soft drink cans, disregarded packaging and discarded motherboards are expertly re-assembled in an exciting declamatory recitation of social archaeology.
Chris Orr exhibited works in Bone Idol at 45downstairs in June 2015. Order artworks here.
The works of the Bone Idol exhibition are pigment prints to archival rag paper or premium semi gloss, printed by JCP Studios in Melbourne.
Images are float mounted and framed in Tasmanian oak by Greg von Menge framers.
