Tallawong and Norwest: Living and Dreaming in this City by Ghostpatrol

Tasmanian born, Melbourne-based artist Ghostpatrol’s practice is grounded in a passion for drawing and sketching. He has always been split between street-based works, including temporary sculptures and installations, and contemporary studio-based practice that culminates in regular exhibitions in prominent private and public institutions across Australia and internationally.

The whimsical and innocent nature of his work seemingly opposes his conceptual concerns with metaphysics, quantum physics, cosmology and futurism.

About the artwork - Living and Dreaming in this City

The artwork explores the network of all living things in this place and bridges the gap between the built and the living world. Plants and creatures are interwoven with people from all corners of our globe – playing, wandering, dreaming and exploring. The work represents discovery and adventure and encourages us to find a destination yet travelled.
