Location: The Rodrigo Lounge. 447 King St, Newtown.

This art show is dedicated to highlight the art of CREATUR from the last few years whilst celebrating a time for new beginnings.

CREATUR is a Sydney based contemporary artist who uses their artistic style to highlight his thoughts and feelings.

“My art is focused around characters, which I call ‘creatures’. They appear to look like mutated humans - my idea of a thought or emotion put into a character. Some people consider my art to look like a slug or an alien, however; I am depicting my interpretation of an underdeveloped human. To me, this symbolises rebirth. I use the concept of rebirth in my art as it highlights stages of coming out with my sexuality from a young age. Once we come out of our shell we start to tell our own story and develop our own personality. My portraits are dark, with a twist of emotion which appears to be scary, anxious looking, and a face that tells a story. A story that wants to look to the future, but is hiding behind a mask. 

  I sometimes use the structure of a cicada, as this insect symbolises rebirth.  I use these concepts to attract my viewer to express my story by developing my characters into artworks, stickers and digital works.

Pride Collection 

My Pride Collection is a series of artworks that represents a character formation of my personal identity. My creatures are a representation of my ideas - spirits that crown me. The rainbows shine through the cracks of the sun while the characters repair an anxious soul.

Pride is an expression, to show our colours and unique identities. Pride is being able to say - you are you, I am me, I am CREATUR. “

CREATUR has been exhibiting his works throughout many established Sydney art galleries and group shows, continuing to develop his style. What’s next for CREATUR? You will have to wait and see!
