The Thousands

A reliable source informs me that as well as the likes of Kanye West, Bjork, Morrissey, Madonna and Amy Winehouse, “there will be lots of colour and beer” at the opening of this show. Do you need to hear any more? Probably not, right? I mean you are the kind of charmer who reads The Thousands, so probably you are wrist-deep in highly-pigmented occasions full of popular musicians from all walks of genre, some of whom are dead. But I think I am supposed to write more than two sentences here, so:

… Actually the celebrities will (probably) only be there in portrait form. Little Gonzales is a self-taught Sydney-based drawer of things who works across illustration, graphic design, animation and film. His work has a lot of that aforementioned colour and is clean and confident, but not afraid of a curlicue when the time is right. The portraits in POP make up LG’s first solo art show. It takes its name from the industry of its subjects, and also the Pop Art movement, the influence of which is evident both stylistically and thematically in the High/Low, commercial/abstract, subject/icon whole thing going on with it.
