Giant Mural & Exhibition @ The Boardroom skate & bike shop, Greystones.

Wallnut

Hey all,

here's a few picks from an exhibition that is currently running in The Boardroom skate & bike shop, main st, Greystones, Co. Wicklow.
Its a solo exhibition by Bray based skateboarder & artist and human pyramids collective member and Waterford municipal collections newest acquisition, Philip Evans.

For those who can't make it down I'll use the realm of internets to give you a walk through of the show. The show runs for one week only- daily in the Boardroom, (turn left out of Greystones DART station, last shop on the left) from 10am to 6pm until and including Saturday 19th of June.

Before I begin the tour internet tour, here's a summarised context- The show is about mob mentality and how people's fears of what everyone might think can get in the way of their dreams or their true self. I used multiple homogeneous characters to form over-bearing figures so as you pass through the space you get the feeling of being outnumbered and small. A lot of the canvas works point to how the mob can be omnipresent, but the inclusion of some inspirational and unshakeable characters like George Hook & Eamon Dunphy show that the mob's opinion is only as big or important as you make it yourself.
