"Aspects of Syncretism" amazing new works by Seymour!!!

After working and showing for an extensive period in Europe and the US, Peter Kelk aka Seymour is back sculpting, drawing, and creating on Australasian soil. In conjunction with Wellingtons master of pop and lowbrow art, Eyeball Kicks Gallery, Seymour is proud to present his first solo show in New Zealand in over 6 years titled ‘Aspects of Syncretism’. The show is inspired by the eclectic religions, mythology and theology that he was exposed to during his travels home through South East Asia. The aesthetic of the show combines artistic, religious and cultural impressions taken from a set of varied beliefs and traditions. I seriously love his work... and am used to seeing his 3D sculpted figures, so the fact that this medium is something different (plush, and 2D drawings), it really shows the artistic diversity Seymour is capable of... and hot damn does it look good!

Working mostly onsite during his journey, the show presents a collection of small daily drawings, a visual progression and documentation, that summarize the aspects of Syncretism as he experienced them. The show will also include a body of large scale reflective pieces completed in the months after his return. Fans of Seymours vivid, fanciful and dark signature style are sure to love viewing this latest collection first hand and are invited to the opening of ‘Aspects of Syncretism’ at ‘Eyeball Kicks Gallery’ on June 28th at 7pm.
