NEVER EVER ENDING is a boundless new exhibition by the artist duo Creature Creature, as they continue their eternal journey of collaboration and creativity. The show is a reflection on their past work and future dreams, as they commemorate 8 years since one of their earliest exhibitions in the same space. It continues the narrative initiated in NEVER ENDING back in 2015 as the pair linger in the perpetual themes of duality, infinity, unbroken loops and the symbolic ouroboros.


The enclosed realms and floating worlds of these new artworks will remind you of the connection between all things, from the natural universe to our own limitless consciousness.

Rabbit Yin Yang Print


Available now through Outre:

Click here


This print was created with the help of two local printers with two distinct processes. Hound and Bone in Brunswick helped us achieve premium archival digital printing on fine art paper, and then we turned to Hungry Workshop in Brunswick East to add embellishments of gold foil stamping, using their amazing presses. This is the first time either printer had done a project like this so the result is unique and special, the merge of old and new print technologies. 


Our artwork Rabbit Yin Yang was originally created for the Lunar New Year celebration in Chinatown commissioned by the City of Melbourne. This was one of the favourite artworks designed for the year of the Water Rabbit in 2023.

Temple of Boom at the NGV

We painted a few sections of this epic structure. A soaring Pegasus at the top front, a Hydra labyrinth of snake heads on the floor coming from a single pillar, an Amphisbaena and Cerberus on smaller pillars.

Big thanks to the superstar curator Toby from Just another agency, the architects Adam Newman and Kelvin Tsang, and so great to be along side many inspiring artists: David Lee Pereira, Manda Lane, Resio, Aretha Brown, Chuck Mayfield and Drez.

Recently returned to Melbourne  from and amazing experience/project at Yorke Peninsula, South Australia. We painted a water tank and shed in the small town of Coobowie in collaboration with @jasonparkerart who focused on local flora while we painted various water birds of the area and patterns of water. Thanks you to @yorkepeninsula council @sawatercorp and everyone who made this project possible. And thank you Yorke Peninsula for your unbelievable untouched beauty, we feel very fortunate to work and explore this region for the last couple of weeks.

Our latest show 'Hold Hands' opened 30th August at Outre Gallery 319 Smith st, Ftizroy. There are still some remaining works available online through the gallery:

Click here to see a catalogue of the artwork



HOLD HANDS features a body of new work by the artist duo, manifesting the message of togetherness, illustrating these states of balance and harmony, and the beauty of coming together. Through composition, colour and symbols, the philosophy of collaboration is brought to life. Creatures such as canine, birds, fish and horses are depicted in packs, animals that are often living and working together to receive the benefits from this collective family. It is a lesson for us all, the connection you foster with the community around you, is important for survival, just as these other species. In its nature, Creature Creature represents duality and the sum of a whole, looking forward, it advocates collaboration in a boarder sense to affirm values of diversity, kinship and prosperity. Drinks will be provided by our friends at Bodriggy Brewing Co.

Chaos Born by Creature Creature


Thanks to everyone who came and supported us! 


18th May 2018 from 6pm at Off the Kerb 66 Johnston st, Collingwood, Victoria.

In their creation myth, Yin and Yang were born out of chaos in the centre of the earth. The principles state that one thing cannot exist without its opposite, contrast is needed to create a distinguishable reality, without which we would experience nothingness.

Creature Creature want to promote collaboration as a philosophy. Their partnership breaks the myth of the lone artist, as collaboration is an instinctive ritual for them in realms of art and life. They share the vision of a collaborative future, a model for society that survives on a community rather than self interest and ego; a balance of individualism and collectivism.

This philosophy is translated with design principles: Balance, harmony, repetition, contrast, proximity, hierarchy, proportion, dynamism and movement. Collaboration is about preserving diversity, creating something complex, layered and fluid. The natural state of working together.

Creature Creature's exhibition at Outre Gallery, ‘Binary Star’, is a literal representation of their forces combined, symbolising dualism which is present in many relationships. A binary star is a pair of stars which orbit around a common centre of mass, and remain united by the bond of their own mutual gravitation towards each other. Creature Creature draws comparisons to the structure of a Binary Star to relationships between humans, looking at the way in which the elements remain united through their own mutual gravitation towards each other. Delving into concepts which could enhance such a gravitational effect such as “yin and yang and the philosophy of balance.”

‘X’ is a selection on work created during our residency in Qbank Gallery Queenstown from 6/2/17 to 24/2/17.

Our work for this exhibition follows similar themes we have being exploring throughout our art practice of dualism, contrast and opposing forces. This comes from our process of collaboration.

X is a symbol that represents this balance, repetition and symmetry. X is our paths crossed, our union and marks the spot of our destination.

We aimed to explore this narrative through various subject matter. The skulls can be seen as a symbol of finality. In our work, the skulls have openings, entrances and exists, suggesting a beginning to an end. The wolf like creature is one of our own creation, melding canine species with the elegance of a gazelle or horse. Their presence is both sinister and a display of beauty. Other motifs are simple recollections of what we have seen in our time in Tasmania.

With our juxtaposition of styles and concepts, we hope to create harmony within the work and turn conflicting ideas and energy into one force.

DAGGERS

Creature Creature's latest series of work is about bringing inward disposition to the surface with a demonstration of high intensity and romantic drama.

Illustrating the internal with outward displays of armoury, weapons, creatures and colours. Symbolic representations of fortitude.

Visual style and motifs comes from both a past and future aesthetics resulting in a series of characters, and sense of narrative and mythology: stories of new/old heroes and superpowers.

Our third Solo show was held at No Vacancy QV in Melbourne CBD with our good mate Joshua Smith on board as curator. We had a great experience with him for our very first show at his renowned Espionage Gallery and this proved to be just as fantastic if not more.
Here is the event page!

 

November 2014

Our work was in Revolver, a giant piece on the wall.

'Coming up on Saturday 2nd of November we are excited to have the duo Creature Creature come down and paint and draw our November posterwall live! 
The piece is called 'Dead dreams' and will utilise a printed backdrop combined with the live drawn elements in their distinctive style. It all kicks off at 6pm so come down grab a bite to eat at Colonel Tan's, have a few drinks and listen to some tunes from Rex and Booshank as Creature Creature do their thing.'

July 2013

Our second solo show 'Bruiser'! Thanks for the support, we raised funds for our trip to NYC in August.

The Exhibition launched CHAOTIC GALLERY in Melbourne.
CHAOTIC GALLERY is a new gallery in the heart of Windsor (down a lively cobblestone Laneway running between Union Street and Green Street). This Laneway already features some of Melbourne's 'best Street Art' and is dedicated to supporting established and emerging Street Artists from Melbourne and beyond.

The Gallery is owned and run by Anne & Wayne Tindall with David Russell as Curator.
“BRUISER” by Creature Creature will feature a bold new series of artwork revolving around combatants, duellist and the fighting spirit. Many of the pieces are portraiture inspired by historical female warriors.

This new body of work stays true to the style of Creature Creature, blending street art, illustration and design, with concepts of duality, east meets west, and the natural world. As well as many appearances from their alter egos. Dragon and Unicorn!

March 2013

Creature Creature's first solo show was a great success! Over 25 works sold! 

Big thanks to everyone supporting us.
