Opening Friday, May 23
Created by international, Melbourne-based artist Marco Luccio, Myth, Mayhem and Metropolis brings together four significant bodies of work that explore ancient myths, personal narratives and elements of the modern world.
The Postcard Series, Tales from the Greek Series and The Garden of Sorrows and Aphrodite Series draw inspiration from Greek mythology, offering a modern interpretation of ancient tales. The Manhattan Series was created during the artist’s trips to New York City and captures the vibrant energy of the urban landsape.
At Myth, Mayhem and Metropolis, the viewer is invited to consider their own connection to love, urban life and myth, offering a fresh perspective on the stories that define us.
