    “Water is life's mater and matrix, mother and medium. There is no life without water.” - Albert Szent-Gyorgyi (1893-1986)

    Drawing upon the notions of lineage, and cultural narratives, coupled with an exploration of fictional, astrological and mythological thematic devices, the artist’s work is a reactionary portrayal of the mystical resonance surrounding the irrevocably capricious elements akin to Mother Nature.

    In addition, through the application of traditional and contemporary mediums, the artist aspires to bring to life the emotive resonance that informed each work. Being a harmonic melody or particular traits of a fictional character - each work functions to the equivalence of a protagonist within a story – aspiring to break the mould of misconceptions and the superficial ideal of “surface value” within society. And in doing so, shine light on a world of multi-tiered traits that inform and define a bigger picture.

    Floating through the stylistic void, like a piece of driftwood, the artist working under the pseudonym of Shui seeks, in the application of a unique methodology, to transcend the boundaries of what visual works can accomplish on emotional, intellectual and physical levels with audiences on a global scale.

Scouting Emerging artists

As of recent I’ve been approached by the highly accredited curators of ambush gallery within Sydney - responsible for the “Outpost: art from the streets exhibition” - recorded to be the largest urban art exhibition of the southern hemisphere to date. Due to confidentiality my only required output to the public audience is localized towards the scouting or finding of 4 representatives for the generation of emerging artists - please share this around I have 1 year to settle on decisions. Any links or recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Warm regards.

Shui
