WE'RE NOT ON CANVAS ANYMORE

Wheat paste-up I posted in Hosier Lane in Melbourne in January this year. A relative concept playing on the well known phrase 'We're not in Kansas anymore' as I was in a place by myself that I didn't know very well. Also emphasises the fact that street art is usually anything off the canvas.

CACTUS

Joel Matheson | Cactus 2013

Acrylic on Canvas | 77 x 51cm

This was painted as a means of social critique and what was thought to be normalised terminology. The outcome in turn is rather humorous -- using the phrase 'cactus' to be symbolic of fatigue, yet using the lineal representation of the prickly green turtle neck to draw expose this connotation. However I think it may still be an inside joke that a select few understand.
