KERRY LENNON

Thank you for looking. 

Masquerading as out-of-home advertising, I have translated my 92x61cm oil painting to a gigantic billboard format, resized, with a headline added, and hung at the corner of Fitzroy and Collingwood for a week.

Don't Look Out of Home, is an independently funded, temporary, contemporary art response to the push-pull tension that intersects daily life. Routines anchor us, mark time, carry on, repeat, against the noise that inserts itself into our day-to-day backdrop; our faces in front of screens. 

The still-life composition is full of textures that invite you in. I use a bold colour palette to hyper-visualise the mundane and our overlooked domesticity. The balloon arrives with a snap of the fingers, its abstract 3D ribbon interjecting the composition, and brings an element of animation. The cat, as an object, is a marker of the domestic occupation. Cats insert themselves into our environment with indifference and find the best spot. They find respite in the presence without conscience, should we?  

Don't look Out of Home, operates between satire, and the uncanny, reflecting on how attention is distributed in contemporary life. It considers what it means to look,and not look, within a shared but distracting world.

This artist wondered if anyone would look up from their screens to see it; it's a bit absurd if you look hard enough. 

YOUR SUPPORT MEANS A LOT!

Independent contemporary art often survives through direct community support, conversation, and people choosing to value slow-looking in an increasingly distracted world. Thank you for being here.
