Artwork Description

A playful twist on Gil Scott-Heron's politically-charged poem. Gil's poem signals an end of time for dominant white culture, while the Revelation of John signals an end of everything. It will not be televised - you will live it (if it happens, LOL, yeah nah) - but it will be a Helluva lot weirder than what John imagined - probably somewhere between William Burroughs and Las Vegas on a good night.

Artist Bio

Prize-winning thorough-bred Kristian Eldritch (a.k.a. Xtian; Gadzooxtian) was conceived in East Germany but was born in Hungary - that makes him one part Australian and two parts former communist.
His preferred medium is hand-made collage, a tangible object in a digital world.
He's been making collages since he was 8 years old - but has not been adverse to making music or short animations. The images produced are stories and mysteries, comprehension is just beyond the horizon.
He has exhibited and been published both locally and overseas - most recently by Melbourne-based Jimmy Hornet magazine.
He is one half of the now-fifteen-years-old-and-still-growing - digital exquisite corpse project The Infinite Collage (over 130m long!), and is the creator of several volumes of surreal collage comics.

Commissions

Kristian's studio is in Melbourne
