Mango in Moonlight

Mango in Moonlight is part of my recent solo exhibition "Dream Machines". It is in fact depicting my own dream machine and ongoing project, a 1974 Toyota Corolla Ke25 coupe.
Dream Machines is a voyage into a realm of mystical fluid forms, bending and dissolving around machines at the forefront. Each work reimagines the automobile as psychic presence, shifting between dreams and landscapes of vibrant colour. Referencing an era of Kyusha car design during the 1970s & ‘80s, this body of work invites viewers to be hypnotised by these Kaido racers as they drift through dynamic abstractions.

This artwork is ready to hang with an alligator mount on the back side of the wood panel frame.

Working as an interdisciplinary artist, Oli Ruskidd has refined a unique style that blurs the
lines between his physical and digital practice. Exploring the relationship between organic
elements and hypnotic patterns, Ruskidd captures a cosmic realm that exists beyond the
minds eye. Fascinated with ancient creatures and patterns found in nature, his work is
often characterised with vibrant colours and free-flowing psychedelic form.

Ruskidd has cultivated a language of movement and life within his practice, melding kinetic
energy into his meticulously detailed works. By adapting a diverse range of techniques and
media, he has developed an extensive catalogue of work featuring intricate airbrush
paintings & large scale murals, to digital 3D designs.

Best known for painting with Aerosols to create large scale public mural installations, he
has worked with a variety of private and council commissions.

Alongside his artist career, Oli Ruskidd has founded Lousy Ink; a sustainable artist focused
business that reclaims printer cartridge waste into a range of creative art materials. During
the past few years, Lousy Ink has hosted a variety of exhibitions and projects to feature
local and up-coming artists in Melbourne and beyond.
