"Inscrutable Mystery Guide"

SHAG aka Josh Agle

running in Melbourne, Sydney and Perth until mid-September.

This exhibition is set to embrace Shag's new direction towards a darker mood, more surreal subject matter and more complex compositions.

This work is playful, but I've tried to throw a couple spanners into what people might expect from my art. I've created 99 small, colorful paintings of tikis, but each tiki bears a symbol.

"Inscrutable Mystery Guide" is actually the little book that accompanies each small tiki painting. It's my hope that the books won't be seen by anyone except the person who owns one of those paintings. I want to bring them into my own little cult and tell them some secrets.

In addition, I've created several large, panoramic canvases which will give further clues as to what the whole thing is all about. In the past year my work has gotten darker and moved into new themes and imagery, but I'm trying to reconcile my old body of work with my new work, and trying not to be as manic depressive and serious as I was in the last year or so. - Josh Agle aka Shag

Outré will be hosting a series of gala openings across the three cities with the artist out from Los Angeles for the events.

This exhibition will mark our first major international exhibition at our new Perth gallery!
