Antipods is pleased to introduce USQ artist AJ Gogas: Colour Submissive



AJ Gogas
Colour Submissive
2014, 
wooden structures and textile elements,
dimensions  variable.

Colour Submissive is an installation piece that I have created to explore the depths of mental health. Guided by personal experience, this art work establishes an immersive environment where the viewer not only views the work but becomes an attribute to the work. The prime focus on sculptural elements creates recognition of my previous work, facilitating the unavoidable participation of those within the environment and their mentality. The initial presence of the artwork developed through vibrant colours, inviting textures and delicate yet strong shadows and forms institutes a forward relationship with the mind. Colour Submissive refines these connections through confronting limitations, tensions and the directly obvious, repetitive and some-what obsessive processes.

  1. I am interested in doing a response work to your work, AJ Gogas. I'm very interested in your installation piece and the meanings...

  2. I am drawn into the work by the vibrant colour and I stay to ponder "Is knitting a ritual that calms my compulsion ? I returned to your work to let my mind participate .
