Joy and the possibilities of creative communion ground the practice of Vipoo Srivilasa<\/a> (previously<\/a>). The artist, who lives and works between Australia and Thailand, is known for his ceramic sculptures that take an ebullient approach to life.<\/p>\n

Standing between one and two feet tall, Srivilasa\u2019s figures are clad in floral baubles, mandala-like motifs, and gold details, often with their fingers shaped like a V. The lively characters invoke both the mundane and the divine as they portray aspects of the spiritual world while firmly rooted on the earth. <\/p>\n

A collection of Srivilasa\u2019s sculptures opens this month at Edwina Corlette<\/a> in a solo exhibition titled Iconic Figures: Devas, Deities and Divas. Bringing together 15 years of the artist\u2019s practice, the show features both his signature white and blue materials, along with a more recent foray into terracotta, a mix that bridges Srivilasa\u2019s cultural heritages.<\/p>\n

Iconic Figures runs from August 20 to September 16 in New Farm, Queensland. Find more from Srivilasa on his website<\/a> and Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n
