Artists’ @MCRT.Studio will launch Through the Stars a 33-piece portraiture collection at White Canvas, Newstead. The Art Studio has collaborated with Brisbane’s Pioneering Antique Centre, Empire Revival formerly known as The Paddington Antique Centre, to curate an euphoric and cosmic exhibition.

Through the Stars aims to celebrate life’s authentic relationships by visually portraying the fault in our perception of digital relationships with celebrity figures. The artworks spotlight the developments in digital, social and reality media, which have created a direct channel for users to engage with celebrity personas. The collection aims to highlight the affinity felt towards these ‘stars’ as a skewed perception of relationships.

@MCRT.Studio reflects the distance to these human ‘stars’ by implementing the use of texture sampling inspired by NASA satellite imagery of distant luminaries in their work.
