Pictoral Aural: Visual Interpretations of Music by Marcus Oakley
May 14, 2008 | Levent OZLER
Gallery Hanahou presents the musically-inspired artwork of UK artist Marcus Oakley, whose cheery paintings capture the color, form, and sentiment of various songs from the 1970s and '80s.
This syneshestically- pleasing collection of new original works will delight the eyes and beckon the ears to hear sounds from decades past.
The artist will also hold a talk and workshop, titled "What Does Sound Look Like?," on May 23, 11 am at gallery hanahou.
The talk will include a discussion and Q&A, plus an interactive workshop in which participants will be encouraged to use visual mediums to explore what sound looks like to them.
Marcus Oakley is admired for his charmingly simple style that at once exudes both nostalgia and currency.
His illustrations have been published worldwide, and he has exhibited in solo shows in London, New York, Milan, and Edinburgh.
