Geo Law Exhibition

During my student ambassador duties I was able to view the Geo Law exhibition at Vernon Street.

The works consisted of roughly twenty character-based illustrations which all followed a similar formula; an anthropomorphic figure holding a staff or sword. I found these works somewhat repetitive

I found the two large murals far more interesting; each was drawn in front of an audience, and for that reason they seem far looser and variable. The use of line is highly developed and confident; the mistakes I noticed were incorporated into the design rather than ignored or erased.

Geo Law is often commissioned to create murals in dull office environments, which is the reason the established aesthetic is so pleasant and wild. So, perhaps the reason I find the murals more interesting, is because I appreciate their purpose, while the portraits seem more like a well polished series of visual developments.
