BEASTMAN BEGINS

China Heights Gallery
Sydney, Australia
November 2008

Beastman (Bradley Eastman) is an artist, designer and photographer from Sydney, Australia. Using acrylic and ink he produces intricately detailed artworks on canvas and wood, depicting a parallel world of scaly skinned, bold outlined, beast-like characters existing in geometric environments.

Years of skateboarding around the streets of Sydney has strongly influenced his characters, concepts and unique style, developed over a decade of drawing in sketchbooks and shooting photos. Heraldry, family, friendship, human influence on nature, the ocean, violence, symmetry, spirits, birth and the afterlife are all themes which are evident in his artwork.

This is Beastman's first solo exhibition.
