NIOR, FAR & AWAY: 2.10.08
No Vacancy presented the first solo show of Melbourne based artists Nior.
It was an amazing opening night show, and full credit must go out to Nior for all the hard work over the past months to prepare for this spectacular exhibition of new works.
The new collection of work by Nior combines the natural world with a surreal twist.
Using recycled timber as his canvas his paintings depict innocent creatures with detailed fur, feathers and textured colours.
The exhibition also includes a large 3D installation which continues the theme with recycled materials.
