This summer, prolific illustrator, sculptor, musician and blogger Jim Stoten will exhibit a large collection of magnificent flying machines at Dream Bags Jaguar Shoes.
*ZOOOOM!* – SCULPTURE
A fleet of large-scale technicolour toy planes will take on an imaginative and incredible twist, bursting forth from the walls and ceilings filling the space above the viewers head.
*WHOOSH!* – ILLUSTRATION
New illustrative works will be presented as detailed wallpapers and murals that will envelope his squadron of amazing aviators. The bright colours and visuals will bring a surreal dynamic to the space, creating a depth and explosion of excitement above and around the viewer.
*POW!* – LASERS, PROJECTIONS & HOLOGRAPHIC GLASSES
Lights, lasers and projected visuals interspersed amongst the flying objects create an other-worldly atmosphere that will transport the viewer into the psychedelia. These lit elements can take on a whole new dynamic with the use of a viewing device. Light is split diffused and manipulated, the viewer can see bursts of colour and light create rainbows that streak across the sky. A truly otherworldly viewpoint for the show which will transport the viewing public onto another plain of perception.
*BLAM!* – LIVE MUSIC AND WORKSHOPS
Jim Stoten will bring into the venue his bizarre band of misfits ‘Owen & The Eyeballs’ for some exclusive gigs! With their trademark style, insane costumes and spirited music, these shows are not to be missed.You can even sign up to take part in some creative workshops delivered by Jim himself as he teaches you to build and craft your very own psychedelic suit!
