"Mike Inglis’s striking three dimensional installation NEW EDEN (Ex Video Drive-In shop front, 83-85 Church Street) explores the idea of a contemporary Garden of Eden in a reinterpretation of Albrecht Dürer’s 1504 engraving the Creation of Adam and Eve. The strong graphic style in stark black, white and red, depicting a faceless space boy and girl attended by four skeletal humours, translates the allegorical language of art relegated to history into a graffiti tag for our time.
Greed is the new religion and The Fall into consumerism belongs to us all. This is an intelligent multilayered work from the outer layer of stencil on glass through the tableaux of figures and arterial trees. The theatrical setting of the work contributes to our narrative reading of it, while the style of design makes it instantly accessible. Well crafted both in terms of ideas and technique, Inglis’s work is a welcome and thought-provoking addition to the Old Town streetscape and a timely comment on the state of the planet."
