Concrete Monstrosity Exhibition

David Morris and I worked together to create a show that celebrated brutalist architecture using traditional photography. Concrete Monstrosity opened at Alchemy Studios on September 1st, 2023,

A second showing of Concrete Monstrosity took place at Revolver nightclub in Melbourne on the 22nd of September. It was a truly surreal experience to see our works displayed on a wall between original artworks by renowned artists such as Obey Giant, Banksy, and 1UP crew.

Artist statement:

Gascoine & Morris present Concrete Monstrosity, a photographic exhibition exploring the misunderstood beauty of brutalist architecture. 

For a few short decades, concrete combined with the post-war artistic boom ushered in a new era of architecture – one where the limitations of form and finish were undefined. But, over time, the public sentiment shifted, not helped by politicians and developers labelling these imaginative creations as 'Concrete Monstrosities'. Rather than fight it, this exhibition embraces the monstrous label and offers the viewer a lens – a clean slate, if you will – to look at and appreciate these beautiful monsters with fresh eyes.
