Wake The Tiger offers a unique, immersive and interactive art exhibition, with many intricately made environments. Visitors are given the chance to explore each exhibit at their own pace and an intriguing backstory is woven in to give the audience a deeper connection with the environment. As one of the commissioned artists, my role was to create a piece of work in response to prompts, to be shared in a dedicated gallery space and available for visitors to purchase as a physical print and an NFT.
This piece creates a unique reimagining by exploring the possibilities of characters in outer space or sci-fi stories. It was mainly influenced by the concept of "who is observing who", while combining elements of portraiture and geometry. With vibrant contrasting colors and textures set against the use of black negative space in a style heavily influenced by pop art.
In response to the provocation "The Universe is unfathomably large and possibly will continue to expand forever," the "Wake the Tiger" gallery room was created to feel like the hole it has created goes on forever. Within this central trench will be the four Platonic solids, each of which will be lit up individually. Audience members are invited to enter the structure, and the mirrors will cast an image of them that seemingly repeats forever.
