Teaching Guitar to a Couple of Inquisitive Neighbours Art Print - By Avery Gibbes
As someone who plays the guitar quite a bit, the guitar tends to find its way into my art from time to time. While I was brainstorming new scenarios to act as the basis of new paintings, I thought it would be funny if a couple of the aliens saw one of the humans playing the guitar and wanted to know how to play it themselves. I liked the idea because while most of the other paintings in the series show the humans learning and growing in this alien world, this idea was one instance where that gets flipped around and a human has the chance to offer something of their own to the aliens.
Whenever you are in a new environment, particularly when you're young, it can be easy to feel like you don't know anything and don't have anything to offer. This idea recalls the moment when you realize that you do have something unique or worthwhile to give to the world—even if just small—and the sense of belonging that comes with that.
“Paintings of Another Universe” is a series of paintings that explore the “what ifs” of an imaginary situation where a small number of humans suddenly exist within a fictional alien world. This series is about the feeling of being an outsider after entering an unfamiliar world, and about gradually finding one’s place within it. This narrative sits at the core of the series, and each painting serves to further explore this narrative and to further build the world within which it is taking place.
More About the Artist:
Avery Gibbes is an artist based in Oshawa, Ontario and a graduate of OCAD University. Working primarily in painting, his current practice revolves around the continual creation and exploration of an imaginary alien world. At the centre of his work are imagined narratives taking place in made-up environments, and these are constructed through sketches that experiment with designs and explore scenarios. Each painting builds off of the previous one, giving viewers a deeper look into what exists within the world that he is showcasing.
