Liberty Gallery

^{ONE MONTH STAND}
^{PREVIEW 6th NOVEMBER 2008
viewing until 27th November}

After two years of residing in Sydney, Erin Forsyth has returned to Auckland for one month to produce a series of new work for the Launch of Liberty Gallery..

In 2006 Erin Forsyth, (former proprietor of sneaker/aerosol concept store Creep) set off to Sydney, where she produced two successful solo exhibitions; Illness at Somedays Gallery in 2007, and Hex at Black and Blue Gallery in March of this year.
Her illustrations featured in Illness drew comparisons with the work of famed graffiti artist/illustrator and tattooist Mike Giant. Hex was featured in Australia’s Yen magazine and selected as ‘pick of the week’ by local publication The Brag in which Erin was also referred to as part of “the cream of the Sydney underground art scene”.

Solo projects aside, Erin readily contributed to community and group exhibitions most notably with the prestigious Monster Children Gallery and the 2008 Design is Kinky Exhibition, Kids Today hosted by MTV Gallery.

Various commissions followed which included an A2 poster for Australian publication Don’t Panic, illustrations for the cult classic Duke Magazine and aerosol work for paint brand Sabotaz.

In fitting with her productive nature One Month Stand is a completely new body of work, created over the last month, since her return to Auckland.

One Month Stand is Erin’s first solo exhibition in NZ since I can’t believe it’s not Rabbit in 2003. The exhibition delivers an in depth view into Erin’s love affair with the misguided and restless youth of the city.
