Join us on Tuesday March 18th at Cube Gallery to welcome the artists for this year’s Frankston Street Art Festival and open the exhibition - a Cube gallery solo show by Morano and Aleks Grilz in the Glass Cube.
Morano’s show is MOSCA & CVBØIDS - MOSCA challenges resilience and serenity in a chaotic world, inviting deep emotional reflection. CVBØIDS, a mixed-media series on repurposed cardboard, explores our shifting identities through ever-changing forms.
You can also cast your vote in the People’s Choice Award to select one of the artists for next year’s line up! Nibbles and drinks from 6-8pm - registration essential.
This year we have eight new murals being painted, including one artist Aleks Grilz painting inside the Glass Cube from Monday March 17 - Saturday 22 every day, Mon to Fri 10-5 Sat 10-2, so drop by and see him in action!
Also, come down to the Block Party on Saturday 22nd March in Gallery Lane and White St Mall where we have DJs Pixleton and CuznMatt and performs Snuff Puppets, plus street art workshops, food trucks and local alcohol vendors.
MORANO's Cube Gallery exhibition Mosca & CVBØIDS
Mosca
"Mosca" is an intimate experience that challenges us about our own capacity for resilience and the search for serenity in an environment that often overwhelms us. The exhibition invites us to connect with our deepest emotions and to reflect on how we face the challenges of daily life in a complex world.
CVBØIDS
"Created from mixed media on repurposed cardboard packaging, my latest series investigates the hidden faces we wear within. CVBØIDS is variable, divisible, movable and ephemeral, with each configuration revealing contradictions and correspondences that are forever shaping and sculpting our fleeting states of being."
BIO
Born in Barcelona city, his family moved to the suburbs where Morano grew up hemmed in by industrial estates, drawing and painting emerged as tools for self-exploration and expression.
As a kid, painting on the streets started to become an obsession. Drawn to graffiti, he was heavily influenced by the illustrations of vinyl covers and skate graphics. At the age of thirteen, he started to make his first murals, a mix of lettering and characters then figurative scenes.
Morano became a very active and notorious graffiti artist during the '90s, participating in numerous exhibitions and appearing regularly in the independent scene publications.
Morano has evolved over the years into a visual artist who explores his art beyond traditional painting and street art using technology to add movement and sound.
Since making the Mornington Peninsula his home in 2016, he has integrated into the local art scene, showcasing his work in various exhibitions and embracing the community spirit.
