At our last First Monday we were acquainted with the work of Eamon O’Toole. Eamon is a self confessed revhead, artist and dirt bike rider and is fuelled by his life-long passion for all things motorsport — a passion which he turns into sculptural creations of his favourite motorbikes and cars.
Eamon spoke of a lifetime obsession with sculpture and gave us full details of his complete career in art.
Painstakingly created out of hand-moulded plastic, enamel, aluminium foil, texta and more, Eamon's works are authentic scaled replicas of an impressive array of motor vehicles, tools, and motorsport paraphernalia.
It is not always possible to discern art in installations but in this case it is easy to comprehend the artistic input in his sculptures. Eamon has managed to mould a mixture of things into his interesting take on motor sport which has resulted in an enjoyable display.
Join us at our next 'First Monday' at the Benalla Art Gallery, Monday 3 July at 10am, for an artist talk by Aunty Desiree Walker, coinciding with the display of her work within the exhibition Interwoven: Stories of Country from North and South. Stay behind afterwards and join others for a coffee and chat at the Munro and Sargent Cafe.
