Mother-In-Law by George Burchett: An Exclusive Project by NIYOS LTD

Real-life sculptures meet their Augmented Reality identical twins in accomplished international artist George Burchett’s debut Kuala Lumpur exhibition at A+ Works of Art.

Born in Hanoi, raised in Southeast Asia, and with an extraordinary life lived across multiple continents, Australian artist George Burchett has long been a one-off trailblazer. The Mother in-Law project combines his extraordinary cross-cultural experiences with his lifelong use of pioneering technologies to create original art works that – uniquely – are each produced in four simultaneous ‘dimensions’.

Each Mother-in-Law tells her own story, whether cultural, historical, or mythical. These stories are informed by George’s astonishing life experience and decades of learning from literature, formal studies and living history. From Lambretta, an artwork inspired by the sassy Vietnamese women who zip around Hanoi on their scooters, to Ya Kuza, a secretly tattooed Mother-in-Law inspired by Japanese gangsters and anime, George has created art works which resonate, delight and reveal themselves over time.

Each Mother-in-Law is first conceived and created by hand by George at his studio in Hanoi. Being a family creative studio, George’s son Graham uses his mastery of 3D to render each artwork into a unique 3D form. The numbered one-off sculptures are then produced using the studio’s state-of-the-art 3D colour printers. Each sculpture takes up to a week or more to produce, using a largely carbon neutral thermoplastic polyester, known as PLA.
