Mother-In-Law by George Burchett
An Exclusive Project by NIYOS LTD
5 - 6 Aug 2023
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, Mother-In-Law, in collaboration with NIYOS.
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.
The Mother-In-Law project has been a collaboration over the past two years with NIYOS, led by Adrian Jones, a leading technology innovator for the art world that has developed the Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) components of the project.
