Exhibition: Typefaces & Heroes by Brian Omolo, Aug. 2 – 23 @ Que pasa Bar & Bistro
Typeface & heroes is an art exhibition of Brian Omolo’s latest works
Opening: August 2, 2013
Venue: the Que pasa Bar & Bistro
Time: 6 pm
Exhibition Runs until August 23, 2013
The typeface artworks are little wisdoms and experiences that the artist has picked up along his journey as a designer, boiled down into a series of artworks that people can enjoy.
The hero artworks are an attempt to show a cross cultural upbringing. Growing up we all loved heroes like superman and batman but also loved hearing about the mighty animals of the wild like lions, tigers and gorillas so the idea of mixing them together to see awesomeness happen was quite fascinating.
