LON Gallery is pleased to present on exhibition of new sculptures by Naarm/ Melbourne based artist, Adam Stone.

A further enquiry into the artists' ongoing interest in the Garden of Eden myth, the works in Sunset Decor imagine a dystopian, post­industrial garden fashioned from materials primarily used in civil construction. The exhibition draws inspiration from the monumental Salvation Mountain created by folk artist Antonie Martin and the sets of George Miller's Mad Max, which become a point of departure for the works in the exhibition. These works straddle the fulcrum between humour and sincerity, both playfully speculating on a dystopian future and romanticising the human capacity for creativity in adversity; as seen through retro science fiction cinema.

Stripped bore of conventional beauty, the works in Sunset Decor perhaps represent a second iteration of this iconic cautionary tole, forewarning us of the inherent hubristic tendencies championed in Western society.
