Cameron Howard ‘Video Game Worlds’ Exhibition Opening
23 February, 2024 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm

Exhibition runs: 23 February – 12 March 2024
Opening Event: Friday 23 February 2024, 5.30pm – 7.30pm
‘Video Game Worlds’ is a series of representational paintings that appropriate the visual aspects of game-play from role-playing video games (RPG).
Through recreating the game-play, the paintings exaggerate and emphasize the visual aesthetic and qualities inherent to video games. The project focuses on the interaction between character, setting and the role of the player as a character. The camera’s point-of-view plays into the perception of the setting, altering our framing of the image and any possible meanings.
This project relocates the concepts of the sublime in our natural world to the digital landscape of video games.
