A 33-piece portraiture collection entitled Through the Stars launched at White Canvas in Newstead as a result of a collaboration between @MCRT.Studio and Empire Revival, on Thursday 26 July. The art studio has collaborated with the Brisbane Antique Centre to curate a euphoric and cosmic exhibition. Through the Stars celebrates life’s authentic relationships by visually portraying the faults in the perception of digital relationships with celebrity figures. The artworks spotlight the developments in digital, social and reality media, which have created a direct channel for users to engage with celebrity personas. The collection aims to highlight the affinity felt towards these stars as a skewed perception of relationships.
