In 2022 I did an exhibition at Floating Goose Studios in Adelaide, South Australia called “Boys Boys Boys”. This series of works were interested in the socialisation of young boys, the symbols and images of suburban living that manifest themselves in the metaphysical world of our dreaming. They were looking at how dreaming and our wakeful lived experiences are intimately linked and how they interact with one another. Men’s and the artists own daydreaming and perceptions of what is real and how that influences their negative traits such as apathy, lethargy, and entitlement is at the centre of this work. The space between where we sleep and where dreams begin. The red hot, beating, fleshy, fever dream that is existing.

Year:
Billy Oakley is a 26 year old South Australian born visual artist practicing with oil paint. Billy’s works are representational and figurative explorations of the subconscious through narrative imagery, people and place sourced from his own life. Deeply rich, bold and unnatural colour illuminate solitary figures in their own environments that blur the line between real and surreal. Focusing on people and the deep personal mental worlds they create, how they exist within those spaces and the relationship outside reality has with this space.
