Invisible Cities
Stephen Nova, works on paper
The delicate and detailed paintings and drawings in Stephen Nova's exhibition Invisible Cities, are built up of many layers, like cities themselves, ‘cranes pulling up other cranes, scaffoldings that embrace other scaffoldings, beams that prop up other beams’, only then to be scraped back, erased and destroyed.

The artworks in this exhibition speak of place and memory and combine various elements of Melbourne, the artist’s current hometown , and his former home in Fremantle.
‘Invisible Cities’ is an amalgam of many elements, memories, signs, language, fears and desires, all floating somewhere in space and time, dream and reality. What is to be and what is yet to come. Assuming forms to only then disappear.
