Twin Speak:

A step into Cryptophasia. 

A joint exhibition by Benjamin and Erica Gully. 

This groundbreaking show has been years in the making and something the twins have dreamed of bringing into fruition for the greater part of the last two decades. An impromptu opportunity presented itself enabling these twin artists to take a step into realising their dream, a step into Cryptophasia (aka Twin Speak).

Twin Speak not only showcases the siblings unique and individual art practices but also features the first of many collaborations that highlights their more shared & common interests and loves within the field of visual arts and broader popular culture.

Drawing upon such instances as their favourite bands in high school, or referencing television shows they watched growing up - Erica and Ben utilise their art practices to provide us with a series of clues (some involving actual idiosyncratic language they developed when they were young and still use today) that gives the audience insights into their world of Twin Speak. 

Erica is an artist who utilises process that encompass Illustration, print making, graphic design, and street art. She has recently shifted her practice from educator and facilitator and is reconnecting with her own art making.

Benjamin is a multidisciplinary artist obsessed with abstract landscape painting, sculptural ceramics and music production. Lately his practice has seen a return to digital art, printmaking, studio drawing and more portraiture/figurative based work. 

This Exhibition was shown from June 21st till the 29th of June 2024.
