" Clusternook is an eclectic installation by Wonderboom.Clusternook, will feature a clubhouse, objet d’art and paintings. Deriving inspiration from kitsch aesthetic,folk art
sensibilities and garage sale finds. The constructed clubhouse titled by the artists, The
Funny Company, is made from reclaimed wood, screenprinted elements and spice drops.
It negotiates a space in which fantasy, innocence and simulation blend.
Wonderboom looks for media outside the canvas, painting on found material with a unique
process of surface layering and excavation. A variety of styles are seen as each member of
the collective utilizes their own representational technique, varying from the graphic to
impasto. An underlying storybook narrative unifies the depicted subjects, inviting visual
participation. Wonderboom incorporates odd, unusual and over-loved objects into a lexi-
con of lighthearted whimsy. These artworks create a nostalgic experience, allowing us a
glimpse into a new old place, made new."
Opening April 6,2012
