   This piece is titled 'Stripes Of Perception At The Golden Bridge'
The art is created using spray paint & a pallet knife. Two futuristic cities sit at the edge of a great sea, joined by a lavish golden bridge. Three planets reside above, broken by stripes that shift reality from day to night. At the top some of the paint was removed, breaking away from the painting itself to the stained red veneer below.

About the Local Artist:

When I paint, I either go into it with a feeling I wish to convey/release, an idea I wish to see materialised, or simply just let something come about, like play. I know if I spent time falling into my subconscious I could give you the reason & deeper meaning for each piece I paint, but in honesty, I prefer people to come to their own occlusions with all of my artworks.

In recent years, having learnt to do space/galaxy spray painting as a kid watching artist do it along Cavill Ave at the Gold Coast, I started doing pieces on skateboards. For details, I find working with paint brushes can force me into more of a perfectionist mindset, while when I use pallet knife, I allow myself to "play" more. Holding less need for a piece to turn out exactly as it is in my head.

Creatives having pseudonyms has always interested me, & wanted to have one that created more questions then answers, thus Xus D. Demiurge came about. It creates a separation from the person & the art.

I skate a lot of my art pieces, it's how you finish a piece on a skateboard in my opinion. You take the chaos of the mind & create something somewhat rational, then imbue it with the chaos & marks skateboarding brings. Create! Skate! Destroy!
