A group of Brisbane painters has put their artistic agility to the test in a "radical" project pushing the boundaries of creative collaboration.
Over the past three weeks, 22 artists have been given free rein over a large purpose-built room at the Museum of Brisbane.
The RMXTV project – which features in this year's Brisbane Art Design (BAD) festival – requires each participant to follow a series of 'rules' and creative prompts delivered onscreen.
BAD executive producer Daniel Templeman said the result was a chaotic, layered mural that morphed drastically with each new participant.
"In some ways it can be quite nerve-wracking to have to go and paint over someone's work, but it's also quite liberating, because they know that's going to be happening to their work the next day."
Audiences have been given a front-row seat to the creative process to watch the artwork evolve.
It is a different approach for many of the artists, who are used to working in the solitude of their studios.
The project has been a novel experience for Brisbane artist Tamika Grant-Iramu, who typically opts for intricate printmaking over large-scale painting.
"I do enjoy seeing all these different styles and techniques coming from the artists before me, and then letting that inform how I'm going to create work in the space.
"It's a unique place to do it but the fact there are no boundaries really helps you just let go."
RMXTV wraps up on Sunday.
Mr Templeman said after that, the artwork would be ripped down and destroyed.
"I think there's something liberating about that – knowing that it's not going to end up presented in a gallery, but it's more a work in progress," he said.
Grant-Iramu said she had no qualms about seeing her hard work erased.
"We're trying to look for these chaotic happy accidents," she said.
"It's the process and the experimentation that's being recorded – that's the important part."
