Beards, Paints and Geometry a good mix do make

Morning everyone, amongst all the rubbish rainy weather this week one ray of sunshine has managed to fight through. His name is Barry McGee and he's currently got an exhibition on at the Stuart Shave Modern Art Gallery on Eastcastle St (nearest tube Oxford Circus).

Full of hand painted bearded characters amongst geometric patterns it's quite a surreal and trippy experience. Get right up close to the pics and your mind starts to warp... in a good way of course.

Obviously not one to be confined to canvas, Mr McGhee has applied himself to all kinds... wood, glass, bodyboards (!) you name it.

Entry is free and it's well worth a visit. More info here... http://www.modernart.net/exhibitions

Max Power(s)

I've just had the pleasure of discovering the work of Richard Powers, a surrealist artist and illustrator of hundreds of book covers. His sci-fi work is particularly amazing and there's a brilliant archive of it all over here. I fully expect it to blow your mind.

Nowhere Near Here

Really nice stop motion animation using light, stencils and long exposures. Great idea, nicely executed and you can buy some prints from the artists online shop here... http://www.pahnl.co.uk/store.php
