JR 28millimetres Women


My new favourite photographer, JR does things different and on a HUGE scale. This show centred around his travels and ability to embed himself in to communities very differnt from his native french soil. Whether it be rural Africa of the favelas of Rio, JR extracts the most human, most true images of life there. Truly Jaw dropping, im glad Steve Lazarides took him in to his stable of Outsiders, his platform since has expanded from huge pastings on the side of the Tate Modern to panorics wrapping around central New Yorks streets.

Paul Insect - Posion

Paul Insect is a bit of a mystery to me, impossible to put in a pigeon hole, his art outshines many artists who focus on one genre, his stencil work is up there with the best, his fine art prints cover all ends of the spectrum from the most brutally simple of images to some of the most intricate detail I have seen. On top of that he crafts skulls, tables, bullion, you name it to get his ideas across. Cant help but respect not only his body of work, but alsohis unique "anything goes" style and sense of humour.
