LONDON: OTTO SCHADE AT BEN OAKLEY GALLERY

Ben Oakley Gallery brings stencil artist Otto Schade to South London this month with a show titled Urban Schade. The show opens on Friday 20th January and runs until Sunday 5th February.

 Along with a totally new body of work there will be a couple of Limited Prints, you will need to get down to Greenwich if you want one of these as they are available only to visitors to the gallery.   

Press Release:
In January 2012, Otto Schade brings his extraordinary artwork to the Ben Oakley Gallery in Greenwich. He will be exhibiting original unseen artwork and ltd edition prints for a 2 week period from 21st January – 4th February. Originally from Concepcion in Northern Chile, Schade now lives in London. Schade uses his ribbons to compose beautifully intricate images, often referencing popular culture. However, he also creates more thought-provoking works, that resonate with deep and symbolic meaning. Schade has forged a reputation as one of London’s foremost street artists, with his instantly recognisable ribbon motif adorning many walls throughout London and beyond gaining admiration and respect from Private collectors and Artists alike.

20012 AT 1XRUN

Well there you go, what could be better for a New Years Day post. 1XRun will be dropping this time limited print on January 2nd.
2012 by Matt W. Moore is a 19"X25" Six colour screen print, described by the artist as in the style of Vectorfunk. This beautiful slab of eye straining colour reminds me of one of those doodles you do when sitting bored at the back of class, however according to Matt Moore "this style is inspired by abstract geometry, optical illusions, and freeform composition"

LONDON: JONATHAN YEO. YOU'RE ONLY YOUNG TWICE

"Making a departure from his internationally renowned collages, Yeo's latest body of work explores the rapidly expanding phenomenon of cosmetic surgery.  Following 18 months of field studies to observe the work of leading cosmetic surgeon, the artist has produced a collection of work that uncovers the processes and results of pre- and post-operative procedures on women. Opting for emphasis on the physicality of such transformations over the social controversy of these procedures, Yeo's gentle, painterly depictions question  the lengths we will go to in the pursuit of perfection."
