It's your last chance to have a wander around RYCA's Solo show at King Of Paint in Bristol  as it will be closing it's doors on 31st December.

LONDON: JONATHAN YEO. YOU'RE ONLY YOUNG TWICE

A few older pieces in the upstairs gallery.

Main Gallery Show
 

The Artbleat camera was lucky enough to find it's self in amongst the opening night crown at Lazarides on Thursday.

I Have uploaded more photos to the artbleat facebook page HERE
   

"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."

POW EVOL/GROUP SHOW OPENING

We managed to make it to POW for the non VIP private opening on Thursday, (after being made to queue in the rain by over zealous security guards, to get into a less than full gallery) I was more than impressed by the attention to detail that went into the Evol stencil work on cardboard, well worth a look if you can get down to east London before Christmas Eve. There are some more photos on my Facebook
