Spring Studios London Gallery Inauguration

4 Mar

Spring Studios in London is where many of the important fashion editorials are shot. With great anticipation Spring Studios has launched a gallery exhibition space, inaugurating the opening is impressive Norwegian photographer, Solve Sundsbo.

Sundsbo’s portraits are often very simple, constructing an architecture of the body.

This is a great concept for the state of contemporary photography. As fashion photographers gradually gain esteem in the acedemic threshold, launching galleries in conjunction with studios!! bravo Spring Studios!!

Tim Nobel and Sue Webster at Gagosian London

3 Mar


The Gagosian on Davies Street London, its more of a Vitrine than a gallery. The perfect location to exhibit the works of Tim Nobel and Sue Webster, famous for their trash heap sculptures which produce hyper realistic shadows on the wall. Their sculptural works are a sardonic commentary on narcissistic nature of consumer society. Sacrificial Heart, is a large rotating sculpture, it spins as the lights roll on and off. A take off on Vegas and tatoos, shot gun weddings and the dualisms of love be it fleeting or warming, pain or romance, hot and cold, fidelity and betrayal.

Damien Hirst at Gagosian New York

14 Jan

St. Paul’s, Duomo, set of 8 silk screen prints, glazed the sprinkled with diamond dust. Damien Hirst interprets famous church stain glass by kalidescopic butterfly silkscreens.

This is a refreshing change from typical Damien Hirst oeuvre. The Gagosian Madison Avenue, gives us a small Hirst show romantic illusion to relgion, beautiful works. I saw a recent exhibition at the White Cube where Hirst used the same technique with silkscreened blood cells, collaging human hair and scalpel blades upon the canvas in works titled with disease names.

JEFF KOONS at the Gagosian London

6 Dec


Jeff Koons new paintings at the Gagosian in London. Here is my brother Jeff and I doing our own little hommage to the HULK!!


Jeff Koons has a sense of humour, especially in this vibrantly colourful exhibition featuring subject matter seemingly stolen out of a toystore. We have seen inflatable balloons by Jeff Koons in sculpture, but the exhuberance of the collaging of trains, monky heads, and the Incredable Hulk playful in a poprevolution way so uniquely Koons.

JAMIE SHOVLIN at Haunch of Vension London

6 Dec

At London’s Haunch of Venison Gallery, a witty humorous exhibition by Jamie Shovlin. Using a wall sized map of the USA Shovlin runs a hilarious and insightful commentary on the Miss America Pagent and the famous question ” What would you do if you won Miss America?” Flagged by fortune cookie wisdom sized tags, tacked to the map with a single pin, it was hard to overlook the abundance of winners from California
