Murderous Art...


And lastly but not in the slightest way least I went to the see David Choe's 'Murderous Hearts' exhibition at the Lazarides gallery at 8 Greek St, Soho upon the recommendation of my Art Director.

David Choe is an American street artist who who uses various mediums, such as pencil, oils, watercolours, spray paint and even tip-ex to create his pieces. He first made a name for himself with his two award-winning graphic novels, 'Slow Jams'(1996) and 'Bruised Fruit'(2002).

With his work there are a lot of images within the image giving a chaotic feel. This adds to his work as you can see something new each time you look at it. His style is simultaneously beautiful, anarchistic, weird and brutal without taking itself too seriously. The exhibition is on until 28th March, and you can find more info about this exhibition and the artist at lazinc.com.
