Pure evil

Exhibition of amazing work by artist ROA at Pure Evil Gallery in London.

"ROA started painting abandoned buildings and warehouses in the isolated industrial outskirts of his hometown – Ghent, Belgium. Fixating on the animals he found there; the wildlife became the central subject matter of his work, inspired by their clever ability to adapt into scavengers in order to survive. He used the dilapidated, coarse interiors and exteriors of the unyielding landscape as a canvas to portray his large-scale creatures.
Roa filled a vast abandoned warehouse complex of different chambers and exteriors with a menagerie of large-scale animals, creating an impressive spray painted zoo of city scavengers.
His obsession went global when he took to the streets of New York, London, Berlin, Warsaw and Paris, prolifically painting his trademark cross sectioned animals wherever he went, locating them where they naturally invade the main city streets with their quiet yet powerful presence.

Pure Evil Gallery is proud and extremely excited to present a new body of original artwork by ROA this spring, complete with street works in the local area. Look out for a new ROA city fox appearing on a street near you."

Fred Einaudi, el lado oscuro

Fred Einaudi ha creado todas estas maravillosas pinturas, todas de óleo sobre lieno, en las que te sientes obligado a detenerte y mirarlas de nuevo; son una puerta al lado oscuro del mundo, al lado oscuro del ser humano. Realistas, impactantes y muy, muy duras.

Con plastilina! Irma Gruenholz

Una de las cosas que más me fascina de la ilustración es el color, herederos, en ocasiones más que los pintores que han ido evolucionando por otro lado, del peso y la fuerza del color con el que recreaban el mundo, los mundos, los miniaturistas: rojos imposibles, azules abismales... rojo de alumbre y azul de lapislázuli traído de más allá del mar. (Miniar significa, literalmente, colorear en rojo. Viene de la palabra minium, así se llamaba en la Edad Media al cinabrio, al sulfuro de mercurio de color rojo vivo. ¿No se echa de menos a veces la espléndida profundidad de aquellos colores preñados de luz?)
Irma Gruenholz sabe usar el color, es profundo, y puro, y distinto, e ilustra con plastilina. Es tan buena que, más que palabras mías, os dejo su página y su blog, para que lo disfrutéis vosotros mismos:
