Polly Morgan is reinventing taxidermy to STUNNING effect, e.g.:

Dead Ringer

And:

Robin Dead Breast

And:

Excuse me, I think these are dead

Check out more of her work here: http://bit.ly/sN6SL.

You can still buy her work, relatively reasonably, but with the likes of Kate Moss snapping it up (http://bit.ly/91WP8A), I suspect it won’t be long before Polly’s work is out of reach for mere mortals like us.

Food for thought…

Until next time.

ID-IOM New Stencil Video from Show at Metro, Clapham (London)

The ID-IOM lads have put together this video of them doing their latest stencil art at Metro, in Clapham (London). It’s a Manx cat in a tank! No Tail No Fail.

Looks great, they have a pretty unique style I reckon. Check out this previous interview World Graffiti did with them, and this other large London stencil piece from the Isle of Man artists.

‘TRIPOD’ BY ECO – £25.00

Posted: January 31st, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Graf | No Comments »
Limited edition ‘Tripod’ print by Eco.

1 colour hand pulled screen print on 320gsm Malago Arbororeta recycled sustainable acid free archive paper.

Embossed and numbered edition of 30, signed by the artist.

Size : A2

BIOG:

Eco spent his formative years painting in the late 80′s Graffiti scene; learnt his craft in the now infamous Hull warehouses era, relocating to Bristol in the 90′s and leaving his inimitable mark upon the city.

As his focus broadened to encompass commissions from the worlds of fashion and music, Eco has worked continuously and notably with EH? and Lex Records, for artists such as Dangermouse and MF DOOM.

Alongside commercial success Eco maintains his long-established relationship with walls and, most recently with his cohorts of WSSK, continuing the grand tradition of urban, exhibition and installational art. Their work has been published in frequent volumes for Thames & Hudson and Die Gestalten Verlag, injecting no small amount of irony and a little self-deprecation into the confines of traditional street art.


‘GHOST OF LAYSAN RAIL’ BY RUSSELL MAURICE – £25.00

Limited edition ‘Ghost Of Laysan Rail’ print by Russell Maurice

2 colour hand pulled screen print on 320gsm Malago Arbororeta recycled sustainable acid free archive paper.

Embossed and numbered edition of 30, signed by the artist.

Size: A2

BIOG:

Stylistically influenced by his involvement from an early age with Graffiti culture, his works reflect the spontaneity and immediacy of this practice, embracing informal forms of expressivity and appropriating its language of activism. Earlier works addressed the competing forces of nature versus technology, taking the form of hand painted large scale stickers, posters and paintings of natural life forms which sometimes appeared on the streets of London; these works were a way of nature usurping and reclaiming these city scapes, which were once its home. Maurice’s latest works continue his investigation of these ideas and have included large format prints comprising of Maurice’s photography with drawing and digital additions, wall and canvas paintings, collage, and large scale fabric and cardboard sculptures. Recent solo exhibitions have explored the conflicting notions of darkness and light, scientific progress and nonsensical consumerism and the beginnings and ends of life. Reminders of our current state of detachment from Mother Nature, Maurice’s work ultimately reflects upon the interconnectedness of ecological, cosmic and spiritual systems.
