Con molto piacere vi segnaliamo questo solo show che vede Hush come protagonista. Si tratta si una nuova personale del noto artista che si terrà alla Urban Angel Art Lounge di Londra. Oltre alle parole dello stesso Hush, vi riproponiamo la recensione con intervista del recente numero 8 di Grab Magazine.

The title of my show ‘Innocence’ comes from the deceptive expressions on the characters in my work depicted through manga/anime imagery.
The simple expressions and glazed eyes suggest purity and innocence whereas the provocative images of the female form suggest the opposite. The playful English titles of the works (eg Lotitia Lollypop) juxtapose the Japanese text ( ‘I’m hot and horny’, ‘Young girl on heat’, etc.) – the innocent images allowing us to accept their darker undertones.
The paintings also reflect street art aesthetics – with pointers to pop art, commercial printing and consumerism – through the use of screen printing.
The female nude is an ancient theme in the history of art. I have tried to give the work a contemporary edge through the use of Manga/Anime imagery as well as through tagging and graffiti.
