There was some very strong work from Digital Arts and Visual Communication at the UEL graduate exhibition. Naturally I was drawn to the photographers, viagra 40mg illustrators and print makers.
Gosia Kaczmarczyk showed Calavera Lapidarium, this a series of four cast printed photo etchings. Her exhibition played on the idea of the Mexican relationship to death in a modern society obsessed with the impermanence of beauty and youth.
Luke Gray showed two very different bodies of work. His photographs explored the reality of cross dressing in a series of evocative images featuring different male ideals.
Details from Calamity.
Bold black and white print work for his upcoming graphic novel Calamity showed the trials and tribulations of a teenage couple who have survived the apocalypse with only each other for company.
Sarah-Jane Evans is a printmaker and illustrator. Her Pretty Killers featured the deadliest of diseases under the microscope – rendered beautiful as photo etchings in ‘diamond dust’. Sarah-Jane Evans‘s beautiful Untitled series is described as ‘Gray’s Anatomy for Idiots’. Instead of being labelled with the correct medical terms intricately described body parts are layered with relevant puns and sayings. Deceptive and lovely.
