Some like, some not-see. 

Some see 11, and some not.

Number 9, number 9 (number 9)

NEIN

Update: Dear Mr Williams, we thank you for your service and opening up our eye to so much more than we ever expected. I will try to replicate my deleted post from your amazing research group.


All three are occultists.

Not all of them saw the load area of Jimmy Savile's van and name it as their top ten experience. Back in the day.





Braggadocio?

Or is Freud in on it?

Dicky The Dealer


That little sucka in the middle is for sale to go towards Burma but I think I'm going to take it to LA and meet some rich white folk and ask them to sell it. I'm sure it would go for a lot more of a modest price than here (the flash has bleached the orange a little in the middle but it is oil on canvas). 



The Chinese girl is mine. Any comments for Dicky The Dealer? (Note the red thread running through the family in the top painting).

798


I paid a visit to the 798 'Art District' of Beijing on Friday for the 'Affordable Art Beijing' exhibition run by Tamsin Roberts of Red T Art.


The last time I was last in the area, it was for the Yen Countdown on New Years Eve. This time had a chance to walk about in the daylight and get a feel for the Bauhaus architecture and general post war 50's East German industrial influence.


Its pretty neat, in that way that only proper industry can do and the industrial estates of Basingstoke fail at miserably don't you think? Anyway here's some art.


I just liked the comical feel to these. We've been having a discussion on Facebook about art which could go on forever but I think good art should just send people up a bit as much as possible.


This one though in the green was just the right amount of sinister and beauty I like. I was really disappointed not to bag, it as it had been bought by the time I arrived, although I may be able to see the artist at his studio at some point.


I really loved this fading and aging Commie girl complete with pigtails from whatever revolution was being espoused at the time. She's just the wrong side of 50 and a little too old to be putting it about. Its the breasts and neckline that give it away. Brilliant.


Like most of the paintings this was part of a set and the eyes were amazing. Magnetic, hypnotic a little bit attractive, a little bit scary and very sexual.

Yen Countdown





The PRC, being run in a top down sort of affair has allocated a district in Beijing solely for the artist community. It's called 798. I don't normally approve of art-under-duress but on New Years Eve I made an exception.
