This is all over the blogs since this morning (I'm sure) and I hate posting press releases that have clearly been blank emailed to about a million people but how could I not be interested for the work of JOSH KEYES.
“My work often contains a hybridization of concepts and imagery that express global concerns about ecological, political, and militarism issues. I try to create work that fuses my personal mythology and imagery with these concerns. The result is a continuous and evolving pattern of fragmented imagery that slowly unfolds and folds like a patchwork quilt. The work functions for me as a record of both my personal history and interpretation of events in the world.” – by Oakland-based artist JOSH KEYES.

MARC NAGTZAAM from Antwerp draws words in pencil. In the first instance they are a collection of symbols, which as they are being drawn form a powerful graphic image. Not all his drawings contain words, some are filled entirely with an abstract and strict patterns. The drawings are actually very traditional, both in terms of technique and material, as in drawing itself.
Curious what people will think about it!
