London: Antony Micallef – Happy Deep Inside My Heart

September 12, 2011 butterfly

As featured on Juxtapoz

Antony Micallef returns to Lazarides Rathbone for a UK solo show entitled Happy Deep Inside My Heart.

Micallef says, “My work is like a Disney film that slowly turns into violent pornography, but you don’t really see where the change happens. It’s an ambush to the senses to capture an audience. I want to amalgamate and infuse the figures into a synthetic world. The twisted figures resembling experiments gone wrong from a science lab have somehow walked into our commercials, our glossy magazines; a cocktail of chromatic perversion. The aim is to use color as a decoy to invite the viewer in, to ambush their senses, to give that inner world a sugar-coated, cracked-sweet veneer, hiding the distortion and decay.”

Studio Visit – Lazarides Printmaking studio in Wapping

See my coverage in Juxtapoz

Overlooking the River Thames in London, Wapping offers large warehouse spaces to an ever growing artistic community, so it’s no surprise to see Lazarides Gallery relocate their Printmaking operation when they outgrew their makeshift basement studio in Soho.

The Laz printing studio produces exclusive small run editions, hand finished screenprints, HPM (hand finished multiples) and works on paper for a multitude of artists like Antony Micallef, 3D, Paul Insect, Zevs, Ron English, Conor Harrington, Mode2, Jonathan Yeo, and Boogie to name a few. Some of the prints produced here will be sent to Los Angeles for upcoming shows at Lazarides’ new venture PNB, Post No Bills.

It was exciting to see the different stages of the manual printing process, and also bumping into artist Stanley Donwood who was checking and signing his latest series of prints.
