Fairy Tales
Once upon a time…..
Drawing back the rich red crimson Stage curtains adorned with tatty gold tassels of discovery, we step into this artist’s gallery is his vibrant interpretation of fairy tales rich in golds, flaming reds and deep blues and blacks of sourcery, pure musical theatre.
Poetic and sensational
​
He distorts historically revered works of art and then sooths us with calm serene landscapes.
Having ripped to shreds the childbirth experience, it makes us recoil in horror wonder and then imagine.
You thought it was just a phase, a little bit of theatre, a little stage down a dark alley in Soho, a slip of the senses and morels along the adolescent road of discovery, something to expand the mind and warp the senses, just enjoy, just love, just laugh, just feel lust and fall in love.
Throughout history in art , music and literature, in plain sight, in the background, in the underground, in the foreground… its always been there but you have never see it… well not like this!

How often had we blamed Walt Disney for dipping our toes into the unknown.. if only we had known that there is no such thing as a fairy tale handsome prince.
There are just the deadly sins in this world
Lust, jealously, envy, gluttony and avarice…
Fairy tales are warning to the young, who absolutely ignore them, and so they should…

Maleficent is a long winding affair, with no handsome prince or beautiful young princess, maybe its kicking back at Disney or maybe it’s showing the reality of life? The artist , pushes and pulls against realty and constraint and boundaries, so we are still left questioning.
It does make one thing clear, the Maleficent is sexy, dangerous and enticing regardless of gender

Alas poor Alice, the table is buckling under the food and drinks, the charming, amazing, wonderful and wretched friends circle her like vultures around a antelope who thinks its all a terribly funny game, but where is she, who are these strange creatures at her tea party?
