The Lazardies gallery in Greek Street is opening a new exhibition of work by Todd ‘Reas’ James called Blood & Treasure. The exhibition features a series of over 20 new paintings by the man behind Reas International, plus a never before seen animated video.
Protest images marked out in cartoon outrage, filled with recycled advertising cast-offs and corrupted child scrawls, these large-scale works of gouache and graphite smash the distance between death and jokes and between the viewer and what he or she probably goes around trying not to know about the present state of things.
Well worth checking the exhibition out, which will run from 29th August until the 26th September at the Greek St gallery ( Lazarides Gallery | 8 Greek Street | Soho | London | W1D 4DG | tel: + 44 20 3214 0055 ).
