This week in the Arts Space SHOP has been host to Stella Man and Jay Blackwood and their show Secrets and Ciphers.
Stella’s pen and ink drawings are a series of images and
random thoughts embedded in the handmade paper. They reveal themselves
creating their own meaning. Her photographs focus in on everyday
scenes, transforming them into something else.
Jay’s work is inspired by Surrealism and Outsider Art. Using
found objects, toys, images and text his pieces are influenced by
artists as diverse as Magritte, Duchamp and Cornell. Dark humour, the
mining of repressed material, word-play, and the operations of
objective chance come together in an enchanted, humorous and sometimes
sinister world of assemblages and objects.
Here's some pics of the show:
