, much smaller than the one at South London Gallery in 2001 which I was so glad that a friend invited me along, as I didn't know her work before. Since then she's one of my favourite artists. The black and white blown-up 50s images, red and white slogans that often shout irony in your face are not only good to look at but almost soothing in a sad but true way.It's good to be reminded how one can play with the contrast of font sizes to shout or whisper, while the consistency of using Futura Bold Italic in most of her works has become her trademark. Remember the window displays at Selfridges years ago? I only knew today that was actually her work and not some advertising agency using her style!
What's better than combining two artists you like in different areas? Perfect indeed. (image extract from 'Thinking of You')
Thrown in some more irony and typography. Top two: I Walked With A Zombie by Chic Pix, bottom: Woman's World by Graham Rawle.
