Gregory Jacobsen

Gregory Jacobsen’s grotesque paintings are disturbed reinterpretations of classical themes and compositions, the product of a tortured imagination that smears the distinctions between the sexual and the scatological, the beautiful and the perverse. Smothered in fleshy and fetid pinks and browns, Jacobsen creates a world that his band, Lovely Little Girls, might inhabit, where still-lifes and tableau’s of the past have sprouted mold and maggots.

Robert Montgomery is a London-based artist, or maybe a poet, who hijacks billboards, empty ad spaces on the streets and backlit metro lights with his words of wisdoms. Instead of illustrations, he uses typography to get his message across, which is pretty cool because people actually would stop and read. Read more
