Glasshouse made from graffitied windows taken from a soon to be demolished bulding in Mexico city. Now who gets the credit, the artist José Carlos Martinat, the nameless writers, the architect of this building or the council for letting it go to rack? Or the gallerists of the show. I would say all of them, it is a beautiful installation.
Louise Bristow
“I make my paintings by creating constructed arrangements, reminiscent of stage sets, which I then paint from. This process allows me to bring together different collage elements, such as my own photographs or found images from books and magazines, as well as three-dimensional models I have made of real or imagined buildings and architectural details.
There is a narrative element to much of my work. I am inspired by everyday things that I find around me,
and how these things express bigger ideas; graffiti on a wall in a street communicates one person’s political dissent,
and the design and imagery of a tiny postage stamp can encapsulate a nation’s ruling ideology…”

What if
What if you didn’t have to climb the walls; you woudn’t have to care about security, you had abstract moving 3D objects on walls, in parks and on the streets.
