Disappearing Landscapes
I love paintings. Good ole fashioned oil on canvas.
The British painter, Sacha Jafri, is living proof that painting is still very much alive (along with a few others, of course) and a breath of fresh air to the unending assault of conceptual art saturating the art scene. Inspired by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Franz Kafka, Wiliam Burroughs and Salman Rushdie, Jafri’s art is energetic and dymanic. His new solo show “Disappearing Landscapes” is exhibiting at Alexia Goethe Gallery in London. In an interview with WWD (12 Jul 2007), Sacha Jafri said: “This exhibition is about how these views of London are disappearing in people's minds because they're mundane and overfamiliar," he explains. "I want to reintroduce people; get them excited about their surroundings."
Art is all about new perspectives for me, and this one definitely ticks all the right boxes.
