Thanks to all that came, Tiger for the beer and Oval for the Vodka and Mr jazz dance ... if there's a better reason for staying fully clothed in an art gallery I haven't seen one.
Biography
Todd ‘Reas’ James is one of graffiti art’s venerable statesmen. He was part of the seminal Street market exhibition by Deitch Projects gallery New York that travelled to the Venice Biennale. He has overseen various hit satirical animations including Rap Toons and the high-profile Jack Kirby-influenced Minoriteam which included, amongst others, an afro-haired planet-eating supervillain named Balactus. His latest TV venture is the Henson-esque puppet show Crank Yankers.
Reas’ work effortlessly surfs the everyday and the offensive, and not always together. Personal and socio-political sacred cows are usually the target: Alive with Pleasure, for example, features two chubby hipsters merrily smoking away. But Reas’ portraits of city lifestyles, their hypocrisy and hubris, are not without their charm, as you can see from the likes of Yoga and Yoghurt.
