Fifty Edition are releasing a new print by Will Barras entitled 'Goya and His Dog' on Thursday.  Further details here.

"This painting is inspired by 'The Dog' by Goya, a painting he did on the wall of his house towards the end of his life.  It's a mysterious painting. The dogs head is very small at the bottom of the composition almost completely enveloped by a large dark mass. Some people think the dog is drowning or half buried, representing mans futile struggle against forces beyond his control.  But maybe he was just asking his owner to take him out for a walk, so here is Goya taking his dog for a walk." - Will Barras



And here's the original piece by Goya:

New print coming this Thursday from Will Barras.

Will Barras is an artist, illustrator and animation director living and working in London. He grew up in Birmingham and moved to Bristol to study graphic design.

Will became one of a new crop of young artists working within Bristol's world renowned street art scene. This led to Will appearing in 'Scrawl' the book, and becoming a founding member of the Scrawl collective. 'Scrawl' originally published in 1999 was a seminal book documenting a new movement in street art, graphics and illustration. He was chosen as one of the original artists for the collective, noted for his representations of fluid movement, unique narrative driven composition and line work. This has led Will to travel extensively, Live painting and exhibiting his paintings in Asia, throughout Europe and the U.S.

Will continues to Paint and Travel, following a gruelling schedule and continually evolving his style and technique. When Will isn't travelling and painting, he continues to take on commercial art projects which interest him, and Direct animated commercials.

Mike added

"We are really excited to be working alongside one of the UK's most renowned and beloved street artists. Will is considered by his contemporary's as one of the most influential and respected artists of his generation and a pioneer of modern day street art."

The blurb:

"Available now on pre-order, the first book from British illustrator and painter Will Barras. Documenting his work to date, Yeah Man explores the inner depths of one of urban art's most imagintaive minds. Quirky noir, sultry ladies, ghostly bikers and so much more flow effortlessly from his hands.

"There is a fluidity and energy in Will's work that, although constantly changing, has always existed in a world entirely of his own making. His figures appear to be in a state of perpetual metamorphosis - caught for a brief moment between one manifestation and the next. always at the mercy of the swirling forces that surround them. From his early scanned and reworked doodles through to his recent, rich, mixed media work. Will has mastered every medium with a dynamism constant in all his work." - Felix Braun

Full colour, hard back, 200+ pages, strictly limited to 300 copies. Preorder's will be signed by the artist and include a special Will Barras collectors item.

This is a pre-order item, expected to ship in Spring 2015."

Special collectors item? Hmmm - sounds interesting!

Coach, you do love your books...

I already posted about this mate. Not that a reminder goes amiss.

Don't forget the "collectors item"! Sounds interesting.
