Kember - New Work, by kember on Jan 5, 2017 14:04:11 GMT 1, Hi Folks,

I've been busy trying to stick to my New Year's resolutions and release a few prints this year. I spent most of my Christmas break working in my sketchbook and hacking together ideas using Pixelmator on my phone whilst sat in the living room watching Christmas TV.

I'm a huge fan of the more clever/subversive aspects of Banksy's work and it's a big influence on my latest ideas. Some social commentary stands the test of time, and with last year being the way it was, I've tried to pluck out some things that I had a strong opinion on or directly affected me, not just from last year, but generally.

'English Rose'



I saw a lot of 'Brexit' inspired art at the time of the referendum, some better than others, one news clip they played again and again (at least in the bubble of the left I live in) was interviews with misinformed Leave voters saying it was all about immigration, keeping 'muslims' out and other broad statements. The Tudor rose is our national flower, but the only thing we seem to welcome immigrants or refugees with is often a ticket home, despite the terrifying journey they've likely had.

Print details & new pieces to follow next week.
