From: Anonymous Category: Art Date: 28 May 2009 Time: 10:08 AM Review: Pure Evil Gallery is teaming up with Gallery Nosco to present their latest exhibition in the Gallery on Leonard Street. The show is called JE T’AIME and it focuses on new works from five emerging French artists; Dran, Bom.K, Remy Uno, Jaw and Heng that will surely conjure up some excitment in the stuffy art world. Having a sneak peak at part of the exhibit already, I can tell you I am more than thoroughly impressed. I know we English have our issues with the French, but it is time to put the hundreds of years of war behind us, shake hands, and enjoy some thought provoking art. Using a mixture of sculpture, installation, painting and drawings, the artists transformed the gallery to engage with the viewer in an interactive assault on the senses. The artists flirt with political satire, they juxtapose delicately intricate yet disturbingly graphic pornography, in essence they succeed in roughly seducing the viewer with their vision of an increasing darkly humorous reality. In contrast with the typical politically based critique of contemporary arts engagement, JE T’AIME launches a sophisticated attack from a refined angle; its soft yet forceful blows resonating it’s relentless message, engaging the audience by playing with a mixture of media to create a full on sensual experience and other world. Exhibition open 5th June 2009 – 6th July 2009 OPENING NIGHT: THURSDAY 4th JUNE 2009 6-9pm
