A hauntingly gorgeous black and white portrait series created by artist Constantinos Chaidalis using the portraits of children and manipulating them into surreal and symbolic pieces. “Sinister” deals with personal memory and loss. It is a series of cryptic illustrations, deconstruction of the childhood faith in safety and nurturing. The children in each image represent how one reverts to a childhood stance when it comes to death, and the reality of loss. When we face our fears and anxiety, we seldom face those fears as an adult, but more usually as a child, we revert to the lost and bewildered aspect of childhood. – Constantinos Chaidalis See more of Constantinos Chaidalis’s work here See the…

Permanent Banksy Exhibition is Now Open
Basically all art by Banksy is known to have a short life span due to it’s highly publicized and unapproved street art locations. But now his work has found some stable permanince in East Londons Hang-Up Gallery. “There’s currently nowhere in the capital to view a permanent Banksy collection,” stated the gallery’s director Ben Cotton in Time Out. “So we thought we’d change that. It’s an intimate space packed full of a broad cross-section of his work from the start of his career to the present day – so whether you’re a Bansky aficionado or a seasoned collector it’s certainly worth a look.”

Delicate Dependencies by Crystal Morey
“Humankind has become the driving influence and force behind natural evolution, with the ability to alter life from a single cell all the way up to entire ecosystems. Through these actions we are leaving vulnerable species and habitats frantic, facing disruptions and uncertain outcomes. In my work I explore these actions while also creating an evocative and mysterious narrative that shows our interdependence with the land and animals around us. Delicate Dependencies is an exploration of these ideas shown through plants and animals native to the western United States. These creatures exist in habitats stressed or impacted by human activity, leading them to an unclear future. They inhabit a space…
