Defiance Gallery - Julien Playoust

So quiet around Mary Street you cd practically hear a leaf hit the pavement. Crash. Playoust has a nice line and great colour sense. It was sort of Rees meets Whiteley, but also Claes Oldenberg as a detour. Playoust added de Stael for good measure. 

Playoust is very precise, but of course he's an artist. I told him about a street where we lived growing up. We would skateboard diagonally back and forward  across the descending face of th street then shoot across the busy road at the bottom, zip, heading down another street that then went and angled to the left. So sure he said but my scenes are in the countryside.

Just look at the colours! A few people came into the gallery while I was there. I picked up my umbrella and left. The car parked on Oxford Street.
