Cut To The Chase






















I love artist Greg Lamarche's beautiful, colorful, animated collages of geometric shapes and letterforms. Given his background as a graffiti writer, it makes sense his work is so graphic and bold. He shows a strong appreciation and playful wit towards typography and uses handcut letters from found objects for his collages. All images from Show & Tell Gallery in Toronto where he currently has an exhibition.

Exit Through the Gift Shop

Update: Went and saw this tonite. It is terrifically funny and so entertaining. It originally started as a documentary about street artists but the filmer is more obsessive/compulsive than artistic which resulted in, well, Banksy took over to produce what you see today. There is a climax in the middle of the movie where tears were streaming down my face from laughter. Banksy has such a wonderful, witty sense of humor. Its in his art and delightfully comes through in film too. Although, at the end he claims this is the first and last for him. I kinda hope not!

The trailer is out for famous street artist, Banksy's, new film. I'm not sure if this is his film or a film about him? It was supposed to be about him but now its turned into a film about the photographer, Terry Guetta. Either way I think it looks interesting.
