luke jinks

It was in the basement of the Here Gallery (Bristol) when my eyes were apprehended by Jinks’ bold, distinctive use of colour and immediately developed a persistent desire to see more and more and more.

Adhering to the self-initiated brief of “not using more than three colours”, his pictures depict time-periods of native iconography with a healthy does of mythological tendencies, irregardless of nationality.

What with the use of stocked body frames and a flat 2d form supplanting the 3d reality of us all, being lucky enough to wander though his life is enough of a treat for anyone..

Images above taken from the exhibition recently taken down by Here Gallery.

August 16th sees the release of Tezcatlipoca and we are honoured and lucky enough for Luke to have created such beautiful artwork for the ugly.

Poster to come dead soon…..as in NOW.
