| FROM THE SHOP PUPPET BOARD, 2009 | |
| | |
 American born Nancy Fouts has been described by Les Coleman as an 'Art Prankster' and her 2009 creation of the Puppet Board certainly demonstates her reputation. Highly evocative of the old-fashioned favourites - Punch and Judy - Fouts has created an intriguingly sinister piece from puppets originally produced for a child's entertainment. A perfect example of Fouts ability to cleverly disrupt object association and rework perceptions, row upon row of ominous yet familiar faces peer out from the canvas. The sea of facades from a bygone age playfully reach out their arms whilst towering upon one another's shoulders. From suited policemen to menacing clowns, the mass of vintage hand puppets are enough to give you nightmares…no matter what your age. [more] | |

VAL GARLAND: Giambattista Valli  Giambattista Valli, minamalistic punk is the reference, its monochromatic, punctuated with a graphic carbon or frozen white slash on the lower lashline, buffed skin, delicately placed highlighter accentuating bone structure, overall finish, taut simplicity...
