Michelle Aldredge once again introduces me to an artist I knew nothing about. Check out her wonderful post about the artist Slinkachu at her blog, Gwarlingo.
Like Banksy, Slinkachu is part of the London street art scene, Aldredge writes, but “is everything Banksy is not — subtle, empathic, poignant, contemplative.”
I won’t try to replicate her post but will just mention that I especially like “The House of God” and “Dreams of Packing it All In.”
The photos are copyrighted by Slinkachu. If he doesn’t consider this “fair use,” I can take them down.
Update: He is in NYC until tomorrow, Oct. 7, 2012. Read up, here.
Thank you for showing Slinkachu’s art. It’s a pleasure to discover: the thoughtful art pieces; the contrast in scale; and the creative, unusual placements give everyday objects and scenes new, unexpected and deeper meaning.
I especially love the humor.
