Chrsitopher Orr is along with Michael Borremans one of the most intriguing painters in the contemporary art world. His very small canvases feature a strange world which lead us to think about surrealism, Neo Rauch, Weird science, Cinema, Romanticism....and other worlds. And what it is really striking is....that when looking at his paintings you´re able to enter his world...falling under his spell....

He is represented by:

http://www.ibidprojects.com/ , London.

Statuephilia. The British Museum

Tim Noble and Sue Webster. "Dark Stuff", 2008.

Marc Quinn. "Siren", 2008.

Antony Gormley. "Case for an Angel I", 1989.

Ron Mueck. "Mask II", 2001/2002.

If you are in London you still have a few days to visit this exhibition at the British Museum. Although i´m not a great admirer of the work by Antony Gormley and Marc Quinn, i have to say, to be honest, that the works they featured here are both quite impressive, specially the sculpture by GORMLEY, you´ll find it just when entering the museum and it´s quite magical,....despite the crowd....

There are also sculptures by Tim Noble & Sue Webster, a really interesting piece which toys with shadows ( in fact they have been making this kind of pieces for quite a while...) , and a work by the ubiquitous (and boring......) Damien Hirst....
