British digital artist Magnus Gjoen has an unmistakeable style that decorates macabre subjects, previously featured here. It's jarring but also awe inspiring work that makes you look twice; images of the crucifixion, political figures, and flowery skulls that recall his hey-day at Vivienne Westwood. In recent months, Gjoen has addressed our definition of beauty using opposing symbols of war and high society.
Beau Stanton has new works he describes as "enigmatic illuminations", now on view at the Crypt of Saint John the Baptist in Bristol. Curated by Andy Phipps, the show's title "Tenebras Lux" refers to darkness and light, created by these lit panels emerging out of the crypt's dark, anicent space. The 9 stained glass panels combine elaborate oil painting with original medieval lead framework, inspired by Classical Antiquity and religious iconography that has long influenced Stanton.
