The room is essentially quite drab - one has to make the most of any colour splashes found lying around...
Ahhh the 70's, when they weren't consuming dubious chemicals and wearing flared pants, they were wearing 'stylish' glasses and eating french fries... Although i'm too young to remember it *cough*.
4me4you visits West Contemporary Editions, which featured the artist Fin DAC - “Urban Aesthetics”.
Fin DAC, born Finbarr Notte and also referred to as Finbarr DAC is a self-taught, non-conformist urban artist who has defined and perfected an atypical spray paint style he has dubbed ‘Urban Aesthetics’.
Fascinated by Asian beauty, Notte’s work has no political message and only focuses on beauty and aesthetics. His depictions are women in ethnic clothes are mainly stencil-based, with a predominence of black and white and they all wear a mysterious mask painted with bright colour splashes. All of them are heavily influenced by Asian art, with inspiration in traditional and ceremonial dressing, and most of them are based on women the artist has met. As a self-taught and non-conformist artist, his influences range from dark graphic novels through to the works of Francis Bacon and Aubrey Beardsley.
Fin DAC explores themes related to female emancipation and empowerment, while revealing their sensuality and sensitivity at the same time.

I still like this one. This was my first attempt at colour splash, but wasn't edited on photoshop, just plain old Picasa. I just like the contrast of the bold colours on the black and white.
