Jody solo show on until 15th May at Paintworks, Bristol. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

Sorry but I don't seem able to post pictures to the forum any longer.

I went to check out the exhibition earlier today and, like you say Hunter, it really is worth checking out.

I'm afraid my iPhone photography really doesn't do the work justice but it feels so effortless and elegant in person that you really should go and check it out.  The photos don't pick up any of the subtleties unfortunately; but I was very sorely tempted by the dipped hand piece.







I have more photos of the show if anyone wants to see them, but I wasn't sure what the etiquette was about uploading photos, given that hopefully other forum members will go and see it in person and I wouldn't want to spoil the experience them by seeing everything online beforehand.

For those that don't know Jody's work, he was part of the golden age at the Barton Hill Dugout back in the late '80s and early '90s.  I was lucky enough to get to see him paint the ballcourt at the Dugout again a few years back:


And here's another piece from a few years back painted at St George's Skatepark:

Stunning.

Thank you feralthings for posting those photos. I don't see any problems with posting more pictures. As you say the show should really be seen in the flesh to fully appreciate it.

My favourites were Sasha, Rise up and Palomino. Would love to see further photos of the first 2.

There are prints of each canvas as well - edition of 10

Sorry, I didn't get a photos of the Sasha piece and the Rise Up piece is pretty small on the bottom picture but the show was so good I'll be going back for a second look so I'll take some more photos.  The Palomino piece was unsurprisingly already sold.

I'm heading over to Bristol on the 25th so will miss it, but if anyone has any suggestions or recommendations for things to do over that weekend, hit me up!

Dude, not sure if that was a joke asking what to do that weekend? But in case it wasn't the 25/26th is possibly Europe's biggest annual urban art festival-Upfest.

[closeencounters]

Haha, indeed it is! There'll be plenty to see and do then... ;D

Apart from Upfest, there are a few other things I'd recommend. Eko has a show at the Art-El gallery and if you've got time I'd check out the Ai Weiwei and Zwelethu Mthethwa pieces in the No Borders exhibition (I wasn't particularly fussed for the other pieces but that's probably just personal taste).

The Happy Mondays are also playing Vegfest that weekend.

Would give my right arm for that shark. Stunning. Thanks for pic. And can't wait to see Faith47 at upfest, just received piece from her last Jo'burg show - lovely ink piece.
