Conor Harrington | Dead Meat | Lazarides, by Lazarides London on Feb 13, 2012 19:14:41 GMT 1, Lazarides are proud to welcome back Conor Harrington with a new exhibition entitled ‘Dead Meat’, open to the public from 2nd March to 12th April 2012.
Making a departure from the battle scenes, posturing, and overt masculinity of his previous work this new body takes a step indoors with a behind-the-scenes look at men of power within the setting of an 18th-Century feast. His interest in this period refers to an era when European power was at its peak and examines its heritage in contemporary society.
Harrington raids art history, particularly the tradition of painting, as he samples classics and reworks with free association within the context of the 21st Century.
Conor’s choice of materials – oil on canvas paired intermixed with spray paint – highlights the establishment and its downfall, a consistent theme from his previous work. The dialogue between graffiti and traditional fine art, abstraction and realism, form the backbone of his continuing output.

see also comments about blu, jaybo and neate it does happen, but unlike a few others I have what's commonly known as 'taste' ;D (which actually come to think of it is a disease round these parts!)

I'm sure being a couple influences each others work. If you look at their styles, it's Chloe IMO who has evolved her works to look more like Conors. Regardless they are both very talented; however, CH has the edge for me.

Really looking forward to seeing more of his new works.

You could be correct Coach...in any case, I really like the evolution of both of their work. Anyone have any of Conor's sketches that they want to sell?

Yes...that's what prompted my first comment. Conor is on another level for me, but I really like the way they both seem to be incorporating elements of each other's styles into their work. I'm looking forward to seeing what the other new pieces look like.
BTW...no need to apologize to me...I often need the obvious drilled into my head.

Interesting point loving the progression in their works and the influence on one another, it feels like there's a masterpiece yet to be made by conor (it maybe 20-30 years away)

Would be interested in who the other true painters are. Only because I agree with you whole heatedly. I would add Matt Small. Guy Denning. Dale Grimshaw. Who else? Out of interest?

I'll graciously bow out of this conversation. I like both of their work (especially their more recent work). If their progression is due to them being together, being happy, mourning Whitney Houston, getting an IPad 2, whatever...I like it. Sorry if I've bothered you with my comments.
