So heads up… GRAFUCK 3 comes out in December 2007. The release of this book will also coincide with a Grafuck gallery exhibit at Gallery Nucleus in Los Angeles that will feature new and original works by Alaska! Among other Grafuck contributors.

Well worth waiting for! This publication is guaranteed to build on the others in-terms of really pushing a topic (design + raw sex) that has lots of potential. And which very few artists and designers are tackling.

And that’s what writer Lee McCormick illustrates when he says “Don’t be a wanker! Embrace what it means to be a professional designer. Making the transition from design student to successful creative often involves a lot of reassessment, adaptation and resignation–just when you thought you’d cracked it and got that qualification, you realize that your actual education starts here….” How true, the real world of pain has just begun!

A great book and a great read with some really helpful points and some very smart interviews with Neville Brody, Jason Kirk, Karim Rashid, Piers Roberts and Paul Smith

The first section of the book showcases a selection of portraits in various mediums by well known artists. The second section then sees these image-makers divided into pairs and charged with the task of producing each other’s portraits.

The wide variety of artists involved spans many disciplines and includes Marion Deuchars, David Shrigley, Michael C. Place, eBoy, Rankin, Simon Henwood, Stella Vine, Ian Wright, Paul Willoughby, and filmmaker Shynola.

How did each artist respond to their subject and to their task? What does each image reveal about both the sitter and the artist responsible? Find out in Two Faced, not simply a collection but an art project that celebrates the notion of cultural exchange through the talents of some of the most in-demand artists of our time.

In the past few years, TERRY RODGERS has emerged as one of America’s most talented figurative painters.

Thanks to a brilliant technique combining effortless brushstrokes and elaborate compositions, his paintings compel the viewer to participate in a disenchanted world where beauty, sex and money do not seem to bring happiness.

The Apotheosis of Pleasure, published by TORCH Books of Amsterdam, is the first comprehensive full-color catalogue to feature the work of this artist who will surely be recognized as on of the most important painters of the early 21st century.

Published by TORCH Books, Amsterdam (early December, 2006). The renowned Dutch design studio SMEL is responsible for the art direction and design of the book as well as the limited edition boxes.

The exhibition The Apotheosis of Pleasure is scheduled from 2 December 2006 until 13 January 2007 at TORCH Gallery.

Address: Lauriergracht 94, 1016 RN Amsterdam,
