Llamativo artista es
Christopher Conn Askew. Sus trabajos, más cercanos a las técnicas empleadas para la creación de carteles son una
investigación continua de nuevos medios, empleando acrílicos, acuarelas,
diversos soportes e incluso la mezcla de pigmentos con otros materiales como
cenizas o su propia sangre, como él indica en su página.
Los colores, los encuadres... todo sirve al
fin de recrear su ciudad "mental" , una cuidad extraña, donde no todo
es exactamente lo que parece:
"Though all are welcome, this is not a city
for everyone. This is a city populated by martyrs, talking animals, gods and
goddesses, soldiers, whores, saints, thieves, suicides and monks. A city full
of stairs that lead nowhere, of windows that look out onto starry blackness, or
onto the gentle misty blues of a slowly falling evening. A city of endless open
doors and smoky hallways, forgotten rooms and locked cellars, of hidden gardens
and empty fountains. A city of glowing urban lights and quiet suburban shadows,
of tender silences, and of the clang and
boom of swords and drums. A city where the ghosts of the past link arms with
those of the future and dance, drunkenly, under paper lanterns by the river's
edge. A city surrounded by dark, deep forests whose lush foliage hides and
nurtures dark figures, strange creatures, and night blooming flowers to be used
in the secret rituals of feral children. Above all, a city of Secrets."
Christopher Conn Askew
