   Smooth synthesis of style; The images are very seductive, I adore the formal qualities of the artist’s visual language. But graffiti is not inherently oppositional to the status quo, as it may once have been seen, and in the context of a meticulously artificial concept of beauty (geisha) it teeters on the edge of becoming merely the decorative ambiance of the street, like another layer of makeup scrawled across this particular image of femininity. This isn’t necessarily a feminist critique, rather a desire for more emotional depth, more thought-provoking substance. Perhaps the artist also senses emptiness, of which this is an expression? His most recent show is titled ‘Sirens’. ~JWE
