We have the huge privilege of exhibiting work from an American artist, Poesia this month, alongside 9 other international artists in a show called Rudimentary Perfection. We’ve asked him, as the man who coined the name given to the movement the work is all from, on his Blog, Graffuturism to look at the work and to pick out 5 of his favourite pieces…

“Rudimentary Perfection 3” by Nawer

All of Nawer’s works were great and especially his mural installation but my favorite piece was Rudimentary Perfection 3. Nawer’s use of some very important geometric compositions mixed with very well placed linear aspects punctuated a beautiful painting. 

“Masters of Distraction” by Mr Jago

Anything Jago I’m a fan of and being able to take in one of his paintings in person was worth the trip alone. He is a true master of Colour and Paint. Jago’s work is weighted luminescence.

“Circulatory System No. 4” by Augustine Kofie

Kofie’s precision, weathered angles and sweeping, calculated curves make him a modern Master.

“Sunset” by Sheone

Fleeting movement captured in a field of yellow. Sheone is always able to capture so much with minimal movements.

“O’s Sweet Pearls” by Jaybo Monk.

Jaybo surprised me with the palette he used for this piece, a nice change of pace and with the use of black and white figures the it really worked. Jaybo’s work is pure and honest. His work is calculated only on the moment and brought forward to be destroyed.

This Sunday we are meeting at the gallery at 2pm to visit all of the mural sites around Glasgow by bike and then coming back at 4pm to watch the film created all about the project. Please join us for some or all of the activities. Read more here.
