Jonathan Darby is different. His art explores the vulnerability of youth in our materially driven society, but not in a way that is obscure. His work is "accesible." I find some of these a little disturbing. Its the kid's faces mixed with corporate logos, for some reason it gets to me!
His work ‘The Prisoners’ based on the Katte Kollwitz piece of the same name, was selected as one of the top 5 in the curator choice category in the Noise Festival 2008 (its just below). This is His first solo show, at Signal Gallery. If you are in London in between thge 18th September and 10th October 2009. Drop down to the Signal Gallery for a look. It's sure to get you thinking.
