Bobby Nixon - Pork Chops

MONDAY, 25th of  Janurary, 2016
Stephen Morton looks at a new portfolio of prints by artist Bobby Nixon. Bobby Nixon's new portfolio of prints 'Pork Chops' portrays imagery of the artists ever continuing foray into the dark undercurrent of human endeavour. A journey into an abattoir of madness, peering down blackened mank alley-way's where neighbouring street lights highlight scenes of rape, murder, ritual and dismemberment into view and back again onto the streets where people gather in desperate yearning for salvation from the postulating hell hole's they inhabit 'Call 855 4 Truth', 'Call 885 4 Flith'. Nixon highlights the confused psychosis of the human condition where the plight for some kind of desperate hope is baited in vain to the drooling jowel's of prostitutes, junkys, preachers and serial killers. These five screen-printed drawings invoke thoughts of Pieter Bruegel, George Grosz and Joe Coleman among others as a continuation in the tradition of apocalyptic prophecy that ever too clearly reflects the world we live in. Life stretching out for growth only to be severed and chopped off again, choppy chop chop.
