Cyclops - Burning Candy
(with James Jessop and Sweet Toof)
May 12 - June 9, 2005
Cyclops work can be describe as creating various characters from frenzied faces that survive in sync in the chaos of a woman's hair to drone-like cyclops whose presence becomes transcendent as Renaissance-like halos hang overhead.
"I can't stand not being able to do what I want. It's juvenile, but I don't see how I can be bombarded with sick adverts channelling [sic] into my fucking third eye. Yet, it's mostly illegal for me to represent when and how I want. If the money was right, there'd be adverts on the popes fucking forehead."
Cyclops is a Bristol based artist whose tribal fury combined with photo realistic imagery creates an impressive style of his own. Cyclops first tried his hand at graffiti at thirteen while his doodling in school caused him to be suspended quite often.
