The Pope And The Dalek…

Did loads in and around town on Saturday but the one I want to share here happened while me and my other half were having pints in the Front Lounge on Parliament Street. The football was on the flatscreen (swiftly followed by Dirty Rotten Scoundrels on DVD which the couple beside us started at with a disturbing intensity; I think it stopped them from having to deal with each other) and there was an exhibition of art on the walls that was brilliant to start with and only got better as the night went on :-)

All screen prints (at least I think that’s right) in bright, vivid primary colours with beautifully surreal images (mostly in shadow.) The Pope with the bottom half of a dalek, 2 giant helicopters preparing to drop a fully completed Ikea store on a landscape, the iconic image from Vietnam of a man pointing apistol at another’s head about to shoot but the gun has been replaced by a hairdryer…

The guy who created them all is Will St Leger and it’s a safe bet that if I was a far more rich, famous radio presenter I’d have his stuff hanging in my house…
