Motorboy has slowly and surely developed an individual style within an arena that has become crowded by copyists. He's done his time pasting up the streets, he's been the DJ, re-mixer and exhibition organiser that has always challenged the orthodoxy, he's worked with video and sound but throughout this search for a medium he has always been searching for an individual aesthetic. Never following the fashionable crowd for a first impression (the first time I met him, in a Bristol nightclub, he gave me a carefully handwritten A4 sheet of Milton's Paradise Lost) he has always challenged the supposed 'grittiness' of what is meant to constitute 'urban' art. His work is a visual kick up the backside of twenty-first century consumer culture. Bright colours, appropriated and mutated corporate logos, favourite kiddy cartoon characters and little, indirect, accusatory messages jumble around each other and stick not only a pin in the eye of our buy, buy, buy society but also in the sometimes tired world of 'graffiti art'. His work has irony without pretentiousness, fun without frivolity and a message without melodrama. Guy Denning (April 2008) ‘You Might Stop The Party But You Can't Stop The Future’ is the latest series of ongoing work, each silkscreen print is unique and sold framed. www.motorboy.info http://www.motorboy.infoshapeimage_3_link_0
