About The Artwork

About a year ago i received an email from a copy village in china with a list of different paintings they could reproduce for me from every famous artist in history. Because i use original 60's and 70's newspaper cuttings for each canvas, the newspaper will vary from this image.. Warhol had 3 pieces in the list, a Jackie, a Liz and an Electric Chair. It seemed the kind of thing that Warhol would have been fascinated by. His whole output had been distilled to three beautiful dark images. In a way the 'nightmare' series takes this a step further. I am making myself a kind of 'copy village' celebrating the dark side of celebrity worship. Each one in this set will vary , the newspapers are archived from the 607's and 70's and are different for each piece. There are 10 of these in total #6 of 10

Who is Pure Evil? To understand a bit about Pure Evil it is illuminating to know that he is a descendant of Sir Thomas More, the Lord Chancellor who wrote the controversial work Utopia and who was later beheaded by King Henry VIII. With this busy background (Sir Thomas was later canonised) it is only natural that Pure Evil should explore the darker side of the wreckage of Utopian dreams and the myth of the Apocalypse, a belief in the life-changing event that brings history with all its conflicts to an end. In 1990 PURE EVIL left the Poll Tax Riots of London behind and went to live in California where he spent 10 years ingesting weapons grade psychedelics , thinking about stuff , making electronic music and printing t-shirts . Inspired by skateboard culture and the west coast character graffiti of Twist he returned to London and picked up a spraycan and started painting weird fanged vampire bunnies everywhere. Pure Evils ancestry is alleged to include eight saints: Vladimir the Great, Saint Anna of Russia, the Holy Martyrs Boris and Gleb, Saint Stephen of Hungary, Saint Margaret of Scotland and Saint Mathilde together with Saint Thomas More, Humbert III of Savoy and several European royal families.He was also a descendant of the Old English Chieftain Ailric, Kings Thane to Edward the Confessor, who held Cawthorne and much of South Yorkshire before the Conquest.
