Solo exhibition by John Stezaker celebrates The Approach's 20-year working relationship with the artistLONDON.- The Approach will present Spell, a solo exhibition by John Stezaker celebrating the gallerys 20-year working relationship with the artist. The exhibition brings together two new bodies of work, the Spell and Life Room series, alongside Stezakers ongoing Mask series (1982 Present). Created during the emergence from lockdown, the Spell series is inspired by images of animal/human hybrids in Classical mythology and fairytales and their associated themes of magical enchantment and metamorphosis. By cutting silhouettes from his preferred source imagery of 1950s publicity portraits of film stars, Stezaker imposes his cutouts onto natural history illustrations. These contemporaneous illustrations of invertebrates and their aqueous underworlds are used as metaphors for the instability of human identity, through interspecies ...

Flashback On a day like today, American architect Louis Sullivan was born  September 03, 1856. September 3, 1856.- Louis Henry Sullivan (September 3, 1856 - April 14, 1924) was an American architect, and has been called the "father of skyscrapers" and "father of modernism". He is considered by many as the creator of the modern skyscraper, was an influential architect and critic of the Chicago School, was a mentor to Frank Lloyd Wright, and an inspiration to the Chicago group of architects who have come to be known as the Prairie School. Along with Henry Hobson Richardson and Frank Lloyd Wright, Sullivan is one of "the recognized trinity of American architecture". He received the AIA Gold Medal in 1944. In this image: Shoppers pass a building designed by celebrated architect Louis Sullivan, Friday, Sept. 1, 2006, in Chicago. The buiding, a National Historic Landmark, for now houses the Carson Pirie Scott department store.
