The works of John Isaacs may make you vomit a little
<< Back
Mixed Media Madman Jun 22, 2009 at 09:11
There's nothing subtle about the artworks of John Isaacs. While some artists would like to make pretty pictures and beautify the world with their expression, John's work comments critically on how screwed up the world has become and demands attention. Every piece is a morally critical statement on the way we choose to live our lives as a species in this modern world. His hideously confronting executions can't help but make you think and riddle you with guilt on what we have become... It's like being bludgeoned about the head with our fast food guzzling, consumer driven, resource eating, air polluting, Prozac popping ways. Yep.

Not married to one medium in particular, John Isaacs will use anything at his disposal to convey his message and does so with technical precision. Check some examples from vist vast catalogue of work to the right of this post and for more examples visit John Isaacs @ aeroplastics.

There's nothing like a collection of nasty turds and obesity related scabs to snap you out of Monday-itis.

This is something from imagination land, directly following the Kiddy fiddler and the vomit sky.
