THE WEEKEND EXPERIENCE - ART+CULTURE: Hush in London

If you're lucky enough to find yourself in London this weekend, I would definitely recommend checking out “Innocence,” a solo show by one of our favorite artists, Hush. His work will be on display at Urban Angel Art Lounge from Thursday, November 12th through December 12th, 2009.

“I believe progress is important and always push myself to move forward," says Hush. "The pieces for ‘Innocence’ are a comment on the hentai/manga/pornography scene and how it’s sold as cute but has darker undertones. The titles of the work in English lead the viewer to believe the message in the image but the Japanese typography within the works tell a completely different story to the viewer once translated. I like the juxtaposition of this and the idea of the works and message being ‘lost in translation’ to the non Japanese-speaking audience.”
