Chris (Prime Objective) Keenan has had his photo ‘Prefab Tom’ selected for an international exhibition called Portraits at the Center for Fine Art Photography in Colorado USA.

It’s not the first time Chris has shown in the USA, but what adds to this is the fact that the exhibition was juried by the respected and influential photographer Mary Ellen Mark.

Respect from the respected if you know what I mean…

Good work Chris!

A few weeks back I made a flying visit to Bristol, to go to the opening of a new group show at the newly re located Friend and Co Gallery in Bristol. It was an opportunity to catch up with my two old friends Mr Jago, and Will Barras on one night in the same place.

They joined Mudwig, Xenz and Eine in a group show at the gallery which has now moved to a good spot on Park Row in central Bristol.

Way back in the last millennium I went to art college with these guys and it’s fair to say I’ve loved their work since then. One thing that makes it easy for this to continue is the fact it’s constantly developing and growing.

Mr Jago is exploring the abstract (unlike anyone else I can think of?)…

and Will’’s gift for first of all imagining and secondly capturing scenes never seen just keeps on coming…

brilliant…

ps:

a few days later I noticed Will posted his starting point for this painting on his site – check it out – prolific is an understatement!!

I really had to add this as it pretty amazing… Will had shown me on his camera but now it’s public… complexcellent – is that a real word? it is now…
