Maurice Vellekoop’s Guided Tour To His Solo London Show!
Posted: February 26, 2015
From Vellevision to Gloria Badcock, acclaimed Toronto illustrator and comics creator is over here tonight for his first solo exhibition in London, Cockadoodle: The Erogenous Art of Maurice Vellekoop. He will be giving a guided tour of his show in conversation with me this evening, so do come and join us for the launch party from 6.30-8.30 at Space Station 65 near Oval, all are welcome.
The exhibition of his joyful erotica, and other artworks like this concept sketch for a production of Mozart’s Cosi Fan Tutti, continues until May 2nd, admission free. You can read more about Vellekoop on my site here… And as Bren O’Callaghan, Curator of the show, sums up so well:
“Vellekoop’s brush tips plant the seeds of a vibrant, luscious wonderland that recreate a pre-fall state, before the crunch of sour apple introduced the bitter taint of shame. His work is essential de-programming, like that for cult escapees, for anyone who wishes to entertain the subversive idea that fantasy and desire might actually be a joyful and life-enhancing salve, not an impulse to be starved or stifled”
