The head artist and founder of the REAS International, Todd James, has a history of creating comic-like statements of his surroundings. When you find out that he began making art as a kid on the streets of NYC, painting simple shapes and characters, it all begins to make sense. His style has evolved into a sort of Bevis and Butthead dream sequence of a political cartoon. Bombs, blood, boobs and creatures fill his illustrations to make jokes about war, death and modern life. It would be ridiculous artwork if the satire wasn’t so evident. The new exhibition titled Blood & Treasure will be in London’s Lazarides Gallery in Soho starting on Friday and running through the September 26. The exhibition features 20 new paintings and one brand new animation.
