Chris Bracey @ Scream

Chris Bracey's first ever solo exhibition of his incredibly fun art work. The pieces verge on the edge of. Being ready mates as Bracey uses neon letters and battered shop signs from reclamation yards. But he does something special to them, forcing them to be viewed as extraordinary kitch pieces. Some look like 1970s tattoos, some recall the Sex Pistols' iconic God Save the Queen single cover with the iconography of the deeply religiously symbolic teamed with Soho chic. As the pieces faintly hum with electric charge, you can't help but feeling similarly charged up in their presence. Professor Green certainly agreed, purchasing a piece for himself at the opening.
