Displaying an Englishman's first-class wit and humour, the artist Simon Patterson has won many fans here in Japan. In 2003 he completed a large-scale painting installation 'Dazzle Ship' in the lobby of the BBC studio in White City (just outside of London). Modeled after the great European battleships of the First World War this is a display of fanaticism for cinema and the military which is based on his unique idea of 'cinema as battleship'. Patterson describes his vision thus - like the inside of a battleship films are the concentration of a vast array of human life. This 40mx15m work pays homage to the countless behind-the-scenes players of the cinema - special effects experts, stuntmen - who are similar to the camouflage on a battleship. The seven paintings that make up the current exhibition are derived from the process involved in this work.

Simon PATTERSON

Born in 1969 in Surrey, England. Graduating from Goldsmith College, he rose to prominence in the late 80s-early 90s as a central figure of the YBA (Young British Artists).

His breakthrough work 'The Big Bear', (a take on the familiar London Underground map) is, along with Damien Hirst's 'Shark in Formaldehyde', recognised as one of the representative works of 90's English Modern Art.

He has exhibited in his home country of England and around the globe - holding seven solo exhibitions in Japan since his 1992 'High Fidelity' in Nagoya. To mark U.K.-Japan 2008, his eighth solo-exhibition is being held at Radium in Tokyo's Nihonbashi Bakuro-cho (until 3 Nov).

Crossing the desert on the hair of a dog; seeking lost treasure at the bottom of the
ocean, flying across a sunset sky...Jan von Holleben’s photographs are real-world
incarnations of childhood dreams.
Since 2002, Jan has been working with children from his local neighbourhood in South West Germany to craft scenes inspired by classic novels, modern superheroes and untamed adventure.
Dream Of Flying brings together Jan’s artwork, books, and printed T-shirts for the first time in Australia.

"80 year old Martha's dream when she was younger was to open a lingerie shop" - In a small Swiss village 80 year Martha drearily lives out her remaining days without pleasure or hope after the death of her beloved husband. One inconspicuous day however, she remembers the dream of her youth - to open a lingerie shop featuring her own embroidered designs! However, their conservative village is thrown into an uproar by such scandalous behavior. Not giving in, Martha and her friends set to work on realizing their dream.

This delightful and heartwarming story spun by a group of late-blooming ladies was a number-one hit in its native Switzerland. 'Late Bloomers (Martha's Delicate Embroidery)' and graniph present a collaboration T-shirt of the film.

Illustrators come down with pens, pencils, paper and some of their favorite

Ian's charming but freakish characters are natural playmates for Bob's bug-eyed creations, inhabiting a world of feckless parents and sinister animals. As these 2D beings come to life they will be projected on to the walls of the bar for your enlightenment.
