The Outsider
Lazarides Gallery, London
The Outsiders are a band of cult artists who've been working outside the established world creating a scene of their own. Lazarides Gallery has a genuine desire to be as inclusive and unconstrained by the art world as possible. On show works by Antony Micallef, Faile, Stanley Donwood, Ian Francis, Paul Insect, Conor Harrington, Invader, Miranda Donovan and Mark Jenkins.
Lazarides Gallery is expanding. On 16 May Laz Inc will officially open a new
space with a group show of work from all of its artists at 125 Charing Cross
Road that will become a permanent space with a rolling show of Lazarides
artists’ work.
Lazarides gallery is the primary source of work for artists such as Antony
Micallef, Faile, Stanley Donwood, Ian Francis, Paul Insect, Conor Harrington,
Invader, Miranda Donovan and Mark Jenkins. Lazarides’ artists’ works defy
simple categories like 'graffiti', 'graphics' or 'pop art' – best described instead
as ‘cult art’. With the Greek Street Gallery already firmly established as the
primary cult art space in London, the Charing Cross Road gallery will double
the viewing space, allowing the public to see a constantly evolving group show
by exciting emerging and established artists.
The Outsiders are a band of cult artists who’ve been working outside the
established world creating a scene of their own. The absolute core of cult art is
its accessibility to its public. Lazarides Gallery has a genuine desire to be as
inclusive and unconstrained by the art world as possible. This is reflected by
the Lazarides client base which includes plumbers and pop stars, school kids
and established art collectors.
Also launching in May will be an entirely new, interactive website, allowing all
users to move virtually through the galleries and look at the work. Designed by
Zombie Flesh Eaters, each of the Lazarides artists will have their own page,
with a bio, current and past work, news section and picture gallery where news
items and videos can be uploaded.
Zombie Flesh Eaters is an award winning illustration, animation, web design
and graphics studio. The company was founded in 2000 by Creative Director
Jamie Hewlett - co-creator of Tank Girl and Gorillaz, and since its inception
has garnered much recognition for its work across the areas of music video,
graphic design, press, web and live performance.
