Hitler Killed The Duck

 Scream Gallery in London presents Hitler Killed the Duck, a solo exhibition of new works by British legendary artist David Bailey. Shown in public for the first time, the new works are mixed-media images inspired by the artist's childhood, influences, inspiration, fears and desires.
The exhibition is named after Bailey's memories of an old cinema at his neighbourhood when he was little:
“There was a cinema in Upton Park, an Odeon I think, and that’s where I saw Bambi and Mickey Mouse cartoons, and I thought that was the only place you could see them.  Hitler bombed it, so he sort of killed Mickey Mouse, Bambi and all those characters for me.   Because all I did as a kid was draw Walt Disney characters”  he describes.
Hitler and Disney characters are juxtaposed in many of Bailey's paintings, while others feature portraits of great personalities like Andy Warhol, Kate Moss and Jery Hall with highlight the self-portrait of the artist as Velazquez's Pope Innocent X.

The exhibition will last by the 12th of November, 2011

Suehiro Maruo

Suehiro Maruo is a Japanese manga artist, illustrator and painter whose work is inspired by the Ero Guro movement, with a really special and widely recognizable nightmarish style. Born in 1956 in Nagasaki, Maruo started his career sketching for pornographic comic magazines, as his work was often rejected from big editions. However, this did not negatively affect his vision, which he passionately followed, finally leading him to become one of the most reknown artists of his kind worldwide.

Maruo's stories often take place in the early years of japanese Showa Era, featuring strange heroes with oddities, deformities or birth defects in sex or violent situations. Like many manga artists, he makes cameo appearances in his own stories.

Although Maruo is mostly known for his work as a manga artist, he has also produced illustrations for concert posters, CD jackets, magazines, novels and various other media.

The Popovy Sisters

Twin sisters Elena and Ekaterina Popovy are from Russia and have a unique, magical talent in the art of doll-making. Their extravagant creations are a deep dive into human anatomy and history with conceptual elements and amazing stylization. The two girls experiment with various materials like china, paperclay, fumo and plastic giving their dolls realistic gestures and almost human characteristics, transforming them into real pieces of art. The Popovy dolls have been awarded at the 3rd International Salon in Moscow and were recently exhibited at the Strychnin Gallery in Berlin.
