CSM Graphics Show 2011


We had the pleasure of attending the CSM Graphics show at the Nicholls and Clarke space in Shoreditch last night. A good range of work and some lovely photography. Highlights for me included Ali Halil, whose Childhood Memories series was brilliant - showing the confusing reality of his grandfather's dementia. I found it very moving the way he combined a childs proportions and situations with the face of an old man - it looks like his Grandfather has quite small proportions. I loved it, it stopped me in my tracks.


Also his series on office boredom and Mario out of duty - self explanatory really. Sort out your bio page though Mr Halil!



Other honourable mentions include Olga Krasanova's documentary portraits of her native Siberia which were particularly beautiful.
