"Stitches" at The European Bookshop

2010-05-27T19:43:00.005+01:00

"This will be the second exhibition in London by the Spanish young artist Raquel J. Alves, and the first one held in the shop this year. We are very proud to display four pieces of her novel and personal art on our wall before it travels to Spain for another exhibition.

Don't miss your chance and come by to take a look by yourself as you don't see this needle painting mixed with collage too often (yet), and certaintly it looks better in real life than in picture."

"Raquel J. Alves is an artist from London.
She creates collages combining paper, wallpaper, canvas, paint and threads.
As well as using the threads to explore movement and flow on the pieces, Raquel stitches the outlines to the illustrations.
I find these pieces really engaging – her use of colour and texture is terrific, and the style of the pieces pushes my buttons.
Each piece is a clever combination of materials and texture delivered to a high standard.
Raquel is a highly talented individual and the output on her Flickr photostream reinforces her artistry.
You can explore Raquel’s world at her blog and if you’re in London you can see her work for reals at the Pogo Cafe throughout March."

Don't come round but if you do...

2009-12-25T18:42:00.004Z

if you sometimes knock and I don't answer ...
maybe I am chasing the butterflies in
my wallpaper

I mean if I don't answer
I don't answer, and the reason is
that I am not yet ready to kill you
or love you, or even accept you,
it means I don't want to talk
I am busy, I am mad, I am glad
or maybe I'm stringing up a rope;
so even if the lights are on
and you hear sound
like breathing or praying or singing
a radio or the roll of dice
or typing -
go away, it is not the day
the night, the hour;

until the world is
stopped or opened
forever.
