Juxtapoz Journal – Oli Epp Presents a New “Shampoo” in London

Oli Epp says loads with little or no. He would not overwhelm with a whole bunch of colours, and his edges are sharp and his material is obvious. He portrays the digital with an actual hand, a maximizing of the minimal. He has dabbled with the depiction of celeb, a type of Warholian forged of characters that seem in his work and specifically with Shampoo, his new present at Carl Kostyál in London, has targeted on iconic feminine celeb that leaves you guessing but additionally iconic in their very own proper. The gallery mentions Tom Wesselmann, and that appears to be an apt comparability for the up to date Epp. 

And despite the fact that these are playful works, there may be an depth and virtually manic vitality of their composition. The facial expressions are jagged and arduous, with angle and hyper-sexualized anonymity. On this means, Epp performs with our reminiscence of the icon, not with softness however with rawness. —Evan Pricco
