What do you think?

Right now Stephen Ives has a solo show at ADCO:Venue in Copenhagen. The show is called: The Resistible Rise of a Bear of Little Brain.

At the show you see the once innocent Pooh Bear from The Hundred Acre Forrest mixed with images of war. It is a story about power, corruption, hypocrisy, war and propaganda and in connection with the Pooh Bear the story becomes even more disturbing. Or would you rather argue, that the Pooh Bear adds a twist of humour that makes it more easy to digest?

What do you think?

I recommend you go and see the show or at least see Stephen Ives' artworks at www.gallery-venue.com.

Unlike previous blog posts I will not say more about these works right now. Instead I invite you to see the show for yourself and give your comment here on the blog.

Tell me what you think about it - how it makes you feel - does it make you think, wonder and ponder - or are you left numb?

I am curious and looking forward to hearing from you.

Art regards
