Anarchy in the Art Gallery is a humorous and thought provoking illustrated book: a re-imagined trip through Western art and cultural history, and one not limited by time or space. It mixes characters, places, events and situations to create fresh and interesting new possibilities: Lowry paints science fiction, Jane Austin is a cage fighter, Magritte takes his driving test and Anne Hathaway was the real author of Shakespeare' s plays. People, situations and ideas are taken out of context and mixed to create new stories. Two Bruegel peasants steal clocks from a Dali painting, a tourist cycles through Van Gogh' s cornfield and Picasso' s Demoiselles d' Avignon appear in Monet' s waterlily pond. From art and writing to philosophy and popular culture, this book is a funny, fresh and irreverent journey through our collective cultural past.
Dave left school with one GCSE, and his first job was putting the eyes in teddy bears in a toy factory. After a spell at art college, he worked for several advertising agencies where he designed everything from ads for edible dormice to the Newton & Ridley beer bottle labels for Coronation Street. After a degree in Creative Arts, Dave worked in Amsterdam creating postcards, strip cartoons and illustrations for newspapers. He has since created illustrations, puzzles, cartoon features and strips for magazines and newspapers both in the UK and abroad. Dave has taught in a number of art colleges and universities, and has a PhD in Contemporary Art.
