Words by Alex Bec, Wednesday 18 November 2009

Nice little re-jig from Jasper with some new work. A master of his art, who seems to be constantly looking to explore new ways of working – am especially liking this new piece, a great development of his earlier output.

Work / Art Llewellyn Mejia's paintings created in between commercial projects

Llewellyn Mejia is an illustrator introduced to us through his work with our sister agency, Anyways. The New York-based illustrator has a broad range of commercial clients from Fortnum & Mason, Anthropologie to Urban Outfitters and Patagonia. However, it is the work Llewellyn does for fun that intrigued us, a collection of paintings that display his artistic skill and interests in equal parts.

At this year’s Venice Biennale, British artist Stephen Chambers is showing a series of 101 portraits depicting the characters of a legendary tale based on the West Indian island of Redonda.

Work / Publication The calling cards of Warhol, Haring, Matisse and more reproduced in new book Oracles

123 calling cards from an international roster of artists ranging from the 18th century to the present day have been facsimilied and inserted into new book Oracles by Pierre Leguillon and Barbara Fedier. The 256-page book, designed by Clovis Duran and published by Editions Patrick Frey, contains texts by over 70 writers that follows the history of the calling card, the context in which they were produced and an examination of historical and fictional narratives.

Work / Art We speak to Gillian Wearing about making the first statue of a woman in Parliament square

There might be a woman at Number 10 – for now at least – but the green of Parliament Square, arguably the UK’s most politically loaded public space, remains male dominated. Why? Well, take an eye to the nine statues on the green: Sir Robert Peel, Benjamin Disraeli, the Earl of Derby, Lord Palmerston, Field Marshal Jan Smuts, Winston Churchill, David Lloyd George, Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi – and you’ll find an all male cast.
