Surprise, surprise, Nieves delivers another superb, collaborative publication

Collaborative publications – almost always great, yes? This is no exception. Michael Dumontier – one brilliant half of the recently folded Art Lodge collective – who produced epic pieces of satirical painting such as these books and these Animals with Sharpies – has been sneakily emailing artist Micah Lexier for a long time now. Sending found images to one another, each visually relating somehow to the next, the style of their work bouncing off the relative pictures is a true joy to behold. Get your hands on a book if you can, although seeing as it’s published by ludicrously in-demand and consistently brilliant Nieves, good luck.
