Jasper Goodall: “Poster Girl”

These arresting prints are part of  illustrator Jasper Goodall’s “Poster Girl” collection, which is currently on display at London’s Electric Blue Gallery. Look closely and you’ll see that the prints marry images with real-life females, who are posed behind the art but whose arms, legs, etc. are extensions of the art.  According to a review of the show on the gallery site, “the work explores the notion of fantasy versus reality, a subject which has fascinated Goodall for some time.” And here’s a fantastic quote from the artist:

“Sexual attraction, I believe is almost entirely down to our fantasies, after all when you first meet someone you don’t know them, but you make up and idea about them in your mind and it’s this fantasy that you are attracted to. Once you get to know them, all too often the fantasy doesn’t match with the reality, I think it’s why such a large proportion of relationships don’t really get off the ground!”

Amen to that, Jasper!

Spotted on Kanye’s blog, which, yeah, you could totally see how he would be into this work given the freaky-deaky sex stage he seems to be working through these days!
