JUST ANNOUNCED: FAILE UNVEILS BOLD NEW STUFF
A new gallery show from the Brooklyn art collective Faile has just been announced at Lazarides in London and even though they say it’s not a radical departure from their recent work, we feel like it is.

Yes there will be the blocked paintings, and other quilt-like piecing together of familiar fragments of pulp and pop imagery, but the show actually features straight ahead painting. The series of faceless fashion plates of female figures on canvas and found objects bring to mind the bold patterning and mix and match style of Other and maybe the couture insouciance of Miss Buggs but it’s a raw hand-rendered warmth and the combined snippets from their established graphic vocabulary that make it solidly Faile. It’s a fresh stripped down approach and a departure from these guys who just finished the Houston Wall in Manhattan, and it already wins.
