Gid London pulls out the Gitanes and joins Duchamp & Co. in a repossession of the modernist tradition of collage. Debunking and reframing consumer and contemporary imagery, London crafts a wry critique of modern society. Faded icons of middle-class England are deconstructed with cynical aplomb by big-busted, soft-focus models; press headlines are garbled and chopped to service this artist's subtle wiles, or obscured to mimic a poster torn from the wall. Badlands brings collage to the 21st century by twisting acerbic criticism with subtle, current references, in a mishmash of images that adopt popular culture only to unabashedly mock it.
