From street art to classicism, from Schiele’s surgery to the nervousness of Guy Denning, joyfully mixing figurative and abstract lines, drawn or painted, monochrome, colored, the works of British Joseph Loughborough (Portsmouth, 1981) seem to concentrate on a same space the diversity of Man. Shades, celebrated or hushed up and that all, though, strive for a same horizon: their decomposition. As, finally, age, sex, soul and body, the group as the subject, with calm or frenzy, follow a rhythm which last step forces anguish and fear. Joseph Loughborough currently, and until April 15, exhibits at Lille’s Contemporary Art Fair.
