DAZED AND CONFUSED
Review of BLUE PERIOD show
"Yeo appears to be throwing aside his mantle as the establishment painter of his day (he's created portraits of Tony Blair, Margaret Thatcher, Dennis Hopper and a litany of other celebrities) in favour of something that has more in common with the language of revolt. His brand new show of collages is made exclusively of pornographic imagery and grew out of a print he made of George Bush with cocks subtly inserted in his face. This exhibition of contorting nudes, and portraits of people like Hugh Hefner, is made exclusively out of cuttings from the cheapest magazines to be found on the top shelf. The results are surprizingly thought-provoking."
