Here's a visual direction I don't mind treading on.
The artist is Richard Woods, currently residing in London. The work subverts expectations to a maximal level.
An unexpected inversion can invoke surprise and alarm.

Challenging established notions, an aged structure is transformed.
It's the high/low dichotomy, and Woods' vision takes it to new heights.

Frequent showings suggest Woods' has garnered considerable acclaim.

Indeed, Woods' presence in the UK is flush with exhibitions.
More on this superlative graphical style is available in the NY Times T Magazine blog.
A book on Woods' work has also been issued.
A welcome and invigorating perspective. Kudos to Richard Woods.
