London show confirmed
The Horrors' Faris Badwan is set to host a new exhibition of his visual art in London.
The Horrors have always maintained outside interests. Despite their hectic tour schedule, the band are able to run club nights, pick up DJ slots, organise side projects and even host art exhibitions.
Faris Badwan studied illustration at St. Martins, and has always kept up his interest in visual art. Previously hosting a solo exhibition, the frontman has now confirmed plans for a new collection of his output. (via FACT)
Titled 'Creatures in Colour: Sketchbooks from Faris Badwan' the exhibition takes place at the Strand Gallery. Running between September 18th - 30th, the drawings seemingly focus on the theme of voyeurism.
A quick quote from Faris Badwan: “my sketchbooks have always been fairly voyeuristic in that many of the drawings spring from watching people or mishearing conversations…shreds of sentences or characters and their personality traits appear on different pages, and then continue to develop and mutate. The effect is a bit like spying on someone through a warped lens.“
You can view a few of those illustrations on Badwan's website, which also contains details of how to order limited edition prints.

What else could we point to but 'Still Life'?
