I attended the preview of Giles Curties aka ‘Horn Head’, first solo show ‘Post art’ at the Hartnoll gallery on 37 Duke st. I met Giles Curties and Lizzie Hartnoll randomly last week at another show preview and they were nice enough to invite me over for this one.

The works are paintings on a collage of envelopes using spray paint, not unlike street art. Giles first started his career as a street artist. His work reflects this style, although he has evolved from using the street walls to envelopes as his canvas, he has kept the symbol of the ‘Horn Head” as his signature.

I loved the show. I appreciate the edginess of his spontaneous street art style, yet his use of envelopes as canvas is very nostalgic and old school. The best part of it is that every single envelope was mailed to the gallery through the postal system. When was the last time anybody mailed a letter?
