I really enjoyed this show by Conor Harrington "Headless Heroes" at Lazarides Rathbone, in London, running until the 26th November. Harrrington's practice is split between inside (oil painting) and outside (murals), and the parallel between oil painting and graffiti becomes a paragon for his subjects specifically authority and its defacement. There are many references to the history of oil painting, from Manet's the Execution of Maximilian to Delacroix's Liberty Leading the People and that's what I found really interesting. Go and see it !
