Fringe report review of Fugitive Ink…

John Park, editor of online Fringe culture review magazine ‘Fringe Report’ made a welcome appearance at the private view for our Open House Fugitive Ink, here’s what he had to say…

‘Jake Spicer is an artistic tour de force. His focus is women, in paint and drawing, naked, in costume. They relax, sprawl, pose on beds, sofas and chairs. The interiors they inhabit and the costumes they wear are often - but not always - ornate, decayed, some with a feel of the past. Each person ripples with explosive sexuality. Just as a cat is seldom unaware, always seeming ready to spring, so each subject - the word seems quite wrong, none of the women conveys being passive - seems relaxed but holding back: ready for something, quietly on fire, in possession of the full force of her woman-ness, on the cusp of slipping the hand-brake.’
