The pseudo erotic screen print echoes imagery found in 1960's True Crime magazines. It is imposed on a mid-century fairground graphic panel, bearing the scars of a colourful life alluding to the potentially spectacular history of the woman in the picture. The overall spirit of the work brings to mind the hard boiled crime novels of Raymond Chandler and the dark and mysterious underworld his characters inhabited.

Dangerous Minds Artists is a studio founded by Michael Lake-McMillan and Alan Stuart in 2015. The artist's distinctive contemporary pop art works constantly refers to and returns to the touchstones of light, beauty in decay, abandonment and antiquated typography.
Dangerous Minds practice is driven by duality. The pairs’ intuitive subliminal dialogue centers on point and counterpoint and the production of works that are, fundamentally, aesthetically appealing and which, on further inspection, inspire curiosity and cause a ripple of intellectual stimulation. Subject matter is considered in depth, deconstructed then reformulated with an essential duality at its core. Often incorporating ambiguous or cryptic text elements relating to a parallel narrative.
Key to their oeuvre is the juxtaposition of the immediately apparent and that which only becomes visible through physical change – either in the position of the viewer or in the lighting of the work, whether specifically engineered or occurring naturally with the transition of day into night.
Michael Lake-McMillan and Alan Stuart live and work in London, United Kingdom.
