BLAG Passion & Patience
Opus Art are proud to be involved in Passion & Patience, an online exhibition with BLAG magazine featuring art and photography works by Sally A. Edwards & Sarah J. Edwards. Starring Julian Casablancas, Adrien Brody, Beastie Boys, James McAvoy, Joseph Fiennes, Josh Homme (QOTSA), MGMT, Jaime Winstone, Sean Faris, Gavin Turk, Phoenix and Broken Bells.
Using the mediums of large scale photography by Sarah J. Edwards and art by Sally A. Edwards, Passion & Patience explores the ownership of pop culture by making the works of the magazine available publicly as art. It examines prediction as opposed to retrospect. It will ask the questions, does this work – with such a rich influence, set-up and time consuming arrangement – have to live entirely in a printed book or online anymore? We investigate the perception of BLAG as 'just a magazine.'
Via photography Passion & Patience presents portraits of those with genuine talent who BLAG believe deserve to be celebrated. Their success is and will be in large down to their own passion and patience. This will be juxtaposed with art pieces, which would if they had originally existed be used as source material.
As a photographer, Sarah presents her subjects as future icons, influenced by the laid-back iconic reportage images of Steve McQueen, Paul Newman and Robert Redford. Her work challenges our relationships with celebrity and paparazzi culture by creating intimate, carefully orchestrated natural set-ups, capturing an entirely different energy. Using medium format film, she takes influence from film direction to create each shot, as if a still. She admires the works of Robby Müller, Wes Anderson and Paul Thomas Anderson.
As art director Sally creates each edition of BLAG in an non-formulaic manner, using a number of influences from reflections, light, shadows, energies, high-end fashion to cubism. She provokes the idea that a magazine shouldn't retain strict rules such as limited word counts or images, but chooses to let each story flow naturally – that said her design style is incredibly meticulous. She creates bespoke thematic art based pieces to run throughout each edition from abstract to script poster inspired typography. She draws on inspiration from the innovative yet precise methods of european design and art of the 50s and 60s, looking at works of the era such as Design magazine. She agrees with Rómulo Macció's style of working which was defined as 'Pleasure in the strictly objective is always tempered by a light decorative touch, which lends his work its personal note.'
All photographs are personally approved by talent and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to a selection of charities recommended by the featured talent including: Patrick The Optimist for Phoenix, Humane Society of New York for Adrien Brody, Oxfam for James McAvoy, Nordorf-Robbins for MGMT, House of Fairy Tales for Gavin Turk, Great Ormand Street Hospital for Broken Bells and Sweet Relief Musicians Fund for Josh Homme. Each purchase will be signed by Sarah J. Edwards / Sally A. Edwards and be couriered with a certificate of authenticity.
