There is something so good about east London. Its like all those other decrepit come trendy areas in all cities around the world. The kids might be a bit poorer but they've got some good ideas about the world. Charlie Woolley is one of those kids, an artist who grew up out here, works, makes things and exhibits in the east. His images are startling- diptychs taken from various media sources and put together to create a new intent. They are aesthetically interesting, the colours of your phosphorescent youth and yet somehow sinister. Woolley was also a part of the Copenhagen radio project, where he took up a residency and ran a radio station for a month. I hope he has another exhibition soon so I can see this all in real life.
