King Of Paint
The opening exhibition proved to be a fun night, artwork was being displayed by two friends of mine, I wanted to check out the style of artwork being produced and the type of products or services that were on on offer.
As a pioneering new shop, KOP are trying to engage with the broader community, offering a unique insight with designated outdoor paint spaces.
On the surface KOP is a spray paint outlet and gallery space, but it also aims to be a hub for artists, run by artists, that is dedicated to giving the city’s scene a much-needed, designated space; to exhibit, meet, hang out, draw and paint.
Conan O'Brien American Express Ad-Review
The television advert starts off with a romantic view of a Mediterranean cityscape cutting to a very old record player, next we see a team of local craftsmen and women working in a glass blowing workshop.
This creates the setting, and communicates to the viewer, along with the accompanying music the many different languages that are being used to illustrate the creative process.
The main figure, in this case "Conan O'Brien" is depicted as a unpredictable, sporadic character. Development and manipulation of signs are communicated using iconic, indexical & symbolic signs in the form or object e.g.(Applause sign).
The satirical concept that outlines the syntagmatic & paradigmatic relations between the signifier and the signified, are shown in this case when the Artist is finally pleased with his work and the craftsmanship that has gone into producing the object.
He then proceeds to test the (Applause sign), completing his parole whilst further communicating an iconic yet more subtle connotative meaning.

Do artists/creative practitioners have more responsibility than other members of society for addressing social issues?
Artists have always been at the forefront of change and social responsibility.
Defying conventions and setting trends, the artists influence and creativity never fails to captivate , inspire and educate.
Why are we so engaged as a globe in what is happening around us and does it have a direct impact on humanity as a whole and are benefiting from it socially.
