That Hideous Strength
(via

This week I visited Lauchie Reid’s first solo art show at
Narwhal Art Projects here in Toronto.
Lauchie is actually an old friend. He went to high school with Liam, and I had heard many a tale of his escapades, long before I met him.
When I finally did meet him, I wasn’t just introduced to him, but to his art (along with the art collective he is a part of:
Team Macho).
His art: is amazing. I think it pretty much has everything going for it possibly could - it’s funny, it’s beautifully rendered, it’s mysterious, it makes you think, it makes you feel, it is Art with a capital A - but you could still hang it on your wall over your couch and it would make you really happy (well, most of it anyways… some of it’s a little too creepy - for me anyways).
I always support my friends in their artistic endeavors, because I know how hard it is to put yourself out there, but even if Lauchie weren’t my friend I would seek out and support his work. It’s that good.
You should go see it while you can.
