Description

Broken Fingaz (BFC) is a psycho-pop collective of four young Israelis from Haifa. BFC began in 2001 as graffiti artists, but soon became internationally active in multiple disciplines: street art, animation, installation, painting, murals, and graphics. With their unique visual style – a mix of skateboard visuals, pulp comics, B-movies, and neo-psychedelics – they breach the wall between the so-called High Arts and popular culture. They have a worldwide fan base and have produced artwork for, among others, U2, Beck, Pearl Jam, and Blink 182. BFC has participated in group shows at the Saatchi Gallery London ('Alchemy', 'Jealous Needs You') and 'Beyond the Streets' in New York. They have already published limited edition fanzines, which sell out immediately. This is the first monograph on their work.

Author Biography:

Charlotte Jansen is an arts and culture journalist based in London. She has written for The Guardian, Elle, CNN, VICE, Fast Company, the Financial Times, and Dazed Magazine. She is the editor- at- large for Elephant Magazine and the author of the book Girl on Girl. Royal Academician Humphrey Ocean is one of Britain’s most respected contemporary painters. From 1971 to 1973 he played bass with Kilburn and the Highroads as a student and the band supported The Who on their 1973 Christmas tour. As his artistic career flourished, Ocean painted a famous portrait of his good friend sir Paul McCartney and held his first major solo exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in 1984. Since then, he has also shown at Tate Liverpool and Whitechapel Gallery. In 2012-2013, Ocean made a return to the National Portrait Gallery with his exhibition A handbook of modern life, a series of new portraits accompanied by a new publication. A man of wide ranging interests, Ocean’s other projects include Big Mouth: The Amazon Speaks, his book with the American anthropologist Stephen Nugent about their visit to Northern Brazil and his work with filmmaker John Tchalenko. In 2012 he received an Honorary Doctorate from Canterbury Christ Church University and was appointed Professor of Perspective at the Royal Academy Schools.
