Very regular and attentive readers of Gamesblog will know that I occasionally post about art exhibitions that gamers may be interested in, usually because the works on show partially resemble videogame environments. In my opinion. (See here and here). Well, I have two more for you.
From Friday April 11 until - May 9, the Chambers Gallery near the Barbican has painting by Ukrainian artists Vladimir Zhugan, Anatoly Shariy and Yuri Zorko, who specialise in portraying the country's industrial heritage. Zhugan's work, especially, with its huge rusting edifices, brings to mind the landscapes in Quake II, STALKER and the forthcoming Damnation. More info here.
Then, at the New Cross Gallery until April 26 you can see the work of German artist, Mudwig, whose style mixes animation, painting and 'billboard suberversion'. I think the mixture of media would be great for a Tsumoto Kuono or Keita Takahashi game and reminds me a little of the visual concept behind LittleBigPlanet.
