The illustrated book was published on the occasion of the exhibition „Allen Johnes. Show Time. Gemälde, Aquarelle, Zeichnungen“, 7 October 2009 to 11 November 2009, Galerie Levy, Hamburg.

Dimly lit jazz clubs, cocktail bars, circus, theatre and magic shows permeate the erotically charged work of British painter and leading exponent of Pop Art, Allen Jones. His paintings, featuring dancers and lovers, express dazzling energies of illusion and fantasy. Caught between the world of dreams and reality, changing scenes full of illusion and magic point to the power of fantasy and the artistic vision. Jones uses such scenes to address the major themes of human existence: the cycle of eternal recurrence but also the creative energy of transformation as the quintessence of life and art. At the heart of his work lies the magical power of love, which unites opposites and generates something new from the alliance of female and male principles. The goddess of love and beauty thus plays a crucial role in Jones’ aesthetic.

Oddity Bar, A Workshop-Inspired Cocktail Joint with an Industrial Vintage Edge

Located in Iasi, Romania, Oddity Bar resembles an antiquated atelier where a charmingly rusty wooden bar takes the place of the workbench and tool racks are overflowing with shiny glasses and bottles.

The design, envisioned by local architecture firm aPunct, is a weird and wonderful mishmash of recycled objects and time-worn textures that somehow weave together to create a coherent, visually stimulating space.

Objects are given new life and meaning, and a few unexpected details here and there add to the venue’s unique character – a salvaged surgical lamp looms above the bar, an old pommel horse serves as seating, and a couple of distorted mirrors hang on the crumbling walls, playing with your mind and your perception of reality. Expect a cool, relaxed vibe complemented by superb cocktails and excellent music.
