PRISONER OF ART

'Beautiful hand-made oversize art book + DVD hand-coloured and signed by underground UK filmmaker Jeff Keen. Released in a numbered edition of only 200 copies, this works as the perfect complement to the recent BFI box set covering Keen’s incredible DIY junk/ritual films, with a DVD that bundles a bunch of stuff not available on the BFI set (featuring 1964’s Instant Cinema, 1964’s Flik Flak, 1965’s The Games And Diversions Of Dr Gaz, 1983-86’s Blatzom, 1994’s Hamma Blatz Onata, 2006’s Eyeblaze, 1991’s Graffiko Blatz and 1995’s Artwar 3: Irresistible Attack) and a book that perfectly matches Keen’s lurid, homemade aesthetic with paste-on coloured sketches, photographs and collage work individually hand-coloured by Keen himself. Keen’s aesthetic lies somewhere between Ray Dennis Steckler, Kenneth Anger and Dylan Nyoukis and this is another dazzling flash from deep inside his own personal universe.'
