About The ART and the ARTIST

Most are familiar with Cautys Stamp series

Children of the Damned is an early composition and even better, it was part of the Art Hate Campaign 2009. 

Purchased at the L-13 Gallery Art Hate Week in 2009, Children of the Damned Make a Stand is a Parody of The Midwhich Cookoos written by John Wyndham and its adaptation Village of the Damned. It tells the tale of an English village where the women become pregnant by aliens in this Dystopian novel.

The only format of this issue!  Super Rare Cauty piece!

This will look absolutely magnificent framed...IMO the stand-out print of the series!

Cauty has jointly exhibited with Banksy at Dismaland and his Small World Re-enactments are phenomenal.  Research his immense back-catalogue, you will be stunned by his imaginative productions.

The new SKY ARTS Documentary WHO KILLED THE KLF featuring Cauty and Bill Drummond will only raise the profile of Cautys work in collectability and value.

James Cauty has now been publishing works through the L-13 in it's three previous guises ('The Aquarium', 'The Aquarium L-13' and the 'L-13 Light Industrial Workshop') for 19 years since the first Blacksmoke Stamps of Mass Destruction 'Gas Mask Queen' pieces.

His output over that time has been prolific, classy, quirky, dark, humorous, controversial, thought-provoking and delightfully edgy and hard-hitting, making him really like-able and collectable.  The rarity of all of his work just amplifies this collectability.  There is always something for every budget with Jimmy's work too.

This piece was not issued with provenance on purchase.

A great artist...an iconic gallery...amazing value-for-money rare British art at it's best.
