Rob Ryan at Paul Smith by SummerSeventySix
Fitting in seamlessly with the eclectic aesthetic of Paul Smith are the colorful cut-outs of artist Rob Ryan, and an exhibition of them has just started at the designer's women's shop on Sloane Avenue in London. Not unlike Scottish artist David Shrigley, Ryan likes to hide an unsettling message in his seemingly sweet and simplistic pictures, which are painstakingly put together using delicate paper cut with scalpels. The show runs until 12 May 2006, and the originals are on sale alongside prints and t-shirts.

Howard Tangye
Clothing designer, artist and teacher Howard Tangye gives us an unusual look at models, likely to inspire allusions to Schiele. The etched lines draw out a specific moment in time and the eyes seem to be sharing a conversation, listening to someone go on. You can almost predict what they are about to say, responding to you with compassion, yet keeping their guard up...

Herbert Baglione:Two Broken Knees
by Ariston Anderson Herbert Baglione is one of Brazil's most provocative exports, currently bringing his humanistic paintings to a new show in London.

Faile: Lost in Glimmering Shadows
by Ariston Anderson For London street art fans, the must see-show this week is Faile's "Lost in Glimmering Shadows," as they bring their inimitable prints and paintings across the Atlantic. The art collective's London show last year, "From Brooklyn with Love," sold out instantly, and led to an invitation from the TATE Modern Gallery to invite them to paint their exterior this past May. This...

Giles Round at ICA
Native Londoner Giles Round creates sculptures and assemblages that resemble the confounding models of a minimalist stage set designer and his work is currently being shown at London's Institute of Contemporary Arts. Rectilinear frames evoke the woodwork of Donald Judd, twisting in space to create volumes into which he introduces monochromatic panels, lights and typographic studies. Like other minimalist artists before him, Round appropriates...
