In its 2013 archive, 4me4you delves into a visit to FLAXON PTOOCH, a unique hybrid hair salon and art gallery located at 237 Kentish Town Road, London.
At the centre of this visit is Belaruski’s bold and expressive work, art that thrives on contradiction, humour, and emotional depth.
Born in Northern Ireland and now based in London, Joni Belaruski is rarely found not making something, whether art or music. Her work celebrates the weird and the wonderful, the dark and the silly, drawing inspiration from sources as varied as pop culture, pornography, and David Attenborough. Fishing deep within the human psyche, her imagery navigates the space where dreams and nightmares meet, all topped off with a sharp dose of gallows humour.
For Belaruski, a canvas can be anything: a wall, a guitar, a drum skin, or a found piece of wood, whatever surface is ready to absorb the idea.
