100 Billion on HS2 ..... but still no housing options ?????

This Country is just a laughable joke at this stage ….. the only people that can remain amused by this utter farce presented as ' function ' …. are those suitably interned by it as to be overpaying for a house and home by 60% - 70% … and think that they are getting a good deal ( even though most comparisons over housing and living quality , demonstrate the u.k to be miles behind even ' developing nations ' these days )

'' A place in The Sun '' - '' Homes Under the Hammer '' …. we have had decades of this propaganda trying to encourage people to see the ' bargain ' that can be had with a crumbling pile of bricks with no roof and rising damp in this drizzle ridden british climate ….. its easy to see that for what you would spend on a single dwelling in some run down suburb in some dying market town in this country …. you could actually get a reasonable family home …. with ample room …. external spaces ….. in a community that still functions …… in a far more appealing climate …. less taxes …. better food and beer …..

but keep calm and carry on folks ….. if you just buy that crumbling piece of shit ( pay the estate agent and the duty and taxes ) …. spend some money fixing it up ( pay the mark up on some DIY monopoly ) … well you yourself could yeald a rental income ( again commissions being payed to people that actually don't render very much ) …. and take the profit element of that income and go and live abroad …. in some brittish ex pat …. all day breakfast buffet - costa del asshole piece of shit …..

what a fucking nightmare …..

and now … instead of tackling the national homelessness issues …. stabilizing national and international trade agreements …. decades worth of underfunded and failing infrastructure …. higher education renders a debt sentence equivocal to damn mortgage ….. the engineered destruction of our NHS and outlying social support systems … we get funding available for competitive commercial initiatives …. all vying for the attached commissions …. less work = more pay !!! the age of the fucking charlatan rolls on

so we get a ' high speed ' rail network for 4 times its original budget allocation

watch this space … if my predictions are correct we will end up with the majority of that capitol being carved up into a bonus structure that tends to reward the brothers / sisters / cousins / sons and daughters … of the previous generations utter incompetent's.... who somehow have managed to earmark all of the managerial and utterly unaccountable positions in this country ….

It would be funny ….. if it wasn't such a fucking tragedy !!!

The Signature Style

Part of the ongoing body of works that have been come to be known as ' the Valerio Signature Style ' that has now come to encompass independent sub headings within the genre, including , ' The mandalas ' , ' The Orgy Balls ' , ' Studies of the Female Form ' , ' Cerebral ' and ' Unorthodox'

A manner of works I began working on as a child , to attempt to keep away from over embellishing them or over anthropomorphising or patterning , just to stay in the most grounding earthy tones and let the mind wander through the undulations to assist in the firing of the imagination

'The Under-exaggerated Origins of V'

After studying at Plymouth College of Art and Design, Valerio continued his studies at Sheffield Hallam University and Greenwich University and West Kent College.

Now based between his studio in Cornwall and Amsterdam, he is able to collaborate with some of the best known names in Art and Architecture on an international scale as well as here at home in the south west.

Valerio Describes his own work as ' dreamlike manifestations, evoking less than circumstantial references to archetypal memories of landscapes, and local geographies, figurative studies and all in between that which is captured in the veld of the diverse experiences that make up a lifetime.'

Chris Burchell, Art Critic and Curator of the Wharf Gallery , Tavistock 2010

written a few years ago now.

Valerio has been a keen art student. he has made excellent progress, demonstrating an imaginative and innovative response to a variety of stimuli, and has produced some outstanding units of course work.

Valerio has improved his ability to draw from observation with increasing skill and enjoys working in a variety of media, he has shown ability to draw from experience and imagination. Valerio has produced paintings of unusual quality, and shows a real awareness of the use of colour. His heightened critical awareness of other artists and cultures is an integral and successful aspect of his own work and he works well independently. Valerio's talent recommends him without question.

What do you make of the artist as a person?

Valerio , the man is a Raving Maniac, A genuine charicature of what an artist should be, hes eloquent and polite soft spoken and gentile , unless he is working on something of particular focus then he can be irritable , and unreasonable , never knowing if he is about to burst into song , or scream and shout a series of profanities against whatever is vexing him most at the time, even visitors to the gallery , ever outspoken and provocative toward debate, the constant array of models and well wishers that tend to come with the Artists Gallery appearances , can make even a quiet day seem lively!

Elusive is something of an understatement with this Artist and appearances are Rare as are his lectures and public exposures but a keen collaborator you will find the signature Valerio influence in many places you really wouldnt be expecting to find it, A very strong talent for such a young Artist already exhibiting his well developed style so that it is instantly recognizable, a Talent and a Character rapidly gaining in influence and popularity, and deservedly so!

101 Reasons....

From the series of sketchbook illustrations that eventually became the published book of illustrations ' 101 Reasons to choose a vocation in the creative industries ' the original series started out as a series of autobiographical sidenotes in my working sketchbooks, a clear homage to the work of Ralph Steadman and Hunter Thompson, are little cartoons I have been doing during those moments when you say to yourself ' what the actual F**k ??!!' which can happen a lot in this job !! the original set of sketchbook thumbnails were each revised for the publication and have always proved a great hit in their own right whenever they have gone on display at exhibition . Now in the 11th year of ongoing production, the series now consists of over 200 hundred images depicting recollections or reflections from Working Corporate positions in 2000 -my first pop up gallery ' The Arts Hole in Cornwall '2006- 'The Green Star House ' Design and build Project 2009- through the political and legal battles of the 'Valerio Institute'2013- to our most recent projects of ' Why Not ' in Amsterdam and the latest ART B&B and education projects running in parallel in Cornwall u.k and Amsterdam N.L 2016/2017 It Really has been quite a ride
