The Artist

Raphael Prais likes to use expressive lines and vibrant colours to depict the human body and convey the vitality of life in its true form. He is a lawyer in his spare time, and finds art is the antidote to law, which thrives on the manipulation of life into a form that is distorted of all truth. He is still trying to decide where his influences lie – all suggestions welcome. His work is currently showing, until 8 November 2012 at the Mango Room, Camden: http://www.mangoroom.co.uk/. All welcome at the closing party, Saturday 3 November.

The Writer

A budding writer, Raphael is halfway through his first novel, which is a humorous take on a mysterious phenomenon. You’ll have to wait until it’s published to know more. In the meantime, why don’t you go to this website a – www.baddollar.com – and allow him to peddle to you his tale of rickshaw riding woe in London.
