Get the kids out of the room: We're talking about TWODICKS
Okay, so I was meaning to blog about this for a while but wasn't sure if the content would be appropriate, but since it is expected of us to talk about what we like, then I will do so.
So TWODICKS... There's only a few actual facts I can provide about them as they aren't very informative in their social media pages, I'm not even sure how they define themselves as- group of artists, a brand or a studio, but they're work speaks for them. And it is pretty difficult to find out what kind of masterminds are behind this, or as matter of fact how many of them. All I know is that they are situated in Vilnius, Lithuania (of course). Mainly, TWODICKS profile consists of photography, but there are a range of videos, promos and music clips they've done as well.
To be fair, I'm not that much bothered about the individuals behind this. All I know is they produce really great and raw work.

The reason my attention is brought to they're work is because it represents the unpolished, uncensored, irresponsible and impure youth of today. Let's face it- it is pretty close to the truth. Nowadays youth is more exposed to the sexual, raw and violent nature of these glorified animals that we like to call humans. Maybe TWODICKS might not take it that far, but they certainly overstep the boundaries in exploring the 21st century youth. I am pretty certain that the conveyed subject by TWODICKS is relevant not only to the Eastern Europe region, but judging from what I've seen here in the U.K. it suits the peers here as well. What I like the most in they're work is the unconventional approach to image whether it's moving or not. They're pretty consistent with their color palette and style. Event though most of they're work is a bit hectic they still manage to bring this unique aesthetic to the table.
