Issue 2 of ‘This Is The Order’ Magazine. Launch Viewer
For all the drive and passion that man can muster, for all the uncompromising attitude and persistence that defines us, for all the contained energy that boils within, in the absence of flesh, we are only ghosts.
This is the prevailing theme in the second issue of the Relentless magazine. At once beautiful and repulsive, powerful and fragile, flesh is the physical instrument that the artist uses to propel his vision. Just ask Eric Cantona, ‘Le Roi’, the footballing virtuoso who sparked the modern day renaissance of our beautiful game. Here, opening ‘The Flesh Issue’, we drag him away from football and discover a provocateur and paragon of anti-systemic conduct whose beautifully arrogant flair lives far beyond the confines of time - and football.
Alex Wade travels underground into a world of white collar boxing, the Fight Club of the real world, where all you have is the power, fragility and elemental honesty of your own naked flesh. We speak to Chuck Palahniuk, too, the controversial author of Fight Club, explore our own post-industrial romance with technology and the ever-blurring lines between man and machine, and get round the table with volatile punk outfit, The Gallows.
Featuring Eric Cantona, Chuck Palahniuk, a graphic novel on Bernini, Gallows, Sam Smart, Tyler Chorlton, Lewis Crathern, Sunny Garcia, The Real Fight Club, Parkour in London and much, much more.
Relentless Artists Sam Smart, Tyler Chorlton and Lewis Crathern make an appearance, and there are features on, amongst other things, arctic adventurer Ben Saunders, Edgar Allan Poe, Sunny Garcia, Casanova and parkour in London. We close, of course, with the customary installment in our graphic novel series, a twisted biopic of Gian Lorenzo Bernini, the Roman sculptor in whose hands stone, as if by miracle, became flesh.
