Art Below

Thanks to everyone who came along to see my work at Art Below's exhibition, Art of Angel, at Candid Arts Trust in London at the weekend! I know it's a busy time of year, and I appreciate your support.

My poster from the show is now being displayed on the London Underground at Angel Tube station concourse (Islington) until 6th February 2012 - it's part of an exhibition that is transforming the station into a public art gallery.

I'll post some pics of the artwork in situ in my next blog. In the meantime, here is my poster for the show. Hope you like it!

Art/Converters!

19th to 29th January 2012

Shoreditch gallery studio1.1 are starting 2012 with a major fundraising initiative. They've asked artists from past and future shows to donate work (of any value) which can be sold for the simple one-size-fits-all sum of £200. The show will be an opportunity to buy truly affordable art from truly interesting artists. And at the same time of course your purchase will gain the added value of having contributed to the continued survival of a space that lives for and believes in the artists it shows.

Amongst those Art/Converting so far and in no particular order are:

LAURA MORRISON, MARCUS COPE, PAUL SAVAGE, STEPHANIE MORAN, ANNIE KEVANS, KATE LYDDON, ROSS WALKER, VANESSA JACKSON, JOHN DOUGILL, CRAIG ANDREWS, SACHA CRADDOCK, GILL ORD, RALPH DOREY, JOSHUA RAFFELL, ROBIN SEIR, RON MEERBEEK, DAVID SMALL, KAY WALSH, SARAH McNULTY, JEFFORD HORRIGAN, WILL CRUICKSHANK, GLEN WILD, DAMIAN GRIFFITHS, WILLIAM STEIN, AMANDA BENSON, CLARE PRICE, DAVID BEN WHITE, JEREMY WILLETT, HOWARD DYKE, ALAN MAGEE, TOM CHAMBERLAIN, CHRISTOPHER BOND, JOHN SUMMERS, STUART BARNES, JORDAN McKENZIE, ANNA BOGGON, JUSTIN EAGLE, STEPHEN HARWOOD, JOHN TINEY, DANIEL DEVLIN, RICHARD BATEMAN, RICHARD DUCKER, DAVID MICHEAUD, JAMES RYAN, OLIVER BANCROFT, JULIE UMERLE, DAI ROBERTS...

Art of Angel

First show of 2012

Getting the New Year off to a great start! From 24th January to 6th February I will be exhibiting with Art Below in their latest project, 'Art of Angel'. One of my paintings will be exhibited as a poster in a show at Angel Underground, Islington, along with selected artists including Jonny Briggs (Saatchi New Sensations winner), Johan Andersson (BP Portrait Award finalist), Sarah Maples (Channel Four's "4 New Sensations" winner) and artist/designer Julie Verhoeven.

Organised to coincide with the London Art Fair, 'Art of Angel' will occupy the length of the concourse at Angel Underground, transforming the walkway into a public gallery space. Not only will the exhibition be available to the many London commuters, but also to the thousands of visitors making their way to the London Art Fair.

'Art of Angel' will also be exhibiting at Candid Arts Trust, situated just behind Angel Underground, from 19th to 22nd January 2012.

More details to follow shortly.

It's brrrrrr!!

So cold in the studio these days. Winter is always tough. Concrete floors and walls; flat roof; wind whistling through the windows. Luckily the studio's all shored up this year - I had the leaks from the ceiling patched up in the summer so it's more or less watertight (till the next flood!)

Still, it's not the easiest of environments to paint in at this time of year, so I'm working at home when it just gets too difficult. Not that I envy the office workers in their overheated offices, in shirtsleeves all year through. But I must admit that I wouldn't mind a slightly less inhospitable working climate in the winter months. I need a new pair of thermals...

Parsons Alumni at Art Basel Miami Beach

I'm one of thirty-three alumni who have been selected for this exhibition. It takes place during the week of 'Art Basel Miami Beach'. The exhibition is a virtual show, where images of our work will be projected onto the walls of Trendy Studio on 3rd December 2011.

'Art Basel Miami Beach' runs from December 1st - 4th, 2011, and is the most important art show in the United States - a cultural and social highlight for the Americas.

Glad to be given this opportunity. Sounds fun and very, very cool!! If you're in Miami for Art Basel, please drop by.
