October 2015

What a hectic/manic week! On Monday night I dropped off my work at A-side B-side Gallery– Hackney Downs Studios– for the House of Tigers exhibition; leaving Adam, who curated the show, and a few of this other friends to paint the walls (sorry folks!).

Anyway, Thursday’s Private View was amazing! The turn out was incredible and the whole place was buzzing with people admiring the artworks and getting to talk to the other 30 plus artists.

Adam and his friends did a fantastic job of curating the show; everyone’s work really complimented one another as the artworks were all spread out across the space rather than your typical linear layout (see below).

June and I posing next to her artwork!

My friend June Sees was also part of the show and here we both are standing next to her beautiful artwork of a sleeping tiger and rabbit with a lovely bamboo frame.

I had a wonderful evening talking to friends, getting to know the other artists and then we headed off to the pub for a burger. And more beer.

Pretty good night indeed!

House of Tigers will be running until Tuesday 27th October.

Evening all! Hope your week has been filled with lovely things to see and do. I was meant to blog about ‘Covet’ as it was going, however, running a shop takes so much time and preparation that I never managed to do it! Side note about The Hackney Shop: it’s a pop-up retail space available for Hackney residents (or if you work there) and the whole concept behind it is giving creatives the opportunity to showcase their work for free. Yes, for free. As getting any kind of space is so cut-throat and expensive to the eye balls, The Hackney Shop is a not for profit enterprise that allows constant creativity to evolve every week. Also, bringing in local benefits to the community too.

Myself, The Illusive Eye (Chrissy Wallace) and Bilton Conceptual Design (Cris Cold) had the space for a week and whilst we were there, we were opening and closing the shop from 10 until 5pm every day. As the week went on we had a mix of people visiting the shop and, although it was generally quiet in the mornings, there was a fair stream of people coming in during the weekend.

I had a great week chatting to Chrissy about art, dogs, drinking beer and drinking even more beer as the week went on…!

This month I’ve been pretty busy with work and so it’s been great to be able to do shows just to break things up a little bit.

I’m part of ‘House of Tigers’ exhibition at A-Side B-Side Gallery! Super stoked to be part of an awesome show for a great cause, Save Wild Tigers, as well.

The private view will be on Thursday 22nd October and the show will run from the 22nd until the 27th.

More about the show:

House of Tigers- A group exhibition

Curated by Adam Bartlett

Public View: Thursday 22nd October 6-9.30pm

Show Dates: 23-10-2015 – 26-10-2015

A-side B-side Gallery is pleased to present, ‘House of Tigers’ an exhibition curated by Adam Bartlett:

“The show came about through my love of tigers and painting them.  I thought it would be great to raise some money for our stripy friends, curate my first show and provide a platform for many artists who don’t get to show their work out much due to full time jobs etc.  Kind of bringing everyone great and small together, the emphasis is on fun with this show and getting involved in any way you can.”
