My gift to you this Valentines (as I have love for you) is an invite to a solo exhibition of fresh art works and the chance to meet Lacy Marilyn in the flesh next week…she’s literally a work of art, literally…
This is all possible thanks to the lovely team at Gramercy Park Studios, with whom i’ve shown works with before, and only recently decided to to put on a mini-show for you, a chance to connect & engage in a great, intimate space in a great Central London location…
I’m definitely getting the bug of showing in non-gallery venues now, as all that really matters is a diverse group of people get to see the works instead of the same ‘ol arty lot, plus alternate venues tend to have way more character too, which is nice…
Soooo, this will be a one day evening event only and RSVP essential to: pins.show@gmail.com
Met the super lovely (way more prettier in person) FKA Twigs last week during the launch of her Mini Zine with Nike at Nike Town…
Have to say I’m a big fan of the ‘Do You Believe In More’ campaign between these two, not just because of the art direction / sick visuals which you must’ve seen blasted out across London, but because Nike needed something to ‘fresh up’ the brand which was getting abit too, well, boring…and along comes FKA with bags of creative energy using the platform to celebrate diversity and individuality, bringing a unique flavour to the Nike brand, BOOMness!…
Studio settings in the former HQ building of The Guardian newspaper in Farringdon, where I spent just over a year building the body of work for my current #NoFaceLikePhone exhibition at DigitasLBi. The growth as an artist that took shape here was a key building block to finding my personal work flow and refining my aesthetic even more. It was a year of not knowing what was gonna come from it but knowing I was building something of value, from an honest place, staying true to the vision I sort of had but didn’t, but then it worked out cos I believed in it, if that makes sense…so in a nutshell, get out your comfort zones, find your process, explore ideas and share your greatness by any means #PushItNeverStop
Hope you had a lovely Xmas and your bellies are packed out for the entire week…
Thought i’d share some images so far from the #NoFaceLikePhone exhibition currently on a DigitasLBi up in Brick Lane…
Have to say i’m appreciating the space even more as time goes on, I mean it oozes character, great mesh-like fencing, nice floor separation, the lighting could be a touch better but hey, it aint a gallery, and feel the main ‘chill out’ area with colour co-ordinated, moveable sofa blocks are mad comfy-ish…great for in-depth, mellowed to-the-max convos, which i’ve found enjoyable…
So the space will remain open to visit this week (normal working hours/times of 9am-5pm), closed over NY weekend, then back to normal from 3rd January til 22nd, i’ll be down every weekend 12-6pm from then too, so feel free to whizz over and say ello 🙂
