December Bazaar

The Portico Gallery will be hosting a Bazaar as part of the December FEAST in West Norwood. I’ll be there with a bunch of prints and paintings, in the warm and the dry with loads of other arts, crafts and vintage stalls.

 

Lambeth Open

For years I cycled past the Portico Gallery on Knights Hill on my way to work at ATD Fourth World in Camberwell. This October I will be stopping getting off the bike and heading into the gallery to join 40+ other South London artists in displaying our work.

The event at Portico is only one of many events around Lambeth on the first weekend in October, check out the Lambeth Open website for details of all the open studios across the borough and make a full weekend of art exploration.

Lambeth Open @ Portico Gallery

The Lambeth Open is coming up fast and it’s keeping me busy preparing some new paintings for the event as well as sorting out prints and cards. Again I plan to take a mix of Croydon and non Croydon paintings including a couple of new paintings inspired by this year’s rainy London Pride.

I’m rely looking forward to showing in a new venue and meeting lots of new artists. The work showing on the online gallery is wonderful in its variety always a good sign in my opinion.  One of the great things about taking part in events like this is to meet all the other artists and find out how they approach their work.

I’m a bit sad though to be missing the chance of visiting all the studios which will also be open during the weekend. Peeking into someone else’s work space is always good for chatting about techniques and materials.

I will be showing at the Portico Gallery in West Norwood, 4-5th October 10am-6pm alongside a whole host of other exciting artists   http://www.lambethopen.com/portico-lower-gallery/
