BEN OAKLEY
‘I COULD HAVE BEEN A NOBODY’
5th October - 21st October 2012
This collection is a time slice, with traces of Oakleys’ previous incarnations, from Film to Mosaics, Aerosol to Acrylics including the reuse of collectables that are reborn as Modern object D’art with a huge wedge of irony and black humour.
In his larger paintings Oakley confidently overlays and repeats shapes using strong colours that create an up lifting, engaging and atmospheric feeling. There is a uniformity hidden within the chaos that keeps the viewer comfortably engaged.
JO PEEL
'IN THE MEAN TIME'
15th JUNE - 1st JULY 2012
Jo Peel is a One Girl Wonder, as honest as the day is long, painting excactly what is infront of her. Not sanitising or removing street furniture/Graffitti or the reality of City Life. The streets of London she paints are what we really see in every day life. Documenting London Changing, London Lost & London Evolving, each painting has its own distinctive character, a Modern Historic Masterpiece captured in Jo's unique urban style.
RAY RICHARDSON
'LONDON'S TOP DOG
