‘Say Hello’ Fri 15th Nov 2024 David Bray New Drawings….. there comes a time in everyone’s life where we’re told by our mothers to “get rid of those blessed toys! they’ve been cluttering up the place rent free for over 40 years!!”Sad though this is, there’s only one way to handle the process Bray recalls, draw all of them, first starting with the Smurfs and then the rest of the other weird 70’s toys & figures. Turning a moment of loss into yet another creative path.  Treat them all as sitters for a series of portraits, like a rogue’s gallery & create a brand-new collection. Using bright primary-coloured pencils immediately gave the drawings a naive innocence & fed back into the vibrancy of the childhood toys.  

The title of the show is SAY HELLO. A throwaway comment on the Smurfs and toys, ‘say hello to my little friend’ said in an Al Pacino way. “I’ve drawn all my little friends from when I was young.”  David Bray‘SAY HELLO’New drawings by David Bray
