Submissions
Further Updates from SW2
Well, I never got around to submitting any works on paper to the Blue Shop Cottage but I have submitted a work for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and I am working on the piece below for the Townhouse Summer Open. It could be becoming a tradition for me to submit a colourful geometric abstract to the Spitalfields annual show.
It’s only a month until my Shoreditch Boxpark pop-up with Martyn Woods opens it doors and I’ve yet to start work on the series. I want to complete for that. They will also be colourful geometric works. It is almost Spring after all. I hope to have 18 pieces ranging from 6x6” to 20x20”square boards which I am collectively referring to, although tentatively at the moment, as Kleptiks.
Next week I am, somewhat out of character, doing some research for the Liminal Life works that I need to produce for May’s Sprout solo show. I initially intended to press wild flowers [weeds actually] into cement, or similar, to include in the paintings, without thinking that most of them probably won’t yet be in bloom. So, I’m taking a walk along the Thames from Grays to Rainham, where there is a wealth of wildlife around the industrial areas along with pylons, the A13 flying over the marshes and big open skies. Nothing if not liminal!
With the planned move to Cornwall still in the pipeline I have decided that my Woodfield show in June/July will be selection of older works, of which there are quite a few here, under the title of Everything Must Go!
As I may or may not have mentioned before, I won’t be at this years Urban Art Brixton weekend due to the fact that I will be at Blur’s Wembley Stadium gig on the Saturday and it coincides with my Woodfield show where, potentially, all of my work will be. Somewhere in between preparing for these three events I’ve got to squeeze some decorating in too.
