The Skin I’m In – Guest artists

Hey folks!

I’ve finalized my guest list for my new Summer Show, The Skin I’m In, which opens  at The Crypt Gallery (@ St Pancras Church) this August. I’m so excited as this is bound to be a truly stupendous exhibition! See for yourself below:

Painters:

– Agnes Eve: will be showing her wonderful strong yet intimate, semi-abstract landscapes – ‘The substratum for my paintings comes from Nature. Nature takes the leadership in creating. It is a constant, unstoppable process of formation within creation and has been progressing since the Big Bang. My role is to extract it from the whole and transfer it to my work.” (www.agneseve.com)

– Jo Wilmot: Presents all new oils based on concepts of glamour – “I’m interested in the way shiny newness becomes tarnished, in how fast a longed for item or experience switches from desirable to bland. We live in a culture of glossy images, objects and items and we are led to believe that the next purchase or cocktail will make us complete.” (www.jowilmot.com)

Installation :

– Eugene Ankomah: Will be re-creating an installation and video based on a previous performance, ‘Tribal Dance’ – “My work often mixes cultural imagery and symbolism from my African background coupled with images from popular culture combined with experimental ways of approaching my various themes I aim to comment socially, politically, culturally, emotionally and personally. I reveal to hide and hide to expose.” (www.myspace.co.uk/uegeneankomah)

Yours Truly,

Charlie Pi

The Skin I’m In is Charlie Pi’s new exhibition since last year’s successful  summer show @ St Pancras Church. Charlie Pi returns this year to The Crypt Gallery with a series of large works on paper which take  the form of children’s nursery rhyme illustration, plans, sketches, storyboards, illustrations, comics and text made large. As Charlie says, ‘Not precursors but finished works in their own right”. Indeed, using paper as a free space to examine both theme and the process of illustration has taken Charlie’s signature baroque paintings to another dimension where iconographies of beautiful young black men have become a mixture of mixed gendered subjects set in multi-image  polyptich.
