The Master & Margarita
and Further Corruptions
by Zosia Gibbs
Opening night thursday 7th March 6pm-9pm
Exhibition runs from 7th March - 2nd April 2013
The Master
& Margarita and Further Corruptions.
Character
studies of the great novel by Mikhail Bulgakov, with consequent offshoots of
other imaginings.
Set in 1930's Moscow, The
Master & Margarita hosts a parade of agitated characters, all of whom
Zosienka intends to depict over time like the cast in a curtain call. Exhibited
here is an assortment of significant and inferior players assembled on paper,
canvas and found objects, and strongly informed by Bulgakov’s amusing
descriptions.
Further Corruptions are stills from the Zosienka-subconscious
picture show. Digitally reproduced pencil and ink drawings of fictitious
animals and outsiders.
The Absent Moment
by Alistair Redding
Opening night thursday 7th Feb 6pm-9pm
Exhibition runs from 7th Feb - 5th March 2013
With this collection of images, Alistair Redding isolates some of our society's most prosaic events, capturing people going about their everyday lives. These photographs show how though we are always surrounded by other individuals in a city, we are essentially alone in our experience. Caught by the camera are moments spent on the street shopping, talking, running, walking. These easily forgotten times, which constitute much of our lives, are a root into who and what we are. A conscious celebration of banality, charged with feeling for the photographs' fleeting subjects.

A Solo Exhibition by HANNAH
Edible Material
Private View Thursday 5th October 6-9pm
Exhibition runs 5th October - 30th October
In this body of work HANNAH departs from her usual two-dimensional paintings to embrace the third dimension. HANNAH's approach provides new life for abandoned wooden objects, using them as canvases in a new context. She finds satisfaction in reviving the overlooked beauty of these discarded objects, presenting them once again to the world. Bold and energetic strokes are painted onto wood, complimenting and exposing the qualities of the original material. HANNAH's recognisable visual language is created through the building up and sanding down of layers of animated brush strokes, juxtaposing prominent and existing patterns and forms, creating a playful and entertaining tribute to food.

The Big Fright
The Big Fright
Private View Thursday 7th June 6pm-9pm
Exhibition runs 7th June - 3rd July
A Major Depressive Episode, a long standing passion for Monet, antidepressants and a curious inability to speak.
Mr Michele Rasore explores in a series of oil paintings the unlikely
ties between the above elements in a Semi - Scientific Experiment.
You will witness a vaguely Poirotesque journey in the mind of a man lost for words but with a rather unsavoury appetite for colour.
The 4 paintings attempt to track moods, medication efficacy and interesting side effects over a period of 3 to 4 months. You will be given enough information to become either a pharmacist or an out of control pseudo painter, your choice!

The Lost Children
The Lost Children
Making delicate drawings, she concerns herself with the tangent ideas on
lightness and nature of living. Her works exist to bear neither issues
of this society nor affirmation of philosophical ideologies; in turn she
hopes her works carry a calmness and reminders of things that are
existing quietly, like the stars and the whales.

Animal Tokens
Fell on Good Soil
Hyesoo was born in a small town called Cheonan, in her childhood memory Cheonan had vast fields and rich forests. As she grew up she witnessed new buildings and tube lines claiming landscapes which caused rapid changes in the environment and people's living customs. This surreal experience later influenced her curiosity and drew her attention to various urban landscapes in cities and stories behind them.
Hyesoo's art practice is concerned with the abstract voice of everyday objects, furniture, urban landscape, architecture, and how these elements express the cultural and historical backgrounds of their origin.
In her work, Hyesoo brings out nostalgia marked by its ongoing utopian dream, reviewing the “future of the past".
Her work is influenced by Memphis furniture and the Art Deco movement. Hyesoo's biggest influence is Constructivist architecture in Russia between the 20’s and 50’s. It is this ambitious urban landscape, this 'utopian dream', that established the birth of Communism. She seeks the practical impact on urban environment by social movement, this is crucial in informing her work.
Each title of her works represents the status of her mind and faith in God. Hyesoo became a Christian and accepted Jesus Christ as her saviour in 2009, Jesus helped her to find hope and value in her life, this became the turning point of her career as an artist. When word of God fell on good soil, it yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some a hundred.
Hyesoo You received her BA in 2009 from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, she is currently studying her MA at Chelsea College of Art and Design and has been awarded the Cecil Lewis Sculpture Scholarship.
