Group show at Hospital Club


Second on the list for Thursday 13th saw us at a special opening of a group show on the ground floor of the gallery of Hospital Club. Another fantastic show hosted by Factory Project. Some truly outstanding work by some gifted artists, most of whom were in attendance on the night.

This was my fav piece; Untitled 
(part of a series of 5 post-London riot paintings) 
in oil on hi-viz reflective material by Cosmo Sarson 

The girls pose infront of Cosmos' series
Natalie's fav peice was by Jewel, but was unable to photograph it 
due to its reflective surface and full-on lighting

An awesome painting made to appear as a security mirror. 
Unsure who the artist was, but it was so current that all the paintings 
in the pic were in perfect mirror position on the walls reflected 

Jen's fav piece by uber-talented Fin DAC

The gallery was full of artists, critics and punters

Dale Grimshaw - Semi-detached opening


(click on image to enlarge) 

Went to the opening of the Dale Grimshaw show Semi-detached at Signal Gallery in Shoreditch on 6th Nov. Wonderful start to a night of first thursday madness with the usual suspects. Got to meet up with Dale and have a complimentary print signed by him while we chatted.

I admire Dales print as he signs it for me 

The exhibition was pretty dark, covering his early years growing up with an abusive father, but the art was spectacular, and Dale is a real skillsman. Much thanks to Dale, Signal and firstthursdays.
