Elements Part 2 is an exhibition of selected artists working in a variety of media and scale concerned with the elements of wind, fire, water and alchemy; the universe in part or whole, reflected, transformed and depicted. As above, so below weaves narratives into the two level framework of things; disturbance v tranquility, surface v depth, division v the whole - an exciting and diverse range of artworks celebrating the natural world and our place within it.

I am taking part in the Salon des Refusés 2015 Exhibition
Happenstance Art & Framing Gallery in association with London Art Eventsbrings you Salon des Refusés 2015, the annual exhibition of artwork 'refusés' from the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. Inspired by the 1870s Paris Salon that championed Impressionists such as Monet, Degas and Manet after their rejection from their national academy this exhibition is, for the fourth year, promoting the artists and genres of the future.
This year Salon des Refusés will take place at the original creative pioneer of the Hackney art scene - [Space] Gallery. SPACE is a gallery steeped in its own history. It was founded by artists Bridget Riley, who actually rejected the Royal Academy and whose Optical Art genre initially suffered the same rejection as Impressionism - Peter Sedgley and Peter Townsend in 1968, at the height of the global creative peak that was the 1960s.
SPACE has lots of it (!) so we are expecting even more RA Refusés than in previous years. We have also invited Street Artists who want to exhibit their work in a gallery to participate in a special Salon d' Art Urbain - this will be the only exhibition to have street/urban art and 'fine' art hanging side by side.
As usual there will be Public Voting to find the people's favourite art work at the Salon, with a prize worth £300 for 1st place donated by Happenstance Framing in association with London Art Events. There will also be a program of Sound Art events curated by Sonica Found Music™ / Sonica FM running for 3 days in the wonderful [Space] Gallery annex.
All in all, it's going to be a truly awesome show that brings art back to the people where it belongs!

The Hereford Art week last September was a great success, this event gave me the opportunity to reach art collectors, people passionate about art and as well as meeting other artists.
H Art artists are opening their doors again to the public calling it a H Art Christmas.
Why not give a piece of art as a present for Christmas instead of socks and scarves?

.... continued on the abstract and the figure
and here is the finished piece. It is a figurative piece within an abstract. I have enjoyed making it I hope you like it too. I do not want to comment on what it means to me and will try not to give a title as I want the viewers to experience the feelings or the moods that the painting evoke in them.
On the abstract and the figure
A work in progress, showing close ups detail of a figurative abstract painting. Keep reading as next blog will reveal the whole picture. Thank you.
Digital Artwork
I have been experimenting and getting accustomed to my I Pad Art Rage software and whilst on holiday I sketched and worked on these pieces. I think they invoke reflection from the viewer as their personal feeling can give life to these images. I will be printing these work available at my Open Studio week in September (6th to 14th).
