Nancy Victor Gallery – Opening Party

Thank you to everyone that managed to make it last night to the opening party for my first solo show, 'Found Memories', at the Nancy Victor Gallery in Fitzrovia, London. The turn out was fantastic and it was lovely to see so many familiar faces (some that I'd not seen for years) and to get to meet and chat to loads of new ones. 


I'd also like to thank the staff of Nancy Victor, especially Rachael Hill for her hard work in organising the show - and photographer, Rosie Mayell, for taking all these great photos on the night. Okay I'll leave it at that before it starts to sound like an Academy Awards acceptance speech. 



In the exhibition I'm showing twenty sculptures (ranging in size from around 25 cm to 2 metres tall) and one new screen print, 'Morphed Components'. 




And to give a bit of an insight into the thought processes that go into the creation of my sculptures I've collaged a section of one of the gallery walls with scans of pages from some of my sketchbooks.




A lot of the work in the show has either been made in the last 12 months (with one of them having been completed three days before the opening) or were created a few years ago but not been exhibited before. So for anyone that's familiar with my work there should be something new to look at. 

 

For those of you that wanted to come but couldn't make it, don't worry as we'll be having another late opening (till 9pm) on Thursday 28th Feb as part of the Fitzrovia Lates. As it's the last Thursday of the month most of the other art galleries in the area will also be opening their doors late so if you're around on the 28th please feel free to pop along and join us for a cheeky after work drink and chin-wag.
