'An exhibition focusing on two artists' response to aspects of London's landscape. Starting from observed drawings both artists have then developed a series of prints.
Clare has created composite images based on views visible both from her window and from near her home. She has looked at both the organic and the man made, playing with different elements  - such as a bridge or a tree - and combining them into new images.

Pippa has used drawings made on Crossrail construction sites as the starting point for this exhibition.
From these drawings she has made a series of monoprints that explore the strange forms and textures found within these temporary urban landscapes.'


Jonathan Farr Winner of Moving Image Prize at RWA

Jonathan Farr was recently awarded the Moving Image Prize at the Royal West of England Academy, in Bristol, for his stop motion animation 'Gold Hat' which he made for the singer Mary Hampton. You can view the animation on Mary Hampton's website.

Details of the exhibition on the New Contemporaries' website.
Melissa was also included in the Telegraph's article on the exhibition, with her painting 'Joseph and the Technicolour Bankers' being the covering image.

'Many reference the economic crash directly: Marco Godoy’s choral video work “Claiming the Echo” (2012) explores the aftermath of the financial crisis in Spain. A choir sings protest slogans that are usually sung at demonstrations in Spain, adapted into a musical piece, using the composer Henry Purcell's scores. And Melissa Kime alludes to it more playfully in her painting “Technicolour Joseph and The Amazing City Bankers” (2013). Meanwhile, Simon Senn’s films deal with human behaviour and patterns of interaction. His film "Just Let Go" sets up the intriguing proposition of dealing with the financial crisis through the creation of filmed cathartic experiences that aim to release anxiety.'

MERCER CHANCE Gallery Opening

You are warmly invited to the launch night. Friday 24th October, 6.30 - 10pm. Mercer Chance, 253 Hoxton Street, London, N1 5LG. No need to RSVP, open invitation.

'We met whilst on the post-graduate programme at The Prince's Drawing School in 2012, and have spent the intervening period painting and printmaking from our live/work space in Hackney Wick. In August this year we found this exciting space in Hoxton and jumped at the opportunity to create a large bright space in which to work.
We decided to open the space as a gallery to
provide a public platform for our work, and to support our peers; a diverse range of emerging artists whose work is built on a foundation of observation, contemplation and practiced use of their medium . We want to promote a kind of image-making that is personal, poetic, and emerges from an artist's sensual and intellectual reckoning with the world.
We will be showing predominantly oil painting, printmaking and drawing, with occasional forays into the worlds of sculpture, film and installation.
Michael Chance is a painter, printmaker and draughtsman whose work is poetic and philosophical, fascinated by contemporary environmentalism and advances in exoplanetary science. Scratched, misted windows and powerful glimpses of landscape meet the scarred surfaces and topography of far-away alien worlds and strange accumulations of future ruins. 
Chance gained a first class degree in Popular Music at Liverpool University, followed by a post-graduate diploma in Drawing at The Prince’s Drawing School, London.
Rachel Mercer is a painter and draughtsman who seeks ‘moments of being’; those rare occurrences of deep harmony between self and nature. Sensitively observing the forms and patterns of natural growth opens a window to the appreciation of true beauty; that which is yielding, soft and adaptive. Her work breathes, permeated by a quiet meditative mood, which stands in opposition to the noise, carelessness and bluster of modern society. 
Mercer completed her BA in Fine Art (first class) at Cardiff School of Art & Design, followed by a post-graduate diploma in Drawing at The Prince’s Drawing School, London.

'One of my studio mates is moving out of our studio in Bermondsey in November and myself and George Colley (who also did the drawing year) are on the lookout for someone to fill the space. 

It is rather short term as the studio block will be turned into flats next year so we will only have the space till March 2015 but it is a very nice, large space with plenty of natural light  and nice views over South-East London. It is very close to Bermondsey Street and not far from London Bridge or Bermondsey Stations. The rent is about £120 per month and will be shared with George and myself - both drawing year alumni.'

Daniel MacCarthey

Dan MacCarthy is setting off on a pilgrimage of sorts to Santiago de Compestela. Starting from a Marina in Ipswich, he will sail to the city of Gijon with three others and from there make his way, as much as possible on foot to the pilgrimage city. He will be keeping a drawing journal of the walk which he will upload upon its completion. Once he has left the city of Santiago de Compostela, he will return by boat from Bilbao to Brittany and from there by more conventional transport back to the UK. In order to finance this trip he has made a series of small paintings and prints. These can be found on his website: http://danielmaccarthy.tumblr.com/
If you would like to help him on his way and buy something please email him at daniellouismaccarthy (at) gmail.com and he will remove the image from the gallery. This may not occur until he disembarks in Gijon or elsewhere along the route. The work will be delivered or posted to you as soon as he returns in September.

Kathryn Maple wins Sunday Times Watercolour Competition 2014

Congratulations to Kathryn who has won First Prize in the Sunday Times Watercolour Competition 2014. 
Louis Wise of the Sunday Times writes that "Maple’s astonishing work looks as if it was conceived in the Deep South, but Fat Boy’s is, in fact, a cafe right by where she works, in Trinity Buoy Wharf, far out in east London. She even has lunch there sometimes. Maple, from Maidstone, Kent, is fond of the “odd and out of place in life”, and this slice of Americana in E14 fits the bill. The work is large enough (116cm x 86cm), but small by her standards; she builds each painting up by layering over time and, as this picture shows, is happy to use watercolours in a variety of ways."

15 - 20 September 2014
Mall Galleries, The Mall, London, SW1
Open 10am-5pm daily, free entry

A selection of the 2014 exhibition will be shown in sponsor Smith & Williamson's offices throughout the UK from September 2014 to January 2015.

Georgina Sleap looking for a studio

Georgie Sleap misssleap@hotmail.co.uk is hunting for a studio space - perhaps you or someone you know may be able to help?

"I'm looking for a room that is: 
Around 180ft. 
In south London, or not too far north of river. I live Herne Hill and work in Wimbledon, so way out east is far from ideal. 
As cheap as possible, obviously. I can't pay more than around 170 a month. 
I will have to move by mid October. 

I am tidy in my work habits but use materials which are messy: powder pigment and pourable rubber have left my current floor covered in black splodges with a permagreen tinge, so I need four walls round me, but am not fussy about what they are made of. I'm used to cold studios and am not super fussed about hot and cold running Internet. Somewhere on the ground floor would be ideal. A decent lift or at least wide stairs would be fine too. 


I'd be really grateful if you could let me know of anything that springs to mind. Even if it's a bit much or a bit far, is available now  or not till November, it would be great to get a sense of what's around."
