Heavy Sky over the Cumbrian Mountains,  40,6 cm x 30,5 cm I'm a new Associate Member of FPS and have met a few of you during our exhibition at the Menier Gallery last December. A selection of my paintings will be on show at the following exhibition and this would be a great opportunity to meet you and to show you more of my work. Trinity Buoy Wharf, where the exhibition takes place, is a vibrant artists' area and well worth a visit. If you can make it to the show, please introduce yourselves. I will be at the private view on the  7th May  and at the exhibition for most of the  8th May ; if you think you might visit the show on the 8th, it might be an idea to email me beforehand with a rough indication of the time when you think you might be coming. You are very welcome to bring friends along and to invite others who might be interested in the event. You are warmly invited to Breathe,   a group e xhibition,  organised by Whitepeaks Fine Art Gallery

A WISH AND A KISS OF SPRING Creating a symbol for art and regeneration

Image
Easter weekend in Cricklewood saw a thousand wishes rise into the sky. The event curated by artist Kevin Vincenzo Keating surprised residents with an installation of a ten-foot wish bone. Kevin, along with his art group, Creative Cricklewood attracted great public and media interest in an event that invited the community along to make wishes and join in other artistic events.   The event called  A Wish and a Kiss of Spring   was a celebration of spring and was dedicated to artists and the community who continue to make their area a more inspirational place.   kevin asked people who were making a wish, to pause and contemplate then ask themselves what was the wish they had deepest in their hearts.

The subsequent spill and clean up operation devastated ecosystems, wrecked the health and livelihoods of communities and brought the company within days of bankruptcy. To mark the anniversary and honour the victims Platform is releasing an updated version of the Tate Modern alternative audio guide which takes issue with BP’s controversial sponsorship of Tate galleries. As Archbishop Desmond Tutu calls for an Apartheid-style boycott movement against fossil fuel companies and their funders in order to tackle climate change, Tate’s relationship with BP is becoming increasingly untenable.
