It has been thankfully quite hectic since my last blog, completing two commissions and have earned a further four, My First Exhibition for 2010 is now confirmed for September October at Dickie Doodles, the now premier artists exhibition centre following the closure of the warehouse in the Brewery arts.
Currently I awaiting further information and the exhibition proposals ( dont you just hate having the red tape that goes with life) which are essential before either I can make final application, or, and more importantly, I have ticked all the boxes for the Gallery to accept me, The Biscuit Factory in Newcastle, my first out of county show.
For the Local Exhibiton I am creating a series of local scenes though not so much with the postcard images of landscapes and buildings but concentrating upon the fantastic light that filters and around the 'auld grey town', the light that, for me, transforms the grey into a myriad of almost magical colours.
For the Biscuit I entend to stick with this study though producing a more contemporary feel, still using the light but presenting it in a way not disimilar to Mondrians graphical works, unlike Mondrians love of the primary colours that dominated his later works I shall be concentrating upon Black white and grey, each with a hint of something that I see which transforms those colours.
The third exhibition is as yet awaiting too much to even make a greater note of at this time.
For those of you who have notices some strange black squares at the top of the page, one marked with play, these are in place for a future addition to the blog, if indeed the blog is able to take it, that being a live 24/7 streaming video into the studio to observe my workings, it is as yet not functioning whilst I await the arrival of someone, either to continue and finish what I have started or to inform me that it is all wrong and who will set it up properly for me.
I have had the most excellent feedback from a critic who, so enthralled with a single piece, is currently spreading the word around the local art buyers community to help with the September show and of course, earlier commissions.
Still no images for you all as, if you would remember my earlier note that, until more work is created I am keeping it a little under wraps,,,watch this space...
Until the next Blog,
Peace and Light to you all
