FIRST OF TWO WEEKENDS WHEN ARTISTS FROM MANY PLACES INCLUDING ARGENTINA & CZECH REPUBLIC PLUS - CLOSER TO HOME - ESSEX, EXHIBIT IN SECOND PUTNEY "OPEN STUDIOS" EVENT
You are invited to come along to the second full day of one of several exhibitions in the Putney, London SW15 area. Let us look at five artists exhibiting: Ariadna Capasso, Eva Dumpling, Zoe Gilmore, Anny Han and Phelim Kelly. The event is all part of the second annual Putney "Open Studios" event. One of this year's group exhibitions - given the name AEZAP, after the initials of the first names of the artists participating - takes place over two weekends, the last in May and the first in June, as well as on the evening of the middle Wednesday. "International" is one of the keywords that can be applied to this group, as each comes from a different country: Argentina and Czech Republic, to name a few... plus - closer to home - Essex. First, let us look at the works produced by Ariadna, from Argentina. Ariadna's exhibits, in her own words, feature, 'Works on video, La Conquista, 10 minute video in collaboration with Damian Keller (sound), Amazon Melodie, 1.min 24 sec. in collaboration with Gonzalo Macias (sound). Born in Argentina, lives and works in New York City. Master of Fine Arts, University of Colorado, 2000.' Czech, Eva Dumpling, on the other hand, presents, "Projections Of My Mind" drawings of animals & life.
Essex-born Zoe states, 'I will be displaying recent interpretations of nudes in oils on canvas. Above all I take pleasure in experimenting with different styles and techniques, as my own style is constantly developing. I am inspired by the work of Euan Uglow and Lucien Freud.' Anny is quoted as saying, 'I am going to exhibit some watercolours of landscapes, flowers and a few Chinese characters. I hope you will enjoy them.' Lastly, Phelim - an English language teacher in Putney - presents, "Phrasal Verb Art", on canvases & mirrors. The exhibition takes place today, June 1 2003, as well as on 4, 7 and 8 (hours: 11am-6pm, except for Wednesday which is 6pm-8.30pm). If you want to find out more, come along at any of these times and enjoy the art, in company of most of the artists. Location:... London, SW15.
