Thank you to everyone that turned out for my Private View. I feel there were a lot of unfinished conversations as I tried to speak to everybody. Thanks also to Leslie from the Brixton Bugle for this review. Top that off with a couple of sales and I think that was a successful evening.

Just over 2.5 hours to hang 18 paintings. One useless spirit level and some unplanned for cable lengths but we got there. Might look a little wonky in parts [if you look too hard] but it'll be fine. Just need Brixton Brewery to get their delivery here on time for the drinks on Thursday evening now! One of the quirks of having an exhibition in a library space is you may have to share the room at times. Opening day is one of those times. There will be a bazaar being held on the 14th, so if you visit you might also pick up a bargain of some sort. So I won't be invigilating tomorrow as I will only get in the way.

As far as artwork is concerned all pieces are finished apart from varnishing and the addition of D-rings. I am currently focused on the admin side of things. Prepping my press release, some explanatory sheets for the gallery, an Eventbrite link for the Private View, Instagram posts and reels and this poster. If I have time I'd like to get an additional page for the event up on this site too.. Then it will just be a matter of getting the drinks in for the 15th and hoping somebody shows up.

I am currently frantically working towards my first solo show of paintings, to be held at Brixton Tate Library from September 14th - 25th, entitled Dante's Car Park. It will consist of the nine paintings I have/am making representing the 9 Circles of Hell supported by the 9 smaller works in my "Ugly Beautiful" series [that may get a better name before the show opens]. I hope to also include my Brixton Art Prize shortlisted "Where We Used to Live".. There will be a Private View on the evening of the 15th.

I'm Happy to say that my painting, [In The City] It's Hard To Be Alone sold at the weekend at the Townhouse Summer Open in Spitalfields
