Art at Far Rockaway

 The bottles I have been painting are all finished, packaged up and sent off to the Far Rockaway Restaurant in Curtain Road, Shoreditch London which is due to open shortly.

I'm looking forward to seeing them all together as I  did not have a space large enough to display them. I'm also looking forward to seeing the other great art that has been commissioned for the restaurant with artists like David Bray, Mark Powell, Wreckage International, Rugman, Snub, Guy Denning, Barry Bish, Ben Oakley and many more.  Far Rockaway is shaping up to be the art event of the year.

Mardy

Friday night was the private view for Rowan Newton and Carne Griffiths' joint show called "Mardy" at the Ben Oakley Gallery.  All the work features one model as their subject represented in their own individual style.

                           
  
The Gallery was overflowing with collectors, artists and friends of the Gallery who went on to socialise  until early morning.

A joint limited edition print featured a side by side portrait by each artist making it possible to have both  Carne and Rowan's work in one picture. For more information and image see the  Ben Oakley Gallery website Show runs until the 22nd September 2013.

                                     

Sparrow in the B.O.G.

While looking after the Ben Oakley Gallery a couple of Sundays ago I had time to make a very short movie of one of my sparrow paintings on the very distinctive gallery walls.
