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.

                                     

100 Bottles

This is one of a hundred bottles I am spray painting faces on for a window display in a soon to open London restaurant.  It is a really lovely project as the bottles are a mix of shapes, sizes and colours with different labels and tags on them.  Each time I open a new box I find another interesting bottle that I will want to cut a stencil for.  I will post more images and more information on the project as I get further into the work.

Study of an angel

While I'm busy on a new painting I have also been working on a study of an angel.  Using stencils I cut for an earlier picture (the blue angel) I have made a much smaller and lighter version.  This gives me time out from the main work I'm doing at the moment and lets me experiment with colour and ideas.
