Vertigo

This November I was part of a two woman show at the Ben Oakley Gallery with the lovely Kim Tong. The title of the show Vertigo was about moments of unease and uncertainty and how we try to stabilise while in that altered state.

The show was on for two weeks in November and included large and small canvases as well as several fragile glass objects that I painted.  A retro purple glass vase with the spray painted image of an in angel wrapped around it and a murmuration of birds individually painted on transparent paper that overlapped allowing the image of other shapes to blur through.

If you did not get to see the show you can view it on Google Earth by going to 9 Turnpin Lane in Greenwich London and while at street view click on the white arrows that lead you into the Ben Oakley Gallery and look around. You can also go upstairs in the gallery and look at the paintings of all the other artist that show their work there.

New Painting

Finished this painting on canvas a few days ago reworking an old stencil recutting it in places and adding some new parts.  The red is a lot more vibrant then on the screen as there are several spraypaint shades of reds in the lips and rose.  I have put some hand painted detail in the eyes but only there.  Plan to make a few more paintings using these stencils.

Free Art at Dulwich Festival 2015

The last two weekends I have been busy putting out free art in the Dulwich Open House Art Festival. The bottles I put out had my little Ooh! character face painted on them with spray paint and stencil.  Each had a small label telling the finder that they were a free piece of art and if they liked it they should take it home.

I left some in pretty flower beds, others in Dulwich Park, one in a library, one in a graveyard, one at an East Dulwich restaurant and one at the Dulwich picture Gallery.

If you did find one of my bottles I hope you took it home with you and that you enjoy it. 

Little Painted Bottle

One of a set of Little bottles I painted awhile ago. I plan to make some more of these and new work coming for Leadenhall Market in July.

Sclater Street Shoreditch

I have been busy working on some small canvases for a new market that is opening in Shoreditch London. The market is at Sclater Street right next to Shoreditch High Street Station and is open for the first time this Saturday 19th July 2014. I am making small works of art including some painted bottles as I will have a stall to display my work on. Manny Gyumova wrote a wonderful piece about my work on her blog that can be found here http://sclaterstreetstallsblog.com/2014/06/25/yvonne-wayling-2
