Pleasurance

Rupert Mallin is presenting 'Pleasurance' at the Arts Factory in Norwich (Hall Road) during the week 18th - 26th October (see www.mallin.blogspot.com). The event features poetry, film, painting and sculptor, with a question - what happened to modernism?

Five

This show is part of the Great Yarmouth International Festival 'Out There' taking place over the last week in October (see www.seachangearts.co.uk), and celebrates some of the artists who have studios in the heart of Great Yarmouth and have exhibited abroad, including myself, John Kiki, Bruer Tidman, Katarzyna Coleman and Emrys Parry.

Walk On

WALK ON!
An exhibition of recent work based on drawings made in sketchbooks over the last two years. Figures are on the move, whether pursuing or fleeing, in hope, in fear or in celebration. The theme is explored in various combinations of crayon, ink, pastel, watercolour, gouache, card, collage: the urge is to find animation not style, expression rather than aesthetic status.

“Walk On” is the title of a blues song written and performed by Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry on an album I purchased when still at school. “Keep on walking!” the duo call to each other, if only to promote a buoyant spirit on the restless road, for there is no given destination.

Romance

In Flux: A Pleasant Interlude IV has been accepted for the Romance exhibition at the Kowalsky Gallery, 33 Great Sutton Street, London EC1V ODX. The exhibition is curated by the Design and Artists Copyright Society and runs from 2nd April to 6th June.
