Our very own Dave White, is to unveil a new collection of work, in association with limited-edition gallery artrepublic, at The Hospital Club, London in June 2012.
The Natural Selection exhibition will comprise a large-scale installation of oil paintings, works on paper and limited editions that will exclusively reveal White’s new subject matter; an exploration of threatened animal species presented in the artists’s trademark dynamic and kinetically charged aesthetic.
White says of this series of work ‘Natural Selection encompasses the beauty, majesty and magnificence of incredibly rare animals. Their threatened existence hangs in the balance, where natural camouflage is no longer a reliable defence, leaving them vulnerable and exposed. The collection explores these dynamics, through the violent, expressive movement and abstracted patination of oil paint and water colour. Large scale installations and contemporary execution will aim to challenge the viewer to reassess this subject matter in our modern world. Where once we would hunt these subjects for display trophies, now we must face the fact that our impact upon them is threatening their very survival.’
Alan Kitching was commissioned by Cadogan Estate to create a mural in central London. The mural celebrates Mary Quant’s fashion work in the building in the 1960’s. Originally created in letterpress then translated into paint onto a 40ft wall by Will Impry. You can view the artwork on King’s Road near Duke of York Square in Chelsea, London.
