Thursday 1st of May saw an array of paintings arrive at my house, many of which were still wet - however we managed to install them all in the church and prepare ourselves for the Private View. In total MASS has 58 canvases by 27 artists - a complete congregation. We bought some wine and invited some friends to celebrate the launch of this unique exhibition, and the highlights can be seen in the video below. We sang songs, accompanied by the church organ, and listened to the words of local poet Michael James Parker.

Phew, MASS is installed. We had a fantastic Private View on Thursday, with well over 100 people in attendance - video of the event will be online shortly. In the meantime here’s a re-cut version of the MASS promo, featuring a lot more artwork.

I went up to London to partake of the opening night of the Douglas Bader Foundation show last night. The show itself is excellent, with some really good work, I particularly liked Jo Dennis’ stuff and that of fellow Brightonian Jonathan Ridley. The event was somewhat chaotic, with a rambling auction taking up the majority of the evening - there was rather more art than there were buyers which was somewhat of a disappointment - but despite them auctioning the wrong piece of shardcore work (and giving away my secret identity), I think it resulted in a good boost to the coffers of a worthy organisation.

The show is still up today, and I think possibly tomorrow, so if you’re in the area it’s well worth a visit [and not solely to enjoy the shardcore work on show…]

I’m pleased to announce that I shall be exhibiting as part of the Affordable Art Fair in London next week. I’ll be exhibiting six canvases at The Gallery 129 St. Johns Hill, London, SW11 1TG in support of the Douglas Bader Foundation. There is a drinks reception and auction on the first night, 7pm 23rd January - feel free to come along, and I’ll happily explain why it’s essential that you have an anamorphic painting of a 17th Centry philosopher in your collection.
