SOME LITTLE ARTISTS
14 June - 27 July
LITTLE ARTISTS |
|
 |
 |
The Little Artists are John Cake and Darren Neave. Cake and Neave's practice considers cultural identity, branding and what it means to be a contemporary artist through adopting the concept of the figure of the artist as a logo, a brand name, a lifestyle choice. They created and became 'The Little Artists' brand. Their work has been exhibited across the UK, Europe and in New York. This is the first time a slice of their practice has been brought together.

VINCENT JAMES |
|
 |
|
| Vincent James' collages, sculptures, animations and installations are based on objects appropriated from cartoons. In these works props from different cartoon worlds collide creating strange, funny and surreal interactions.

LESLEY HALLIWELL
13 September - 19 October
HYPOTROCHOIDS |
|
 |
|
Lesley Halliwell resurrects the 1970’s children’s favourite, the Spirograph, creating ragged, dizzy, psychedelic and beautifully pointless pen drawings. Halliwell transforms the ready-made format of the Spirograph and everyday biro pens into large scale colourful works which gently hover between a playfulness that we all recognise and a sophistication that comes from her focused and obsessive application.

PETER BLAKE
25 October - 23 November
ALPHABET |
|
 |
|
Alphabet is a set of bold and colourful silkscreen prints, one for each letter of the alphabet, produced by Peter Blake in 1991. Alphabet characterises Blake’s method of working, incorporating images from postcards, magazines and popular ephemera. Peter Blake emerged in the 1960s as one of the leading British Pop Artists; he is most famous, perhaps, for his cover design of The Beatles’ Sergeant Pepper album in 1967.

RICHARD BARTLE
10 January - 14 February |
|
 |
|
| Bartle’s work is a critique on the behavioural and visual patterns of modern life. Using found images he creates visually stunning collages that are not only beautiful but reflect on the darker aspects of society in an attempt to provide the viewer with some sense of hope. |

GREG COX
21 February - 28 March |
|
 |
|
Through a process of physical interaction and interruption, Cox’s work makes use of the mundane object, most commonly domestic furniture to investigate the form, the accidents and our relationship with these things. Using brightly coloured laminates to cover the cut surfaces of the objects, the newly made sculpture becomes a quiet and oddly compelling piece of strange intensity.
