Sunday 19th November: Yukai Du at Atom Gallery

Yukai Du's personal work is now on view at Atom Gallery in her solo show "Time Off"  combining painting, prints and a screen of moving-image animation.  It's a chance to explore what an artist gets up to in her spare time, allowing her imagination to have full reign without restriction from commission.  Stills have been taken from a GIFF and printed as a full series to see the amount of work that goes into each frame of a video.  For example here you can see an image of a reservoir where the banks of the structure are made from hands which is the running theme throughout the narrative.

Yukai's show is open till 26th November with prints and books for sale alongside the gallery's shop from previous exhibitions.

Thursday 19th October: Survival Techniques at Atom Gallery

 

After a couple of years since devising Survival Techniques and covering walls of London with inspirational motto murals, Naomi Edmondson now has a solo show at Atom Gallery in Green Lanes.  The gallery is situated above a screen-printing studio where you can view her prints being made ready for the limited edition run in conjunction with the show.  Out the back, she has painted a brand new commission on the side of their exposure unit which you can see in this portrait of the artist at her private view! 

Her archive of works are hung gloriously in one complete story alongside a London map pin-pointing the locations of her large scale street-art.  There is even a suggestion box to add your own Survival Technique to her bank of memos to be used in the future.  If you'd like a hands-on experience painting with Naomi, check out her Cass Arts workshop here.
