Spectrum, which opened this year on a mission to promote young artists, launches it's second exhibition this November, and it has a very strong London theme. The Artist and The City presents three young artists offering distinctive views of London.
Richard Tait (see image) uses traditional oil and canvas and focuses on the City and the Square Mile. Glaswegian Brian Love uses pastel and oil to create vibrant urban imagery. The featured artist is Marco Amura - the 2004 Hunting Prize Artist of the Year - whose images take in both London and New York through series of striking screen prints. The images are wonderfully evocative and daringly realised.
This is a great show for anyone who loves art or London, and another success for one of London's better new galleries.
Well worth a look. |
