Nick Walker – In Gods We Trust

October 13, 2010 butterfly Leave a comment

After two years Nick Walker returns to London with a new Solo Show at Art Sensus Gallery. “In Gods we trust” questions religious and political beliefs using a satirical sense of humour.

Controversial debates are illustrated like the Burka ban in France with Le Corancan and the Pope visit in the UK turning into a James Bond villain “Pope Sinister”

To add another dimension, and with religion literally melting away, Nick Walker’s little angels were happily chiseling away a chocolate Jesus and distributing a piece of it to the guests.

Eine, D*Face and Zevs at Faces exhibition

September 18, 2010 butterfly 4 Comments

A new concept gallery combining art with an hair salon, Electric Blue Gallery has gathered UK and French artists, to each make over an entire street in their inimitable style, creating an unprecedented outdoor gallery only visible at night.

The exhibition/outdoor concept, Faces, extends the gallery space beyond its traditional white walls and out onto the blank canvas of eleven surrounding streets, creating an affluent new London East End destination by day, and a free, international gallery of world-class contemporary art by night. With over a year in planning, by completion it will be one of the biggest permanent public installations in the world.
