Rosetta Window Gallery exhibition

Paul — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 21:30:43 +0000

Rosetta Rathbone Art Studios. 26B Rathbone Market, Canning Town, E16 1EH.

Installation: 11/02/2012.
Official opening: Thursday 1st March from from 7-9pm.
Ends: 27/03/2012.

Works will change over the lifetime of the exhibition and will begin with the following pieces of work:

Some objects are idolised, others are used every day and not fully appreciated. Objects we buy, surround ourselves with and throw away have a personality of their own. Much like people, objects are altered by their surroundings, purposes and shapes.
When we want to get to know someone we ask “What do you do?” Their answer and how it relates to us shapes our opinion of them. The personality of an object is also heavily influenced by what it does. We think differently about a sword, hammer, flower and football not just because they look different but because they have different uses and functions.

When drawing an object you get to sit and look at it for a long time. While you’re looking a personality starts to emerge, sometimes humorous, relaxed or intelligent; other times an object can be remote or even indifferent. Perhaps through this work I can show some life in otherwise inanimate objects.

All the drawings are created with oil pastel on either white of coloured paper. Drawings are glued onto thrownaway cardboard and then cut-out to give the relief or 3D effect

Videos shot at an exhibition of my work at LAPIEZA gallery in Madrid, Spain in April 2011. During the exhibition I drew objects in the gallery that had been chosen or created by other artists. I mounted the drawings on cardboard and displayed them in the gallery.

Kalashnikov AK47 drawings

Paul — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 22:35:32 +0000

Kalashnivov AK47 drawings.

These are multiple drawings of an AK47 assault rifle, drawn using oil pastel on paper on cardboard.

The rifle was a tough object to warm to, likely due to it’s purpose, so I often felt separate from it while I was drawing.
The drawings were made viewing the rifle from various angles.

Drawing at the Ragged School Museum

Paul — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 21:07:05 +0000

	In late August I spent 3 days working at the Ragged School Museum in Mile End, east London. I drew some objects from the museum, creating several line drawings, which were available for visiting children to colour in.

Football shirt drawing

Drawing of a QPR football shirt

This is a football shirt, in this case it;s Queens Park Rangers, a football club in West London.
I’ve drawn it so that the colours are separated, the white parts of the shirt in front of the blue sections.

Man-bag drawings

Paul — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 21:51:53 +0000

It’s a bag I often use to carry a book and other essentials.
Here I’ve partially cut-out the drawing on cardboard and left them standing out on the floor.

Banana skins on cardboard

Here the banana skin drawings are glued onto cardboard.
The irregular shape of the sheet of cardboard emphasises the three-dimensional aspects of the drawings.
