Info on some of London's art events happening this May / June
 

For 2 weeks starting 11th April, we took over the 2 m high x 3.7m wide screens on the Westbound Central line platform at Liverpool Street to bring you ‘Art in Motion’ - a series of short films showing different artists actually in the process of creating their own work.

 

We recieved an overwhelming response from press and online media including The Independent, Design Week, The BBC News, and The Evening Standard.

 

The underground exhibition was marked by an 'upstairs' event at the Future Gallery in Covent Garden on the 19th April sponsored by Courvoisier.  Check out photos from the event here

 

Nasser Azam's Dual Public Art Display in Tokyo and London

Last month Art Below unveiled Nasser Azam's 'Antarctica' on poster space and on digital projection screens in the London Underground and the Tokyo Metro simultaneously.

 

London's commuters were able to view scenes of Nasser Azam in temperatures of minus 40 degrees, buffeted by gales, painting in different settings: on glaciers, by frozen lakes, and in ice caves.

 

Art Below also devised an international video link enabling London's travellers to view the Tokyo platform the poster display and all the public activity going on around it.

Francis Terry - The Leake Street Classicist

On the 1st of April Architect Francis Terry, son of Quinlan Terry entered the unfamiliar territory of ‘Banksy’s Tunnel’ in London’s Leake Street to spend the whole day treating the graffitied walls as a classical facade.

 

The whole process was filmed and is now available to view here

Using his knowledge of Renaissance ornament and proportion he attempted to bring harmony and order to the chaos and confusion.

This was the first time that a qualified chartered architect has done ‘a piece’ in the Leake Street tunnel.

 

Ben Moore founder of Art Below comments ‘The scene is wonderfully ironic -  Classicists are
usually seen as being quaint and conservative, and the grafiti world is the polar opposite but
somehow by Francis Terry doing a piece in the tunnel ends up being the most revolutionary act of all'

 

The same space a few days later!

 

 

Dylan Culhane
Transcendental Wayfaring
10 June - 26 August 2011

EB&Flow is pleased to announce Dylan Culhane’s first London solo exhibition. Culhane experiments with multi exposure photography. His work features meticulous layering of multiple exposures on celluloid in the way a painter might build up brush-strokes of oil upon canvas.
 
He will be presenting a series of photographs which demonstrate a unique and personal representation of place. Many were taken in and around his native Cape Town. Photography is one of South Africa’s most dynamic art forms yet gritty documentary images within the tradition of struggle have dominated Western perceptions entrenching a very one-dimensional view of the country and its art. Culhane aspires to push these boundaries of convention by embracing a fresh, experimental, view of the country in his work and harnessing the sizzling zeitgeist.
 
"By layering contrasting exposures, Dylan forces us to appreciate how an artist can be an illusionist, transfiguring generic landscapes into emotive, alternate realities. Dylan pushes the visual boundaries and capabilities of the camera for the aesthetic delight of us, the viewer."
Margherita Berloni, Co-Director, EB&Flow
 
Culhane regards the celluloid negative as a canvas, layering it with dabs, splatters, slits and shapes of light. In his new work he explores the tactility of working with paint and collage in multiple exposures. He works reductively by stripping layers of emulsion from the celluloid negative in a sequence of exposures dictated by the interplay of light and shadow on film.
 
Drawing on a variety of influences including MC Escher, Japanese sumi-e painting and Op-Art, Culhane’s work is distinctive in that wherever possible he resists the lure of digital manipulation, using oft-forgotten in-camera techniques to create provocative images more akin to illustration, painting, or digital design than photography. Steering clear of any single subject opens up the final product to an array of interpretations. The Buddhist philosophy, specifically the idea that nothing is constant or fixed, also plays a strong influence in his work.
