This group show brings together a collective of 10 artists based
all over London working with the mediums of paint and
photography. All artists are reacting to the world around them
and the relentless grind of crisis. They come together on this
day 21.12.12, a time when great changes were predicted from
The Docklands is right on the river, this exhibition draws on the
water that flows like paint throughout this show, as the oily
Thames mirrors the obsessiveness of these 10 painters. The
turbulence of the thick paint rushes and washes over the canvas,
sometimes slowly then vigorously and violently brushed on, and
then calmly the moon pulls this matter of lightness and
blackness. The colour pigment is pushed and pulled like a tide
that turns when the time of one thing is over and a new thing
These are unknown artist’s emerging in unknown times, some
have been producing work for many years that have been
brought together in this group show at the end of 2012. The
group includes exhibitors from the Thread Needle prize, the
Cork Street Open 2012 as well as a solo show in the Norman
Foster Building 10 Gresham Street.
