In these tough economic times, with many galleries closing their doors, this trailer inspired me. It’s playing June 26th at the Orange County Museum of Art.
Dear friends,
Hibbleton Gallery is pleased to announce an art exhibit entitled “Golden Hands” featuring four artists and illustrators from the United Kingdom: Reena Makwana, Chloe Bonfield, Jennifer Matignas Pitchers, and Millie Easton. The opening reception is Friday, June 12, from 7-11pm. Refreshments will be provided by The Cellar Restaurant. As always, this event is free!
Reena Makwana enjoys working with both the pen and the needle. She makes embroideries and drawings on a wide range of themes, from the everyday experiences of humiliation and embarrassment to the idea of superstitions, how they survive in our modern world and how perhaps society clings to old stories and sayings as an alternative belief in something outside of themselves. She has shown her work at Supine Studios in London, and Surface Gallery in Nottingham.
Chloe Bonfield’s artwork explores the dark, the mystical, and the otherworldly. Her pieces for the Hibbleton show are based on the Hans Christian Anderson story called ‘The Girl Who Trod on the Loaf’, about a young girl who pulls the wings off insects, and is punished in a most tragic way. Her work has been published in Charm Offensive Art Journal, Hyphen Magazine, Youth Outlook Magazine, and InsideOut Magazine. She has shown her work in and around London.
Jennifer Matignas Pitchers enjoys making work with a literary background, and demonstrates poetic conciseness in her pen, ink and colour washes. She is influenced by the subtlety and romance of artists like Hammershoi, Whistler, Potter, and the Blakes. She describes her work as “Eerie, silent, suffering.” Pitchers has worked for Amelia’s Magazine, Sup Magazine, Notes From The Underground, and Meadowside Children’s Book Publishers. She has shown her work at various locations in London.
Millie Easton’s drawings and paintings are influenced by: woodsmen, 60’s teenagers, love, death, occults, serial killers, 60’s garage rock, Peter Cook, photographers in general, long road trips, southern America, Charles Bukowski, Lou Reed, and strangers. She has shown her art in and around London: Camberwell, Peckham, and in her hometown of Tunbridge Wells. Easton’s work is based around couples sleeping. The shapes they make and the things they do.
The show runs through July 5, 2009.
Hope to see you there!
Love,
Hibbleton Gallery
