MEDIA RLEASE COURTESY OF: ARTISAN GALLERY
The Artisan Gallery opens for the first time this year from the 6th February to 20th February 2010.
Situated on the corner of Harlesden and Parkfield roads, the former organic shop has been transformed into a gallery.
After closing her Portobello studio Naomi Harrison recently opened artisan, a combination of gallery and working studio. The shops transformation has caused much speculation in the neighbourhood. Having stood on this corner since 1905 it is very much part of local history and everyone knows its quirky appearance. From always being a corner shop it now begins a new era as a gallery space for local artists and those whose work offers something different.
artisan has invited Martin Wilson with his friends Richard and Kate Baxter and Sarah Cowley to combine and create an exhibition which will delight and amuse. This exhibition demonstrates the calibre of talent which artisan will continue to attract.
Martin Wilson creates his photographic images frame by frame on 35 mm film. Each frame is taken in sequence. The filmstrips are then laid side by side to create the final image, literally making every picture count. Recently featured in Wired Magazine and exhibiting throughout the country, Martin’s reputation as an image maker is growing. www.martinwilson.net
Richard Baxter lists Stella McCartney and Heston Blumenthal as clients as well as having many of his pieces featured in books, magazines and on television. He is an established potter well known for his beautiful porcelain work embodying strength, translucency and purity of colour.
Kate Baxter recently began designing and hand building her own pots, notably large platters and some perky Beaky Jugs. Each piece is treated as an individual ‘canvas’ for a variety of decorative techniques including brushwork, stencilling, printing and scraffito. All her work is handcrafted and unique.
Sarah Cowley uses glass as a versatile and captivating medium; her use of light and colour can transform a space. It allows her expression in the design of unique functional vessels, sculptural pieces and contemporary wearable jewellery. Her inspiration comes from organic forms in the real world, and what can only be imagined. http://sharpfifteen.com/sarah.aspx
Gallery opening times: Wednesday to Saturday 11am to 4pm.
Location: 80 Harlesden road, London NW10 2AJ
