ContiniArtUK
105 New Bond Street, London
30th June – 7th July 2017.

I'd like to invite you to the forthcoming collaborative exhibition at ContiniArtUK.
Many thanks to Cristian Contini and Justin Raccanello from Bazaart for making this exhibition possible.
Shadows of the Past‘ is an exciting and very unusual collaboration for London Art Week combining artifacts from the past with contemporary sculpture. Camille Leprince and Justin Raccanello's choice is highly selective for quality, rarity and condition of each ceramic on show. I have created new sculpture (see banner above, detail of ‘BATHERS‘ 2017). for this joint exhibition inspired by a number of the renaissance ceramics presented by Bazaart.

For a last-minute invitation for the Private View please reply to me by email.

The Hannah Peschar Sculpture Garden

An enchanting mixture of light and shade creates a fabulous setting for my two sculptures CIRCA and CIRCUM on show throughout the summer. I'm sorry we missed the Private View which drew the largest crowd ever for the event. The sculpture garden really is well worth a visit and we'll be dropping in later this summer.

‘An Eye for the Buoys‘ - Art Sail, based on steel panel sculpture ‘EVE‘

Here is the latest "eye catcher" from Michael Ross, Fine Art Sails, which features multiple images of the Olympic racing sail ‘An Eye for the Buoys‘, only this time not produced as a sail cloth but as lining for Michael Ross' unique new jacket created by Cad & the Dandy on Saville Row. I suggest he titles this one "All Eyes on Me"!

Michael is currently working on the next spectacular ArtSails event this Autumn for the Barcolana Regatta in Trieste, Italy.

Overshadowed

It's difficult at times not to feel overshadowed by the political chaos and recent social tragedies but despite these dark clouds I hope you all have a great summer.
