The raw honest beauty of illustrator Claudine O’Sullivan

Posted on by

This stunning illustration by final year student Claudine O’Sullivan was judged the winner of the The Coffee Art Project 2013. Chosen from 85 entrants, her watercolour ink and pencil illustration on Khadi paper, will be auctioned to raise funds for Project Waterfall, a charity that work alongside coffee producers to provide water filtration in Tanzania and other coffee producing African countries.

Claudine, who is graduating from BA (Hons) Graphic and Media Design, Illustration and Visual Media pathway, will be showing her final work at London College of Communication’s Summer Show Three from 21 – 28 June 2013.

A traditional illustrator specialising in portraiture, she works mainly in pencil, watercolour and ink and her vivid, abstract portraits are gaining her plenty of praise, with a solo exhibition under her belt in 2013 and an exciting collaboration planned next year.

Her documentation of her time working at an Orphanage in Jaipur, which made up part of a solo exhibition in March, impressed the Managing Director of Allegra, who funded the Coffee Art Project. And a similar trip to Tanzania to photograph and document the work done by Project Waterfall may also be on the cards for early next year.

Claudine has also collaborated on a campaign with domestic violence charity Southall Black Sisters that works with women who have suffered domestic abuse. And with such raw honesty a feature of her beautiful illustrations it’s no surprise charities are keen to have her help them highlight the human faces behind their causes.

Peter Blake: Four Decades – Exhibition at Chelsea Futurespace

FOR-WEBPeter-Blake-Triple-for-PR

Peter Blake: Four Decades

Prints selected by the artist

Exhibition runs: Wednesday 15th May 2013 – 28th July 2013

Chelsea Futurespace proudly presents Four Decades an exhibition of prints by Sir Peter Blake, selected by the artist. Blake’s work takes its influence from the realms of pop culture, literature, music and contemporary art. The suites of prints in the exhibition include his series of Appropriated Alphabets, Alice in Wonderland, The Butterfly Man (Homage to Damien Hirst) and Homage to Schwitters. Other highlights include prints from the Found Art series, screenprints from collage and portraits of musicians including Chuck Berry, Brian Wilson, Ian Dury, The Everly Brothers and The Clash. The show covers the diversity and dexterity of Blake’s practice as an artist working in print across the last four decades.

Sir Peter Blake is renowned for his influence on Pop Art and culture and is frequently referred to as the ‘Godfather of British Pop Art’. He has worked with bands and musicians including The Beatles, Oasis and Paul Weller, designing the iconic cover for The Beatles’ ‘Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’. Blake’s work transcends the divisions between high art and pop culture, with visual influences from artists such as Kurt Schwitters to music icon Frank Sinatra.

An internationally acclaimed artist, Sir Peter Blake (born 1932) studied at Gravesend Technical College before attending the Royal College of Art. He subsequently taught there and at other institutions including St Martin’s College. A major retrospective of his work Now We Are 64 took place at the National Gallery in 1996 and at Tate Liverpool in 2007. Sir Peter Blake was knighted in 2002, for services to art.

Exhibition in association with CCA Galleries and Paul Stolper Gallery.

As with each exhibition at Chelsea Futurespace, a new publication will accompany the show, published by CHELSEA space.

SHOW_OV SCREEN_PLASMA 2_Page_2

Throughout June graduating London College of Communication (LCC) students reveal their work in three exhibitions around the central theme of London College of Exhibitionists.

[They] Whisper it quietly but LCC graduates are driving the creative industries, modestly defining the landscape of media and design through photography, design, graphics, film, TV, advertising, PR, journalism, publishing and printing.

Usually behind the scenes, the cameras and the campaigns, we don’t like to make a fuss. But this summer we’re inviting you to take a closer look at the next generation of LCC graduates.

Artists’ Plans for Sustainability

In just a few more decades, the world’s population will exceed 9 billion, 70% of which will live in cities. This exhibition brings together artists’ plans for innovative and radical solutions to a more sustainable and resilient way of life.

One of the first artists to examine sustainability was Joseph Beuys, a founder of the green movement in Germany in the 1960s. His famous multiple, Capri Battery, is here joined by the work of contemporary artists who propose a range of solutions to issues such as the waste and exploitation inherent in a textile industry founded in the Industrial Revolution, the hostility of the built environment to more sustainable behaviours, political divisions, food waste and the social and economic problems of Venice, a city faced with a binary catastrophe of rising sea levels and sinking land.

Visitors will be able to transfer some of the ideas to their own communities and homes and see how the Mead Gallery itself has endeavoured to limit the carbon impact of making this exhibition.

Dates: Thursday 2 May – Saturday 22 Jun 2013 (Closed Bank Holiday Mondays 6 May and 27 May)
Times: Mon – Sat, 12 – 9pm
Location: Mead Gallery, Warwick Arts Centre
, University of Warwick
, Gibbet Hill Road
, Coventry, CV4 7AL

The exhibition will be temporarily closed to visitors on Friday 3 May from 2pm – 9pm and on Saturday 4 May from 12 noon – 5pm.

LCF students showcase dye garden at the Chelsea Flower Show

Posted on by

CFS_exterior

MA Fashion and the Environment students, in collaboration with designers Story Storey, are to design and host one of the Chelsea Flower Show’s Artisan Retreats.

The summer house will feature a Dye Garden installation and is one of only six retreats in the Flower Show. The retreats are reserved to exhibit the best and most innovative in garden style, arts and creation.

The Dye Garden Retreat will be manned by MA Fashion and the Environment students past and present, and will sit alongside retreats decorated by top UK designers and artists including Wayne Hemmingway, Cath Kidston and Rob Ryan.

Seeking to marry innovative fashion design with ethics and pleasure, the MA Fashion and the Environment students have been using plant dyes to create a range of subtle and beautiful colours and patterns on cloth. The collections exhibited in the Retreat have each been created with natural dyes grown by the students in their dye garden at Mare Street in Hackney, or harvested from within a 15 mile radius.

CFS_press

Their beautiful and sustainable designs will be on show for the Flower Show’s 161,000 thousand visitors as well as 1,300 journalists, photographers and BBC TV.
