Event: Drawn

Dates: 21 Mar 2015 - 7 Jun 2015

Drawn is a biennial open submission drawing exhibition. It aims to raise the profile of drawing, exploring it as both an autonomous discipline and an interdisciplinary tool. The exhibition pushes the parameters of drawing by exploring the parallel language of multiple disciplines, and includes illustrators, videographers, sculptors, printers, embroiderers, typographers, animators and architects.

Artists are encouraged to use both wall and floor space utilising both traditional and experimental techniques and technologies, exploring the boundaries of drawing.

The selection panel includes: Anita Taylor, Artist, Director, Jerwood Drawing Prize and Dean of Bath School of Art & Design; Kate MacFarlane, Director of Drawing Room, London; Yvonne Crossley RWA, artist and founder of The Drawing Gallery; and artists Tim Harrisson RWA and Fiona Robinson RWA .

Event: The Discerning Eye

Dates: 13 Nov 2014 - 23 Sep 2014

The Discerning Eye annual exhibition is a show of small works independently selected by six prominent figures from different areas of the art world: two artists, two collectors and two critics. Work is selected from open submission and from artists invited by the individual selectors. Each selector's section is hung separately giving the impression of six small exhibitions within the whole.

It provides an unusual opportunity for works by lesser-known artists to be hung alongside contributions from internationally recognised names. The selectors are solely responsible for their own selection; selection is not by committee. The only restrictions are limitation of size (only small works are permitted) and to select at least 25% of their section from the open submission. Both my works were selected from the open submission.

Event: 161st Annual Open

Dates: 24 Nov 2013 - 26 Jan 2014

Event: London Group Open 2011

Dates: 20 Oct 2011 - 10 Nov 2011

The London Group was set up in 1913 by thirty two artists including Robert Bevan, Henri Gaudier Brzeska, Jacob Epstein, Duncan Grant, Wyndham Lewis, Lucien Pissarro and Walter Sickert, with the aim of creating a powerful artist-run group to act as a counter-balance to institutions such as the Royal Academy. The founding group created a unique structure for an organisation, that has gone on to successfully nurture the careers of many of Britain’s best-known artists.

The London Group holds a prestigious biennial Open Exhibition where artists, at all stages of their careers, are invited to submit work to exhibit alongside members’, with at least half the exhibitors being non-members. 160 works in total were shown.

My painting 'Bully Boys' was selected by Bill Feaver (writer, artist and critic) and Jenni Lomax (Director, Camden Arts Centre). Guest exhibitors Gillian Ayres RA, Robyn Denny, John Carter RA and Richard Wilson RA also participated, and a work by the late John Hoyland RA was shown.
