Curious Duke Gallery will be home to a glowing tale of cities, from the crumbling decay of decadent buildings to the sparks of light that hang over the landscape after sunset. Roadz will be open 5th - 28th June 2014.
Tyrimos's first solo show is a fiesta of colour and metropolitn melodrama exclusive to Curious Duke Gallery. After graduating from Central Saint Martins in 2009, Tyrimos' paintings have grown in detail and fascination of urban lifestyles, with an emphasis on the emission of colour through light, most notable in her paintings of London and New York at night.
Her keen eye for the beauty of a cityscape has brought about three separate bodies of work: Notting Hill Carnival, City Lights and Brick. After taking inspiration from Charles Baudelaire's call for painters to focus on " depicting the fast-chaingin landscapes of life,"Tyrimos had found her niche.
Andrea Tyrimos' solo show Roadz will be a cluster of colour and characters that make big cities the havens of gritty beauty that they are.
