Top 5 #LondonExhibitions 19th-25th September

Posted on September 19, 2014

 

With our greatly appreciated extra snippet of Summer hanging around, I think it is fair to say “Make sure you get and see things!”

 

Final week! Secret Art Prize 2014: The Winners

With only one week left to see the future greats of the art world! For everyone who has paid us a visit, you'll know that winner Mohammed Sami's striking abstract worlds that hark back to his upbringing in Iraq are spell boundinggg, not to leave out the exotic colours of Johnathan Reiner's screen prints and Blandine Bardeau's swirling neons. And if you haven't visited, then you're missing out, massively.

All Everything

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Parasol Unit, light artist James Clar has been commissioned to take over the garden of the London premises. You'd be right in thinking this piece is something of a Big Bang, the explosive rays of light pour outwards in bars, not just to recall our factual existence on earth, but the continuation of Parasol Unit.
