Come and join Mark Spain at Artisan Kingston
Saturday 19th May!!
The Brand New Kerry Darlington Image will be available at Artisan Fine Art Epping
Saturday the 28th April
It is with great pleasure we announce the launch of a brand new collection of limited edition art by
Billy Connolly
‘Born On A Rainy Day’ is a series of pen and ink drawings, created by Connolly over the last two years. These charming and thought-provoking characters, seemingly without identity, are a product of Connolly’s vivid imagination; real and recognisable characters, portrayed in a surreal, almost dreamlike way.
This exhibition opens in our gallery on
SATURDAY 17 MARCH
2012 sees Connolly’s artistic expression take a new path, in the form of fine art. In 2007, on a dull, cold and rainy day in Montreal, Connolly happened upon an art shop, where the urge to create took hold. Several hours and several Canadian dollars later, Connolly was back in his hotel room with a veritable smorgasbord of art supplies and a creative demon to exorcise.
Artisan Epping & Peter Smith invite you to the World's very first explanation of The Lost Impossimals. The Man behind the stories of these larger that life creatures will be giving us the history lessons that time forgot, whilst unveiling his never-before seen collection The Lost Impossimals.
Join us at Artisan Gallery
Saturday, 25th February
Meet Peter and hear the long-awaited stories behind his much loved Impossimals.
In 1902 Charles Burroughs commonly known as ‘Bluster Burroughs’, the foremost expert in the Victorian era of cryptozoology disappeared whilst exploring the Congo. Famed for regularly capturing unknown species in the wild before the advent of portable photography the whereabouts of his extensive collection of Defluo Impossimali or Lost Impossimal location paintings remained a mystery.
Charles painted on anything that came to hand during his numerous expeditions around the world the paintings became a Victorian sensation. Exhibited widely throughout the Empire as part of the Impossisaurus Britannicas collection and viewed by some of the leading figures from the Victorian era they are said to have influenced the likes of scientists, scholars and authors alike until their eventual disappearance in 1902....
The rest of this amazing story shall be unveiled by Peter himself on Saturday 25th February. Do not miss this fantastic opportunity!

Eve Arnold - (April 21, 1912 – January 4, 2012)
Eve Arnold, the American photographer famous for her portraits of Marilyn Monroe, has died aged 99
She was due to turn 100 in April.
Born in Philadelphia in 1912, Arnold went on to become the first North American woman to join the famous Magnum Photos agency and became a leading photographer for Life magazine and The Sunday Times where she cemented her place as one of the industry's most revered figures of the 20th century.
Although she was also highly accomplished in fashion photography and travelled through Russia, China, South Africa and Afghanistan as a photojournalist, it was Arnold's portraits of figures such as Malcolm X, Joan Crawford and the Queen that became her most famous work.
In particular she will be remembered for her iconic series capturing 50s movie siren Monroe, whom she photographer in a variety of intimate scenes from 1951 right up until the time of her final movie, The Misfits, in 1961.
In 1980 Arnold received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Society of Magazine Photographers and had her first solo exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum in New York. In 1995, she was made a fellow of the Royal Photographic Society, and elected Master Photographer by New York's International Center of Photography. Her work is in major museum collections around the world including the National Portrait Gallery in London.
Arnold, whose ability to win the trust of her subjects was the basis of so much of her best work, once said: "If the photographer is interested in the people in front of his lens, and if he is compassionate, it's already a lot. The instrument is not the camera but the photographer."

RONNIE WOOD - NEW RELEASE OF LIMITED EDITION PRINTS - IN GALLERIES NOW
Painting at full throttle, and with technical prowess, Wood gives the art lover an exhilarating and thrilling front row view of the Stones on stage, as his vibrant paintings convey the electricity of a live performance. The intensity that Ronnie Wood brings to his guitar playing on stage is brilliantly echoed on canvas and paper as he translates the rawness of a Rolling Stones performance through rhythmic lines, bold colours and awesomely accurate facial expressions.
The images in The Famous Flames Suite display a flamboyant synergy, as the orange wave-like flame sweeps dramatically across the painting, creating an exhilarating feeling of movement. Referencing photographs of each band member on stage, Wood first creates a dramatic black backdrop and paints his fellow Stones with breathtaking clarity and realism. Effortlessly working in acrylics, then oils and robustly embellishing the art with oil pastels. Meanwhile, the electric and vibrant backdrop in Stones on Stage – Got Me Rockin’ is matched by the animated performance of the band, captured by Wood, as Jagger struts energetically across the foreground of the canvas.
Please don't hesitate to contact your local gallery for more information or to arrange a viewing.
