Natural Flux at Brick Lane Gallery (Annexe), 6-11 November 2013
Categorised under: Art & Exhibitions
The exhibition NATURAL FLUX is a unique exploration of nature as contemporary art, through the medium of bonsai and will be showing at Brick Lane Gallery Annexe (93-95 Sclater Street) 6th-11th November.
NATURAL FLUX was initiated by professional bonsai specialist Peter Warren and is the continuation of an idea which dates back over 150 years in Japanese bonsai, asking artists and craftsmen to make something which can be used in conjunction with bonsai to create something beautiful. The exhibition will therefore present bonsai artistry, juxtaposed with the ceramics, metalwork, photography and sculpture of international artists to create a unique and accessible exhibition, which re-evaluates how we look at nature and our relationship with it.
The exhibition will also feature film-based photography by up and coming street photographer Shinichi Adachi; US based Sculptor Kevin Bielicki who combines forms of wood found in nature like vines, roots, and branches with industrial materials such as concrete, steel and epoxy resin; and blacksmith Agnes Jones, whose work is an intriguing mix of the functional and the sculptural. Using metal as a medium for drawing, she manipulates steel bars and wire into large-scale sketches.
All are warmly invited to join the artists at the opening of NATURAL FLUX on Thursday 7th November from 6pm – 8.30pm, for the first preview of this unique exhibition. For more information and to rsvp please email Tessa Yee on info@thebricklanegallery.com.
