1of1design are delighted to announce the opening of Art House, a temporary exhibition of 8 London Artists at Westfield London.
Opening this week, the concept of the six week gallery is to bring established and emerging artists to the general public, who may never think of visiting a traditional gallery.
Amongst the established artists are Raph Thomas, who will be bringing new originals of his colourful rainbow animals and Kate Winskill, with a new series of CatWomen prints and abstract figure paintings. Both have shown at Westfield in previous years. Joining them are collage and abstract artist Stephen Doak and expressionist landscape painter Dilys Foster. Showing their work together for the first time are emerging urban artists Rory Thomas, Luis Alvarez and Lauren Mavromatis. These artists use text , photography and drawn and digital imagery to tell stories of contemporary life .
All the artists will be manning the gallery at different times throughout the residency , so customers can find out more about their work. Work is affordable for every pocket , with prints available from £50 and originals from £100 – £2500. Free local delivery on large works .
