Kin ran from the 7th until the 24th March, we had have several events for you to attend over the two weeks, workshops and taIks

‘Kin is a show of related types. I have a lot of names that people call me (to my face and when talking about me). I’m not sure why people feel the need to give me a nickname (always based on my real name). Only recently I found out a group of friends call me ‘Little Rob’, when I asked if there was another, taller, Rob, they said there wasn’t. I wonder if all these names are different types of me. I’ve always worked on many different things at once, this can be seen (commercially at least) as bad thing; commerce loves more of the same, but it feels very true to how I live in the world: taking how I see, and experience, it and showing it in different ways.

There is a consistency in my approach: an interest in movement, depth, repetition and flatness, but also a celebration of the nature of materials and tools used. The calligraphic pen is used to create typographic topiary, with sublime repetition taking the place of language; French curve templates turn into fancy breed birds; improvised pencil drawings revel in redundant beauty and simple lines turn into structural follies or colourful studies of movement and depth. These are all from the same place. They are all related.’  Rob.

HERE & NOW EXHIBITION - AUGUST

A celebration of local artist Dave Buonaguidi and his love for maps and the east end. Dave came to screen printing pretty late in life and has now become totally possessed by it. Anytime that he's not in the studio printing, you will find him trawling around auction sites and flea markets looking for interesting found images and ephemera that he can try and print onto. He uses the techniques of mass communication and propaganda to create evocative pieces that connect in an emotive and humorous way.

Brilliant new brand please check them out.

We commissioned Steph Martin from Stuff Creative Studio to hand-paint 3 internal walls and 2 external walls. She was encouraged to use her own style to accompany and bring out the brands logos. She smashed it, was so professional, worked really hard and wasn't phased by anything - not even three days of Biblical rain could stop her. It looked EPIC superstar skills.
