Pick Any Two

I am currently busy organising and curating Our Style Is Legendary: The Art of LeftLion, an exhibition celebrating LeftLion’s five years as the cultural cornerstone of Nottingham. The exhibition will feature prints and canvases from an archive of artwork by the cream of Hoodtown’s illustrators and photographers, as well as video installations and sculpture in the gallery space.

We will also be showcasing new work by artists who responded to a brief of representing the left lion in Nottingham’s market square as a meeting place and human interaction in the city (this being the initial idea which inspired LeftLion’s existence). Judging by the pieces I have received so far, things are shaping up nicely with some fantastic canvases and a great film turning up in the post this week. I’ll add more details in the next few days, so keep your eyes peeled for a little taster of what will be on display.

The opening night is at the Malt Cross on Thursday 5th March, starting at 7pm with live bands and performance throughout the night. The artwork will be on show in the gallery space until Saturday 15th March, then a selection of prints will be on display at the Golden Fleece from Thursday 20th March.

Work will be on show by artists including Rob White, Nick Chaffe, Rikki Marr, Simon Mitchell, Alex Godwin, Dom Henry, Simon Raven of Backlit and lots of other artists who are way too studio-bound to have anything as unnatural as a website. Come down, have a beer and check it out, just watch out for the metal animals which will be prowling around.
