Serendipity Starts: Open Studio July 15th

Inspired by the fortuitous events of coincidence and fate that seem to invisibly bind our lives, Serendipity Starts will present the artwork of HalfaDozen studio members. The main focus of this collaborative open studio event will be the interconnectedness of events and chance happenings that sometimes govern our creative decisions.

There will be a special live performance by O-ARC fresh from their successful performance at award winning music venue, Green Note in Camden.

The exhibition will present a series of oil paintings, sculpture, photography, aromatherapy products and ceramics as well as new work by our artist-in-residence, John Chapman.

Ritual Union, March 25th at HalfaDozen

With the title, inspired by the song « Ritual Union » by Swedish electronic band, Little Dragon, this art show will present the artwork of Veronika Seifert, Katya Kan, Bridget Lee, Basil Olton, Alicia Pivaro, Edward Griffiths and Takuji Mizutani. The event image incorporates the work (pink, nature-inspired ring) of Seifert in the foreground and that of Kan in the background (golden wedding ceremony).

The main focus of this collaborative open studio space will be that of harmony whether one is to interpret this in communal or individualistic terms. In terms of media, the exhibit presents a series of oil and watercolour paintings, pen and pencil drawings, and sculpture and make-up as well as candle products. The event will likewise be accompanied by live music as well as a stand-up comedy performance by actress and comedian Louisa Robinson. More details on Eventbrite.
