| RHIANNON ADAM "Times Gone By" A Collection of Polaroid Images 4TH APRIL - 30TH MAY 10 |
 |
|
Rhiannon Adam is a young British Polaroid photographer, originally hailing from Cork, Ireland. She studied Art and Design at Central Saint Martins College of Art and English at the University of Cambridge. Till
her early teens, she lived on a yacht, sailing around the world with
her parents. Rhiannon
began taking Polaroid photographs aged15, after being given a cheap
plastic Polaroid camera and a large quantity of free film. Since then,
she hasn't looked back. These days, Rhiannon exclusively shoots on
Polaroid film, thus avoiding any kind of digital manipulation. Integral to Rhiannon's work is the physical properties of the Polaroid as object. A Polaroid image is held in our hands moments after it was shot. It becomes a part of the time where it was taken. Its very presence often provokes a conversation. Sometimes the picture collects dust or sand in the corners as it dries, or it plays host to a sweaty thumb print- it is a physical relic, or souvenir of a person, place or time. In this way, a Polaroid can tread a fine line between accuracy and romanticism. Each one of Rhiannon's Polaroids is a physical marriage between objective and subjective experience. In 2008, the Polaroid corporation ceased production of all instant photographic materials. Since then, Rhiannon has worked towards promoting Polaroid as an artistic medium in its own right- somewhere between photography and fine art. Her work has most recently been featured in The Shot of the Day Polaroid book, Dazed and Confused, Tickl magazine, Girls Like Us, Colors, F-Stop magazine, Dagens Naeringsliv, and Playground's second Polaroid Day book. Her pictures can also be seen on the cover of Letting Up Despite Great Faults' latest album. This collection of images forms a small selection of Polaroids shot between 2004 and 2010 on an SX-70 camera, a Polaroid 180 camera and a Polaroid 600SE. For more, please visit: T: +44 779 253 4175 |

MAURICIO PAEZ
"One eye sees, the other feels..." Ignoring feelings, we will miss the chance to be in tune with our whole being. |
| MAURIZIO MOLIZANE "Connections & Relationships" 6th Jan - 7th Feb 10 |
|
|
|
This exhibition is the first solo exhibition of my recent work. This project has been developed in 2009 and still going on with new people taking their time to pose for my series of portraits and interpretation of all kinds of relationships. My name is Mauricio Molizane and I have being studying photography for the last three years , I just got my degree and put together my first solo exhibition.This series focus on portraits of friends and their interpretation on the subject. My Technique is straight forward , I take pictures of the people on studio or location and then take pictures of different textures and details of things I see , and find use to blend with the portraits. I have tried different techniques and this results you can see and judge for yourself and hope you enjoy as much as I did in produce this. Mauricio Molizane |

I make
collages and ink drawings using a mixture of found imagery, dip-nib pen and ink
and my own demented imagination. My work
is born out of a love of line work and collage, a fascination with archaic
imagery and a tendency towards enjoyably dark pictures. Nearly all
of my work is figurative and comprised of totemic or iconographical
combinations of human, animal, plant and mineral forms drawing on, but rarely
literally depicting, mythological beings, Victorian freak-shows, antiquated
scientific study and my own mental noise and various half-baked flights of
fancy. I'm
inspired by many folk, especially Max Ernst and the Surrealists, and I work
with an eye to taking a peek at unknown regions of our human make-up whilst
provoking a bit of dark humour and perchance a slight self-recognition in the
viewing hordes. Original
ink drawings, screen prints and archival quality digital prints will be
available, several of which will be exclusive to First Out for the duration of
the show. |

SONALLE PHOTOGRAPHY |
|
|
|
Research for this project began in early 2009. The images were produced from May to July 2009. The images will tour London and nationally from August 2009 until August 2010. The project was funded by The Arts Council and UNLTD. Artist Statement As an Indian British-born female, I am aware of the difficulties of coming out in ethnic minority societies. Families members and friends often suffer due to their own narrowmindedness and this leads to hurting or rejecting the person coming out. Education and increasing awareness can help develop more openess and understanding whilst reducing internal conflicts. Representational portraits of ethnic minority lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals are combined with text transcribed from interviews describing their coming out process. Subjects are at different stages of the coming out process; some have already come out, some are in the process of coming out and some are thinking about coming out. The individuals photographed are from a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds.Some subjects requested full anonymity so powerful photos had to be taken whilst hiding their identity. They were asked to choose an expressive part of the body, which was then photographed, experimenting with the natural light available. Digital media was used to allow the subjects to see the photos immediately. This helped them trust the photographer and allowed for them to criticise and choose the images for the exhibition. This exhibition will: 1. provide people of ethnic minority who are unsure of their sexuality, experiences to relate to,which could also increase their self-esteem. 2. increase the public's understanding of ethnic minority non-heterosexuals 3. increase the understanding of the heterosexual ethnic minority people by giving them an insight of the difficulties of sexuality 4. allow people who may not be familiar with documentary photography to experience the work by exhibiting the images in public spaces. Artist Biography "Communicating what is frequently left unsaid; to deliver an insight into that detail we may not always perceive, or that we sometimes try to ignore" Sonalle thirsts for a deeper knowledge and understanding of universal life and society.
She travelled alone for almost ten years through Europe, Asia and Latin America observing and participating in the kaleidoscope of cultures and sights encountered. Now driven by the desire to transform her journey, Sonalle is progressing, through her photographic narrative, in order to communicate what is frequently left unsaid; to deliver an insight into that detail we may not always perceive, or that we sometimes try to ignore. Sonalle has worked alongside numerous successful photographers in New York and Paris, coupled with developing several diverse photographic projects in selected cities worldwide.Since her recent return to London, Sonalle has assisted Magnum Photographer, Mr. Chris Steele-Perkins, whilst creating many thought-provoking and issue-based assignments that have raised public consciousness.

STEVE EDWARDS |

My
work is centered around masculinity and the idea of the absent father.
My current font of inspiration and image source is the internet and the
low-fi displays of manhood to be found there. I am drawn to the ways in
which men choose to portray themselves in this virtual arena, from the
intimate/confessional to the codified/fetishised. I have been an artist printmaker for ten years. I help run a collective studio called East London Printmakers in Hackney. I have worked in many printmaking methods, but I am currently interested in etching and lino cut. I love the rigour, craft and hands-on nature of printmaking. When working the surface of a plate I try to utilise methods that are partly out of my control. |

AGAMEMNON OTERO A Selection of Original Paintings, one off Silk Screens, |
|
|
|
Agamemnon Otero's bold and immediate paintings have been making an impact on both sides of the Atlantic. Born in Uruguay, raised in New York and now resident of London. His love of nature, the human form and of imagery that uplifts have made him popular with private collectors and hospitals' public art collections. Less mechanical recordings of his subject and more iconic representations of a larger whole, combined with searing use of colour, the overall effect of Otero's paintings is to share with the viewer the intensity of his life experience within a joyful and engaged pictorial space. ARTIST STATEMENT "The images & tones I work with derive from natural phenomenon. Nature's vivid colours and untamed geometry guide my painting. I distil the physical world that inspires me staying close to my subject, while invoking its energetic pulse. I am fascinated by the space in-between, the crack amidst the physical and metaphysical." Agamemnon Otero Entry, like your spirit, is free |

JAMIE McCLEOD
"CRIMINAL LOVER" |
|
|
|
Exhibition by Jamie Mcleod at First Out Café, 52 St. Gilles High st, London WC2, commencing on Tues Dec the 2nd at 7 pm. Until the 4th of Jan 2009 with a performance by Jeremy Reed and the Itchy Ear.
The Criminal Lover exhibition is a contuation of the Lost Boys
exhibiton I had previously at First Out and it is a homage to the
currency of youth and the lost and found boys that maybe once were us
or who pass us on the street. It celebrates the renters, the addicts,
the criminally sick, the beautiful, the angelic, the evil, the
god-sent, and the iconic. The exhibition is about the labyrinth of the
city and its dark pleasures and how a man can get lost in her razzle -
dazzle of charms and excess to maybe never return. You will also find
the spirit of Genet, Burroughs, Marc Almond and Joe Dellasandro amongst
the unknown faces, the so called "nobodies" that Mcleod lovingly turns
into "somebody" It
is a collection of photos and candy coloured defaced screen-prints that
are all highly attractive to the eye but with closer inspection reveal
a love for all things dark and forbidden. He seems to soil what was a
very pop image and to defile it with his imagination. Mcleod says "I'm
interested in the semiotics of the city, it's bombardment of stimuli
and decoding it and my obsessions within these realms. I use bodies,
faces, masks, poetry, dreams, neon signs, road signs, poison labels,
cinematic narrative and song lyrics to compose and inspire my images. I
conjure up my desires from the twinkling lights and the neon signs and
the faces and characters that brush into my space" The opening night will have a special performance at 7.30 pm from the re-known poet and performer Jeremy Reed and the Itchy Ear performing Piccadilly Bongo and Nifty Jim. "Mcleod
established himself through making portraits of pop luminaries, pin -
ups and underground rock'n roll stars now he has trained his evil eye
on printmaking, inspired by the world of the male gigolo. Boys faces
are craftily defaced using taboo symbols, sex adverts, and slogans
taken from sources which include song lyrics, crime-scene police tape
and poison labels. The result is pop - cum - poetic - images in the
best tradition of British based iconoclasm from Seditionaries to Banksy
" Caroline Roux ( the GAURDIAN ) "JAMIE
IS AN ARTIST WHO BRINGS OUT THE PUNK IN MY SOUL! WETHER ITS POP
VAUDEVILLE, NEO GLAM OR SIMPLY MAKING ME LOOK GOOD, JAMIE HAS THE EYE.
THAT'S WHY I LOVE WORKING WITH HIM." Marc Almond "Jamie
Mcleod sees the glamour in the squalor and the squalor in the glamour.
His is a world of reversed images and role-play, of punks, pimps,
hustlers and down-and-dirty pop icons. And everyone he photographs
looks fantastic." Paul Burston "Time Out |

RODNEY BAILEY Graffiti |

|
This collection of artwork is Rodney Bailey introduction to the lesbian and Gay community. He is pleased to be showing What a Mess, part of the Graffiti collection .in First out cafe.
The significance of the work maps his experience of coming out, moving to south London and going out on the scene.Through mixed mediums, Rod relates his experiences of disappointment, anger and frustration then changing to taking responsibility through action to create opportunity leading to victory over violence through his Art. Rods work doesn't settle in conferential styles or on a set formula or genre but explores the idea of freedom and breaking conventions the link in all this work is discovering what lies beneath.

SOHEILA KEYANI |

I was brought up with colour, energy and food as my main influences. In autumn, as children, under the guise of visiting our neighbor we would pop in next door knowing we'd always be offered Sharon fruit from the ever abundant tree - shades of deep orange, fleshy and juicy. In spring, streets are wildly ablaze with pink and white blossoms. In winter, clear moon-lit sky reflecting on the vibrant white snow, creates a cosy romantic atmosphere. In spring, we ate the first of fruits before they became ripe, green crunchy, velvety almonds - in winter we warmed our hands with freshly cooked deep red, juicy beetroot from the streetseller. In summer in the fruit orchard, while adults rested from the heat, we played and watched the shivering, shimmering sun rays in the transparent air. My paintings are all about colour, texture, and energy in motion - impressions of all things I see, hear and feel, from past, present and future. And now as a practicing artist, I teach people what I have learnt through experimenting and being encouraged. That we are all innately creative. My work is to enable people discover their own unique way of creating, be it via painting, drawing or making a piece of art.

Paul -Anthony Smith's work is a continuing journey of self discovery and he often incorporates the spirit of belonging. He was worn in England of Jamaican descent and was raised in Canada.

| EDWIGE BERNANOCE "LOVE HAS NO LAW" photographs 4th November - 9th December 07 |
 |
| Edwige G Bernanoce is part of a new generation of photographers blurring the demarcartion between photography and conceptual art. Bernanoce 's vision passes through the superficial. With childlike intensity, she transforms the commonplace, creating images the intercept dream and reality. Showing in the Cafe - Apparition is a wish to delay forgetfulness, to keep memory. Using the prism of a derelict factory, Bernanoce invites the viewer to reflect on the fragility of his or her existence. The black and white stills of now defunct machinery harken to a time of industrious productivity. Drifting through the remains, a hunting figures ask us - what will become when we are traces on other people's memories? Showing in the Bar - The latest work " Love has no Law", offers a different take on love and desire within gay relationships. Avoiding traditional gender stereotypes, Bernanoce uses compositions of faceless mannequins to illustrate the diversity of attraction. Their blank canvas allows the viewer to project onto them their emotional experiences. Looking closely, the viewer sees these inert statues come alive, as in a dream. Viewers will be surprised by these sensual and evocative photographs: a thought-provoking insight into the elusive nature of memory and love. http://www.egbernanoce.com/ |

NICK MOSIENKO
OIL PAINTINGS 7th October - 3rd November 07
|
 |
| This exhibition encompasses work produced since arriving in France, up to the present moment, and traces the development of the constant discoveries, both physical and emotional, engendered by a new environment and a new life direction. My work is non-figurative, and I usually work in oils on canvas. I find inspiration from the impressions engendered by my environment, (landscape, light, time of day, weather, seasons, architecture, nature) or by a particular place at a certain time, and some times by my own experiences and feelings at the time I create the work. My work could be said to be representational in the sense of it being an interpretation of the many aspects that inspire me - a combination of the physical and the emotional. nickmos202000@yahoo.co.uk |
| GAVIN LUKER "CONCENTRIC SQUARES" A SERIES OF OIL PAINTINGS 12th AUGUST - 6th OCTOBER 07 |
 |
Gavin Luker is a London based artist who graduated from the Sir John Cass School of Art. His work is known for its aesthetic quality and underlying reflective message. He draws inspiration from contrast in light, tone and dimensions and aims to inspire the viewer to see not only what it is obvious but also what is not. "Concentric Squares" The deliverately simple geometric patterns are focused around a common centre. The basic use of colour of each painting is different and limited only by the infinite posibility of colours of the spectrum. Here you can see how subtle but clear changes in colour and tone add volume and depth to the painting. The viewer is drawn into the centre of the painting thus helps the mind focus on the task ahead. As each painting is different, so too are the unique qualities of the individual viewer. As with this set of paintings which work together, the audience is encouraged to see the enormous potential of jointly working as a team. On their own each painting is just an abstract emotion, however together they are a group which extends and works as one collaboration. |
|
ESZTER RADAK PAINTINGS 23rd July 07 - 11th August 07 |
 |
| At first glance, Eszter Radak's art creates a seductive, figurative world of colourful everyday objects and distinctive Central European landscapes. But there is more to these shining displays of feminine domesticity and picture book reality than cute pink houses and washing machines to die for. Eszter's sardonic titles slice through the apparent femininity of her work, proclaiming a lethargic resistence of the never depicted "I" behind the works to her life in the duller world of reality. Meanwhile, her strikingly figurative approach is subverted by the abstract colours and textures of the paint as they vie to steal the viewer's gaze from the depictions we are automatically drawn towards. Eszter is a lecturer in painting at Budapest's Academy of Art and is currently one of the most sought - after painters in her native Hungary. Her work has already been aquired by modern art museums like the Ludwig Museum in Budapest and the Lentos Museum in Austria and her work has been shown around the world in cities from New Delhi to Paris and Berlin. |

We Must Forget that She is Beautiful,
"We Must Forget that She is Beautiful" is a play on identity and gender, drawing on the work of surrealist painter René Magritte. The series is a search for new meanings, bringing forth an inverted landscape of reflective human forms and desire. Inviting to modern muses and diverse looks, these portraits challenge the traditions of the male gaze in surrealist art |
