Now showing - Home is where the art is

Currently on show is a collaborative exhibition between local artists and furniture shop BoConcept,

showcasing both original artworks and giclee prints.

 

BoConcept and contributing artists have been working together to raise awareness and funds for Barnardo's.  A charity raffle has been organized which is running until the end of the exhibition, giving you the chance to win a BoConcept tealight holder which each of the exhibiting artists have hand-decorated.  A percentage of the sales generated from the artwork will also be donated to the charity.

On show you can see new work from Drawn in Bristol illustratorsGeorge Chislett,Sophie Rae, Katharina Nyilas and Paul Roberts alongside Bristol artists Dominic Williams, Yasmin Mozafari and Kate Mayfield.

The work will be on display inside the contemporary interior design shop on 23-25 Merchant Street, Bristol until 25th August 2014.

As well as having the opportunity to purchase a print of my forest alphabet and initials on greetings cards I am now selling individual letters in a square frame on a commission basis and names based on commission. The letters and names are available to order both through the exhibition where you can see an example and also through the shuffle showroom on Stokes Croft.

Looking forward to the opening of Into the Forest Exhibition 6.2.14

Hi there - my name is Sacha Beeley, and I'm very happy to say that I'll be helping Katharina with her

exciting new exhibition, Into the Forest. I am a student at the University of Bristol and I have a passion for illustration, which is how I found out about Katharina's beautiful work. I'm trying to get as much experience as possible in the creative world so that I have a chance of getting a job in graphic design next year, where I will be living in Paris and Italy for my third year of a languages degree! You can see some of my work here.

So, in the next couple of weeks I'll be keeping you updated with news about the Into the Forest exhibition, taking place at Hamilton House from the 7th - 13th February with private viewing on the 6th from 6-9pm. 

The exhibition will hold wildlife illustrations concerning the ancient forests in the UK, to celebrate the wonderful eco system our country is home to, and that we must protect! As the focus of the exhibition is the preservation of our ancient forests, there will be complimentary delicious cider provided by Severn Cider who practise conversation and sustainability through the production of their craft cider.

Don't forget, there is also a competition- all you have to do is name the animal and plant beginning with 'F' shown in the F illustration to win it as a limited edition print! Please send answers to knyilas@yahoo.co.uk
