Signal Gallery presents: Elinor Evans exhibition ‘Picasso’s Pack’

Gallery Openings/Exhibitions

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

It is only fitting that Elinor Evans’ muse should be her loyal Dalmatian Picasso. He has appeared in many of her works over the years, his benign presence seemingly a calming force in the compositions. In her new solo show at Signal Gallery, she has taken this a step further and developed a distinctly canine theme and called the show Picasso’s Pack.

Since her student days at The Royal College of Art, Elinor has made a point of covering the faces of her human figures with mysterious animal masks. The identity and expressions of these characters are always concealed, leaving us with a distinctly sinister impression of their intensions. In the new show, Picasso’s Pack, all the masks are made by the artist herself and all are of wolves or jackals.

Private View 16th May 6 – 9pm
Opening 17th May – 8th June 2013

Gallery Openings/Exhibitions

Daniel Danger will be having his second show at Cotton Candy Machine this Friday. Amidst old houses dead from the fallout of urban sprawl, railway bridges asleep from neglect, and trees that engulf everything; his work attempts to remind you of something you may have said to someone, or something someone may have said to you; back in that time period thats just too far away to remember clearly, but not so long ago you forgot about it completely. The show will feature a selection of originals, drawings, new prints and fun merchandise.

Opening Event Friday, May 10th from 7 to 11pm

Prints are on sale now HERE.
