Mixed Media Exhibition

19th August 10

‘A Working Coalition’
Lee Cheneler, Gavin Frankcom, Jennifer Sinclair

August 19th - August 22nd
Private View: 5pm - 8pm Wednesday August 18th

As with the current political landscape in which we find unusual and unexpected partnerships ‘A Working Coalition’ has brought together three artists with which you may find more differences than similarities. However what ties them together is a view and outlook with their creative practice that is open to influence and discussion from all areas of contemporary art and to ignore the boundaries that form between disciplines.
The exhibition will include painting, drawing, photography, sculpture and video installations.

Lee Cheneler
For this exhibition Lee has produced a series of manipulated digital images in which he explores the human body. Lee currently lives and works in Brighton.

Gavin Frankcom
Exploration of space is the primary motif of Gavin’s work that crosses media including video, performance, drawing and sculpture. In this exhibition he will be showing a range of work that primarily focuses on the idea of the Romantic Landscape. Gavin currently is studying at
Nottingham Trent University.

Jennifer Sinclair
In this series Jennifer Sinclair worked in oils and graphite using anonymous found photographs as a starting reference. Although the drawings are also finished images, the graphite image creates a new reference point on which to build a full colour character. Jennifer currently is studying at Brighton University.
