Solo exhibition at Curzon Cinema Retail Unit, part of Curzon Centenary. Fantastic to meet everyone who came down. Great to get old work out and mix it with the new.

Smiley Face Campaign

I am collecting naturally formed smiley faces that beautifully pop up in day to day life. Like the one above that surprised me when I opened a jam jar one morning.

If you find any please send them to me to add to my face library via emmawilson930@googlemail.com

RWA: IVOR ABRAHAMS


Gardens
Work shows suburbia as a mysterious, solemn place. There is something very disturbing about the perfectly presented English lawns. Each print leads into an unknown, into a shadow, vanishing around a corner or into the distance. It is mundane and familiar but as if Alice is about to tumble down a hole. The garden sculptures hold a similar feel. They relate to kitsch culture but also have a privacy and a scene of grandiosity about them.

Cityscapes
Where as the garden images was already formed and did not require distortion the urban inspired pieces have images formed by the Artist, mixed, collarged and very hand made. The recognisable objects and imagery draw us into the work that it is never purely abstract. All the work is highly playful and experimental, it is very inspiring and joyous to see. It has a very cubist feel. His work explores a balance between sculpture and painting.

This exhibition is a sketch book celebration of Abrahams work. It is a challenge to realise what is a finished piece and what is an experiment leading to a more polished finished, perhaps it is both. There is the opportunity to compare and see piece in close proximity to each other. For some, including myself it may too claustrophobic and difficult to appreciate a print or sculpture singularly.

Event - Whiteladies Picture House

‘Behind the Scenes’ at The Whiteladies Picture House is a series of video blogs documenting 


the work being undertaken by all involved in the campaign to renovate the Whiteladies Picture 


House. Episodes will include everything from the history of the building and Bristol’s cinema


heritage, to the exciting plans for the future and everything in between. The community of Bristol 


is integral to the success of this project and we would like to involve you all as much as 


possible.



As a result, The Whiteladies Picture House invites you to share your memories and aspirations 


for one of Bristol’s most iconic buildings. On Sunday the 12th of February we shall be in front of 


The Whiteladies Picture House from 9:30 until 4, and we are looking for people to appear on 


camera and share their thoughts for our first upcoming video blog ‘Bristol’s People’. This is an 


opportunity to share your past experiences of the Picture House, and we will be on hand to 


answer any questions you may have. We are looking for as much support as we can gather, so 


that we can secure the building as soon as possible and allow everyone to see inside. So 


please tell your friends and come down and see us.
