The Art of Beach Cleaning
EXHIBITIONS
EYE OF THE BEHOLDER
28 March - 4 April 2022
I am delighted to be taking part in this group show with ArtCan, curated by Catherine Sweet.
The show is free to visit at 508 Gallery on the Kings Road, Chelsea, London.
The show title alludes to the maxim that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder and the exhibition offers the response of over thirty artists.
As usual, my work questions what we perceive to be beautiful, by creating an appealing seascape from environmental pollutants.
I am showing a triptych titled "Ocean of Plastic", made from an assortment of discarded waste plastic netting, a detail of which appears of this flyer, created by ArtCan.
