Hello paradise, what would you like?...

As some of our lovely Golborne Place clients know when I’m not helping to run the Golborne Place Studios I’m in my own studio painting, drawing and sculpting. My work is showing in a fabulous (if I do say so myself) group show in West Hampstead this week. 

Artists include the renowned Japanese artist Miho Sato, graduate of the Royal Academy Jill Mason, current RCA students Dexter Dymoke, Grant Foster and two of The School of Saatchi’s finalists Samuel Zealey and Matt Clark as well as abstract painter Aidan Doherty.

If you fancy taking a peek the show will be open this weekend; Saturday and Sunday 12-5pm. The Kingsgate Gallery is at 110-116 Kingsgate Rd, NW6 2JG.

The private view was a great success and thank you to everyone who managed to make it down.

A Century of Music...

  The Portobello ReCollection is a must see for all music lovers. It is situated towards the end of Portobello Road leading up to Golborne Road and is the part I look forward to most on my daily walk to Golborne Place. You can’t help but look at it, with its artistic presence lying across the 100 metre long wall just waiting to be admired.

The Portobello ReCollection, which is often referred to as the “Wall of Sound” displays a large selection of records starting from the 1910s all the way to the 2010s. The wall of sound chronologically takes you through a 100 year journey of the music most significant to this area.

You can walk by here everyday but still seem to always find a new record to intrigue you, new art to inspire you and gain a deeper understanding into the history and heritage of the area.

An artist in the family...

Benji Vize Harrington, our newest member of the Golbonre Place team, was very happy this week as his younger brother, Joseph Harrington, was awarded 'Artist of the month' by the AACG (Art Alliance for Contemporary Glass).

Escarpment

Joseph has developed a unique casting technique that he calls "lost ice". This process allows him to "harness the movement and transience of ice." In his latest body of work he aims to represent landscapes and structures within them. Joseph says "I focus on Britain’s rugged coastlines and its rural countryside, looking at its erosion as a fascinating spectacle of discovery and generation of form".
