Art Exhibition

25 April 2012


Newcastle College Creative Industries students have put on a exhibition downstairs, next to our studio building in Blandford Square, Newcastle.  I thought that the exhibition, though small, was very well presented in a simple but stylish way.  For a small space there was quite a quantity of work displayed and a good mix of media.

Upon entry your attention was drawn to a display which as well as being eye catching and attractive gave information about the exhibitors and I'm sure Michelle was enjoying herself more than it looks!







I really liked these screen prints especially the blue one with birds on  a wire.


This photo really made me smile, I love the way the swimming hat resembles the hydranger!
 and this shot with the tapestry shoes camouflaged amongst the tapestry rug is cute.  These two are quite quirky and I love art that evokes a reaction, these just make me smile inwardly!

This screen print reminds me of the famous Banksy picture that features a balloon but a more sophisticated less urban take on it.

These were fun and clever with very few strokes creating the face, like the pink too it somehow makes them more feminine.


These delicate ceramic cups were very pretty, I'd happily have them in my house!





This corner display works well with alot of work being shown in a relatively small corner.  The silk scarves are quirky with crocodiles on them.  The artwork on the walls is displayed beautifully in nice matching frames and placed in patterns.

Overall the exhibition did the college proud.  If my fees weren't so expensive I would happily have parted with money to take some of the exhibits home with me!
