This CMYK screen print made on 285gsm Fabriano paper, in an
edition of 30 will feature in 2 group shows in the not too
distant future. Graham Crowley has organised a show called 'Silent Disco' which will open on Saturday 29th of July at 87 High
Street, Wickham Market in Suffolk.
Graham's show will also include work by a galaxy of art starts including; Sarah
Dwyer, Sarah Jeffries, Bob & Roberta Smith, and John Strutton. The Adam
& Eve print will also feature in a group show called ‘The Magnificent Seven’ which will take place in the basement
of the Cass Art Shop near Angel tube.
This
show will feature prints, paintings and textile art by me and 6 other
fine artists; Gordon Beswick, Cristina Calvache, Francis Macdonald, Suzanne Spiro,
Chris Tosic, and Loretta Wall. The show will be open the public between the 28th of Aug and the 8th of Sept. More news soon. Team Beswick
and Pye made the painting of Adam and Eve ten years ago. The print was made by
Jonas of Blacklisted Prints. Most museums in Europe have a painting made at least 500
years ago that depicts Adam and Eve. And
most of these paintings show the couple when they are about to be banished for
breaking the rules. By contrast, this painting shows Adam and Eve enjoying the
good times. It's worth noting we didn't make the mistake of painting Eve with a belly button. Adam is the Hebrew word for 'Man'. His companion was made from Adam's
spare rib - her name Eve means "the mother of all living" - amongst
the living creature seen here are; a puffin, a zebra, and my personal favourite
a cheeky monkey.
