HELEN SEAR: Two Events, Two Cities, Two Days

Tonight, at The Photographer's Gallery in London, Gost Books launches its inaugural publications; including Brisées by Helen Sear.

The publication launch date is no coincidence. It coincides with 'Lure' a major solo exhibition, of recent and new artwork at the Oriel Davies Gallery in Wales (UK); opening with a reception on February 2nd. In the gallery catalogue, it's stated:

"One of Wales' most important and insightful artists, Helen's pratice is characterized by her exploration of the crossover between photography and fine art, her focus on the natural world and the startling beauty of her work."

In addition to sculpture, film and installations, two bodies of work that will be on show in the exhibition, are Sightlines and Pastoral Monuments. These exquisite photographs were exhibited here at the gallery in September–October, 2012. If you missed that exhibition, the artworks are available to view by appointment and we highly recommend making an acquisition.

Sightlines, Untitled 4 (2011) Edition: 3+1AP

Pastoral Monument 6, Daucus Carota (2012) Edition: 3+2AP's

DUMBO 1st Thursday Gallery Walk

Give The Gift Of Art

The gallery will be open until 9:00pm on Thursday, December 6th

Over the past several years, this monthly event has steadily grown in popularity. This month, there are approximately 22 exhibitions/performances to visit, with the critical mass centered on the gallery building where Klompching Gallery is located.

More details about the gallery walk can be found here.

This month, it's a great opportunity to catch our current exhibition, of outstanding photographs by John Blakemore, before the show closes on the 22nd of December. If you haven't had a chance to visit it yet, we really do recommend it. Blakemore's photographs are on offer from a very conservative $1,500, and would make an excellent addition to any collection.

We look forward to seeing you!
