I was lucky enough to be a part of the ‘The Ubiquitous Individual’ show at Two Queens Gallery. I answered a piece called destructive behaviour from my body of work which I’ve been working on at the time this piece was made on a canvas which I hand-stretched myself then use stencils which I’d previously cut out. I chose this piece as I felt the colours would really work to stand out at a distance amongst all the other works around. And I also feel like using a portrait of someone makes the viewer want to engage with the piece more and approach the work. I also included my Instagram @moons_the_man which helped me gain exposure and a way for people to connect to me who enjoy my art from this exhibition. I felt the show was very successful on the opening night it was good to see such a large collection of creatives work together to produce a professional show regardless of how broad the spectrum of work shown was. I found it really interesting to see people engage with my work shown and how they interpreted the piece of ‘destructive behaviour’. I thought it was really well positioned amongst other portraits as it creates the standard I line for anyone viewing not only my own work but other creative’s portraits as well.
.Two Exhibition
I also had my work on show at Leicester art gallery as a part of the .two exhibition I decided to use one of my latest prints from my experimentation with screen printing I felt this was a good thing to do as it will showcasing my most current work creating an art crit type of environment between my piers helping me to take away and improve my current practise from comments and discussions had from the work. Again I tried to use one of my most eye-catching pieces with the most colour to stand out and entice any consumer who walked into the gallery space. It was enjoyable to work in a collaborative effort to put up and take down the show This really helped me work on my accuracy with a leveller as these are small points which are overlooked when just going to visit a gallery and I enjoyed being a part of the team putting the show together.
