Illustrator Toby Morison has an exhibition of Indian watercolours opening at the Coningsby Gallery in London next week.
The thirty images were painted on the spot in the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Gujaret.
Toby Morison studied at the Royal College of Art. He was a founder member of the influential Big Orange studio and has worked internationally as an illustrator for the past twenty years. He is the author of Little Louis Takes Off (Simon and Schuster 2006).
Toby has always travelled widely - often with a sketchbook as companion. He has an abiding fascination and love for India. These images were painted on streets and from rooftops and balconies - often with a small audience in attendance. From a teeming Delhi through the holy town of Pushkar, to the blue washed city of Jodhpur and the boat building port of Mandvi on the shores of the Arabian Ocean these images reflect the vibrancy, ingenuity, colour and humour of India.
The exhibition runs from 8th March 2010 until 13th March 2010 at The Coningsby Gallery, 30 Tottenham Street, London W1T 4RJ. Website

It was about a year ago that we were at The Bankside Gallery (next to Tate Modern) for the first St. Jude's In The City exhibition. Despite our opening night coinciding with the worst snow in London for 18 years, the show was a resounding success.
We'll be back at The Bankside in November 2010 for a second exhibition - bigger and bolder than before! If you'd like to receive an invitation to the opening night, please sign up for our gallery newsletter.
To find out a little bit more about our 2009 exhibition, here's David Nicholl's piece from The Daily Telegraph Read in full

Our friend Rob Ryan is taking part in an exhibition of paper cut art in New York...
"Slash: Paper Under the Knife takes the pulse of the international art world's renewed interest in paper as a creative medium and source of artistic inspiration, examining the remarkably diverse use of paper in a range of art forms. Slash is the third exhibition in MAD's Materials and Process series, which examines the renaissance of traditional handcraft materials and techniques in contemporary art and design. The exhibition surveys unusual paper treatments, including works that are burned, torn, cut by lasers, and shredded. A section of the exhibition will focus on artists who modify books to transform them into sculpture, while another will highlight the use of cut paper for film and video animations."

Exclusive to St. Jude’s, this three-colour linocut print by Christopher Brown was inspired by a Valentine’s Day card made for his partner last year.
For a limited period we’re offering the print at a reduced price of £85.00 to include free postage in the UK.
Christopher Brown was born in London in 1953 and attended the Royal College of Art where he was introduced to, and eventually assisted, Edward Bawden, the master of the linocut.
For full details, please visit our online print store.

Took a stroll over to Tate Modern yesterday. Whilst the Pop Life show was as bold and brash as expected, Miroslaw Balka's 'box of darkness' (in the Turbine Hall until April 2010) was incredibly moving.

We're hoping to get along to the Dieter Rams exhibition at the Design Museum in the next few days. First became aware of his work through Vitsoe (we've developed a bit of an addiction for his shelving system) though as a kid I remember Dad having one of his Braun alarm clocks.
Particularly like Dieter Rams' Ten Principles of good design:
Good design is innovative.
Good design makes a product useful.
Good design is aesthetic.
Good design makes a product understandable.
Good design is unobtrusive.
Good design is honest.
Good design is long-lasting.
Good design is thorough down to the last detail.
Good design is environmentally friendly.
Good design is as little design as possible.
The exhibition runs at the Design Museum until March 2010 (if you visit before the end of January you'll also be able to see the show about the work of architect David Chipperfield). Here's a film about Rams' work for Vitsoe:

Here's another one-off piece by Ed Kluz which will feature in our Christmas exhibition, opening on Saturday 12th December 2009.
The central image is a relief collage made using paper coloured with gouache and Indian ink.
The surrounding frame is mixed media (china graph crayon, gouache, Indian ink, wax), based on 17th century English 'raised work'.
We'll be adding further images to our gallery website towards the end of the week.
