A group exhibition featuring the work of Stephen Walter is currently on show at Danielle Arnaud Contemporary Art. Titled Enclosure, it focuses on 6 contemporary artists and their exploration of ideas around utopian dreams, containment and escape.

Among the artworks on display is Stephen's extraordinary original drawing, Nova Utopia, which is being exhibited in its bespoke hagioscope frame. This map revisits Thomas More's famous fictional state of Utopia a century after it has been transformed by a capitalist revolution.

Tobias Till | Oranges and Lemons

Tobias Till | Oranges & Lemons | 2013 | Limited edition lino-cut print
Edition of 50 | Signed and editioned by the artist | 112 x 229 cm

Tobias Till's latest work is an incredibly detailed view of London which condenses an abundance of fascinating imagery and history about the city into an image based around the classic nursery rhyme 'Oranges and Lemons.' Within the print figures and buildings from different historical periods have been illustrated side by side, creating multiple narratives and capturing the incredible character and diversity of London's history.

This project has taken 18 months to realise. In this time the artist has undertaken a vast amount of research and preparatory drawings, finally hand printing the image in 7 colours, using 5 separate colour blocks. 

Adam Bridgland | TREASURE

The Gallery, Idea Store Whitechapel
321 Whitechapel Rd, London E1 1BU

Adam Bridgland will present an ambitious new project at the Idea Store, Whitechapel, next month. The artist has created two large monochrome murals inspired by twentieth-century postcards of London, which visitors are invited to 'colour in' over the course of two July workshops. The exhibition is curated by Matthew Reeves.

A beautifully bound portfolio of ten A2 screenprints, from which the designs of the two wall paintings are taken, will be available to purchase in a limited edition of forty sets plus five artist’s proofs.

The London Sale at Christie's

 


A collection of fantastic London-related lots have been on display at Christie's South Kensington over the summer and went under the hammer this afternoon for The London Sale. There was a lot of interest in the room and online, and a real buzz to the proceedings, which saw Tobias Till's London A-Z achieve £10,000 and Stephen Walter's London Subterranea £7,500. We'd like to congratulate them both!

Other highlights included a double-decker Routemaster bus, which achieved £67,250, and Simon Patterson's 'The Great Bear' which featured in our Art of Mapping exhibition last year and fetched £25,000. We recommend looking through the full catalogue for a wonderful array of exhibits.

Tobias Till at Medcalf, Exmouth Market

We've installed a selection of Tobias Till's linocut prints in the Medcalf Bar and Restaurant, Exmouth Market. For the next few months you can view his complete 'London A-Z' series as well as individual prints of the 'Westway' and 'Red Arrows.'

Till's 'London A-Z' depicts a series of views of the capital city: one for each letter of the alphabet from the Albert Memorial to London Zoo. His latest print, 'Red Arrows,' shows a flypast by the famous Royal Airforce Aerobatic Team (an unusually familiar sight this Jubilee year), while his 'Westway' print captures the frenetic character of this key transport route into the city.

London is firmly in the spotlight this summer and this is a great opportunity to enjoy Tobias Till's impression of the city, over a drink, waiting for the Olympics crowds to disperse...!

This is the latest in a series of exhibitions at Medcalf curated by TAG Fine Arts.
