More Exhibition Success

I have recently submitted work for two exhibitions. The first one is in Athens and the second in London. Both events are curated by the famous Art Number 23 at the Old Biscuit Factory In Bermondsey, London.

I have heard today that one of my pieces was chosen to be exhibited in The London based show.

Building on my recent luck, I have also completed an entry to another art completion.

Average Art – November Edition

I was exceptionally successful in terms of having my work published in three consecutive months of June, July and August.

This has encouraged me to enter my work again.

The submitted painting questions the concept of waiting and entrapment in vacuum of life. It portrays a Burmese Captain. His monotonous and repetitive job is to operate a long boat ferry between Ranong in Thailand and Kawthaung in Mayanmar. He spends his days killing time, while chain smoking and occupying himself with his mobile phone. He is withdrawn, totally oblivious to the outstanding beauty of the area and people around him. To maximise space for the passengers, therefore increase profits, he hides himself under a colourful umbrella and crouches on the front of the deck. Continuous exposure to aggressive and scorching sun has resulted in the development of a massive tumour on his ankle.

Average Art Publications

I was exceptionally lucky! My work was chosen for three consecutive months to be published in a national art magazine titled Average Art.

A piece dedicated to a Haitian Girl of Polish descent was featured in the June’s edition.

Title: Girl with Butterflies

A1, mixed media on board.

The second piece is named: Three Haitian Girls. It was printed in July’s series. It’s size is A1, mixed media on board.

The image, which was chosen for the publication in August is titled: Beautiful Stranger. I will update my blog as soon as I receive my copy of the magazine.

Average Art publishes predominantly online. They also produce a soft back catalogue. Unfortunately, the quality of printing is mixed.

The following abstract is from an email, which I received from the editors:

“After receiving hundreds of submissions for the June (July and August) edition of Average Art we are pleased to inform you that your submission has been chosen to be featured in the magazine. The magazine is ‘industry focused’ and will be sent to a number of different art organisations in the hope that the featured artists will gain some recognition for their work.

The magazine will be published on the 15th June and July 2019 and can be bought online here. Pre-orders are available! Remember, we have a call for entries every month and you are more than welcome to submit new work. (check website for details).”
