To Kick start the summer, London Miles are very excited to announce our next
exhibition titled Literal.eyes. An all-new group show that takes a closer
look at the content found inside the dusty book covers of iconic written
works by great literary masters. Whether inspired by a novel, poem, or a
poignant phrase from their chosen literary piece, 30 artists from across
Europe are recreating how they visually and literally interpret their all
time favourite piece of narrative into a painting. Iconic writers whose
narratives are being recreated include the all famous children’s
favourite and cartoonist Dr. Seuss to our very own national literary hero;
William Shakespeare. Artists have chosen pieces of literature from a
broad range of authors, as well as foreign writers relevant to their
home origin. Some examples include, digital painter Tom Bagshaw who
will recreate ‘A Midsommers Night Dream’ by Shakespeare, Nom Kinnear
King paints ‘The House of Sprits’ by Isabel Allende and Camilla D’Errico
takes inspiration from the Opera “Aida” by Giuseppe Verdi. The show opens in an all new gallery space in East London!!
Opening on Thursday, May 12th 2011 from 6pm to 11pm. Location: 65 Hanbury Street. Shoreditch. EI 5JP READ MORE
