Word To Mother - 'Til the Hot Runs Cold'



Now showing at the Stolen Space gallery is a show from Word To Mother titled 'Til the Hot Runs Cold'. The show is to run until the 16th of July, words for Stolen Space below...
"‘Til The Hot Runs Cold…’ opening on the 23rd May will showcase new works by the artist Word To Mother. This much anticipated solo show, his second at StolenSpace, will feature paintings in mixed media on wood, canvas, found objects and installation pieces.

Word to Mother's craft is unlike any others, blending an organic warmth with his compulsive sketch book drawing and city life observations, absorbing the everyday; architecture, social situations, drinking tea and the deliberation of retaining artistic integrity whilst being commercially successful. His canvases are found wood sourced from the beaches of his birth place Hastings or the discarded wealth of weathered objects found of the streets of East London where he now lives and works. These recent paintings feature pattern work interspersed with diamonds, hearts and characters deliberating daily life in an unforgiving city environment (more...)"
More information and pictures of the work on display can be found on the Stolen Space site.
