​Making a great impression.

A regular feature of East London’s autumn calendar, Espacio Original Print Fair goes from strength to strength.

17 talented artists are coming together for this exciting exhibition of works on paper produced by traditional printmaking methods. The two floors of Espacio gallery will be full of original hand pulled prints to suit all tastes, from representational works to pure abstract, made from a variety of processes including etchings, linocuts, woodcuts, collagraphs and silk screenprints. As well as the cornucopia of work on show, there will be information on the techniques used and an opportunity to meet the printmakers themselves.  

Now in its 8th year, the Print Fair is always a wonderful occasion and the perfect opportunity to purchase original affordable art. As well as the framed works in the exhibition, there will be unframed and small prints suitable for perfect Christmas gifts.

Hyperspectral - An Exhibition of Light
25 November - 1 December 2019
Private View: Thursday 28 November 6-9pm

​Nearly all objects in the universe emit, reflect or transmit some light. It is the basis for our vision and the energy required to sustain life on earth. 

By exploring a wide range of themes from color to the lack of it, brightness and shadows, perception and transformation, source of power and a mysterious force, the artists express the theme conceptually and share their light with others.

Raw Perspectives
3-8 December 2019
Private View: Tuesday 3 December 6:30 - 9pm
First Thursdays Performances: Thursday 5 December 7-9pm

Raw Perspectives brings together the work of 14 painters, photographers, sculptors and 4 performance artists who explore the definition and complexity of what it is to be ‘masculine’ in today’s society.

This exhibition encourages dialogue on the validity of the continuing stranglehold on today’s culture and how the nude male body still remains behind almost impenetrable walls of censorship and taboo. This exhibition invites us into the intimate space between artist and subject; to look beneath appearances and challenges masculine identify and the suppression of masculinity and denial of expression of beautiful, erotic, raw, vulnerable emotions that define us today.

Exhibiting Artists:
Pit Ca, Jane Clatworthy, Brian Dennis, Phyllis Dupuy, Kennedy Grant, 
Mark Ho, Stuart Howitt, Martin Ireland, Christopher James Murphy,
Sally Shrubsall, Ivor George Sexton, Chrissy Thirlaway, 
Dante Turner, Georg Meyer-Wiel

Performers:
Giacomo Pini, Jeyseelan Thirukkumaran, Antonio & Riccardo

This exhibition includes three performance pieces which will enrich the exhibition across creative disciplines between performance and visual arts for the East London Gallery 1st Thursday events on Thursday 5th December, 7-9pm. 

Two life drawing workshops will be running in the lower gallery on Saturday 7th Dec between 2-6pm. Workshops will be £10. 
All materials will be supplied by the exhibition, supplied by Great Art supplies.

This exhibition is supporting Entelechy Arts, a charity that works alongside people who have often been invisible and un-regarded members of their communities, either because of disability, underlying health conditions or the ageing process.

This exhibition has been supported by James Smiths & Sons Ltd and Robert Bridgewater.

We search for the real truth, just give us the truth.

let us be brothers and sisters every human.
Let's live into the light.

The Drawn Chorus Collective
​17-23 August 2020

Drawn Chorus is a collective of illustrators creating original exhibitions with a twist of something a little special.

It all began with 19 illustrators aiming to show original and affordable work with that little something extra. Our shows aim to draw you into our fantastical and unique world and we won't stop until we do!

With new, up and coming talent, together, our works create a fabulous, melodic whole. We are the Drawn Chorus!
