Abandoned Hope - Preview
September 4th, 2008
What’s good peeps?
I present to you a 3 of 6 part preview of a piece entitled ‘Abondoned Hope’ that I’ve been working on for a couple of months now. I know you may be thinking “a couple of months?…How long does a painting take?” But the way I work is that I’ll start a painting and then get bored of it and put it aside. So I have numerous paintings that I’m working on at all times. More pics after the jump.
Thank you for all your comments.
T.Magic Solo Exhibition September 2008
September 1st, 2008
“Loaded With Meaning” is an independent solo exhibition mounted by one of the UK’s most colourful talents, T.Magic. It takes place from September 26, 2008, until October 5, 2008, at The Loading Bay Gallery, Old Truman Brewery, London and features over forty new works consisting of original paintings, photography, sculptures and silk-screens.
Pieces in the show explore Magic’s dark social commentary. His theme: the London Council Estate. Drawing inspiration from experiences growing up in what the 24-year-old street artist describes as ‘The Black Hole,’ which he feels is a distinct and unknown territory isolated from the rest of society. “It’s a world of the displaced where no-one from outside enters and where the inhabitants stay; an area synonymous - in the public mind - with poverty, crime and ethnic conflict.”
A pivotal aspect of the self-proclaimed therapists works is the idea of escapism from such harsh realities. His unique style of art exalts in the power of colour, contrast and composition.
After two successful exhibitions at The Air Gallery in Mayfair - along with counting Jay-Z and Pharrell Williams as fans of his art - T.Magic’s work is internationally recognized as some of the most interesting and thought-provoking contributions to the contemporary art scene of recent times.
