Maureen © Alex GraceThe Place quietly opened its doors on the 26th of May.
After two months of music and dancing, mingling, coffee drinking, film screenings and fun, it was time to take the creative space one step further by inviting six Artists to participate in The Place's first Exhibition, 'Portraits'.
Stav B, visual artist, performer, director of The Place and Londoner for more than twenty years brings together an eclectic group of artists working within the genre of Portraiture.
The result is a strong group exhibition, exploring interpretations of the Portrait as conceived through the differing mediums of Photography, Painting and Illustration.
"Keeping it simple and going back to basics with no frills, jargon, or futile corporate ambition motivated me to conceive and curate the very first official exhibition at The Place, a unique establishment, accommodating culture, events and art with love, quality and enthusiasm.
PORTRAITS, was the first thing that came to mind, as a representation of the person, the people, the expressions, the character. I wanted to focus on 2 dimensional work and when looking for artists, i was very pleased to have been approached by photographers, painters and illustrators, translating their definition of the portrait via their chosen discipline.
All the artists are super talented and their work manifests exactly that; their love for the face, the lines, the personality. Enjoy them. Many thanks to the artists Sarah, Alex, Atalanta, Zbigniew, Ego and Tasha. Also thank you to Pierre, whose precious help and excellent PR skills, made this exhibition possible." stav B. ©2012
