We were really impressed by Haberdashery London's installation 'Untitled 13' currently on display at Selfridges on Oxford Street, London. Made up of 663 reclaimed columns of Victorian pine wood, steel and red perspex the installation represents a considered, sprawling cityscape.

Lewis Scott’s ‘Transient City’
review by —Emma Holtom (Flavor Pill July 2008)
Since graduating from Central St Martins in design, environment and architecture, Scott has built a reputation as an artist with an eye for urban landscapes. Looking beyond familiar landmarks to the darker, hidden aspects of cityscapes, he draws on the changing skies and weather. Scott's paintings are often heavy on foregrounding; it's as though you're looking at them from behind a wire fence or through gauze. This vantage point creates an eerie distancing effect, also evident in his photos of anonymous night skies.

On Next - July
Main Gallery:
- Andy Wicks and David Northedge - New Paintings
Semi figurative smears and acidic geometric fields combine in Andy Wicks and David Northedge's New Paintings. Both artists articulate a wasted dystopian landscape in which Wicks' liquid thin veils of colour corrupt and obscure floating geometric forms as though we are seeing alien planets through toxic condensation gathered on the window of our bathyscaphe. Northedge's semi abstract islands of slickly smeared silhouettes, scarred surfaces and flat planes of colour, depict an ambiguous junction between the figurative and the abstract. The cultivated application of paint gives his work an attraction which contradicts the apocalyptic subject matter.
Private View and First Thursday: 7th August 6-9pm
Show Runs: 7th - 10th August 12-6pm daily
Vestry Room:
- Fiona Athanassaki - New Paintings
Fiona is a London based painter and this is her follow on exhibition after her successful solo show at the Spitz Gallery in 2006.
She works with a mixture of paint mediums, using traditional techniques such as gilding combined with a variety of other materials to explore their interaction, contrasts and textures producing images radiant with colour and vibrancy. Her painting is influenced by landscape primarily from the Mediterranean. Using simple abstract forms and colour, surfaces are worked on with glazes to build up a layered transparency and to create a sensation of depth. These paintings are explosive experiments into the world of colour.

Main Gallery:
- Gullwing Mary and the Dannevirke Divas
David Le Fleming
David Le Flemming's work for the most part is conceptual in that each piece is hinged with some sort of inherent visual pun. The characters are central to the themes, with close attention to detail being payed to the faces which then peaters out to flat colour fields of the surrounding environment.
Private View: Thursday 21st August 6-9pm R.S.V.P.

EllieMay Logan
The Grotesque Style: ‘…in which parts of human, animal, and plant forms are distorted and mixed…’ (Harper Collins Dictionary 2003)
Inspired by the book ‘Demons, Visions of Evil in Art’ ( by Laura Ward and Will Steeds, Carlton Books) EllieMay is mixing the grotesque style with her 3d paper cut-out style, to delve into the medieval world of monsters. With the wonderful space at DEGREEART GALLERY, EllieMay has produced work especially for the space, recognizing it’s gothic character.
