Solo Exhibition, “Non Voyage”, Paintings and Drawings, Tel Aviv

Eliza — Sun, 14 Mar 2021 19:49:03 +0000

Paintings and drawings from my solo show, “Non Voyage” currently showing in The Architects House Gallery in Tel Aviv until the 26th of March 2021. The theme for the show is a journey taken from London to Tel Aviv by a lone cyclist, either male or female: a sort of everyman character who is travelling through a Covid-ridden Europe and Middle East. Politics and practical considerations fade into the background; the only thing that matters is the traveller’s reaction to the empty world they see. These images are not posted in order. The works were made mostly with acrylic and coloured pencil on paper, some drawings were made with charcoal. The works are framed and for sale, they range in size from A3 to around 90 cm wide.

Sometimes I use watercolour, although not very traditionally as I like blocks of bold, individual colour. Here are a few of my watercolour sketches, featuring Hampton Court, Norway, a little village in Spain called Montejaque, and some trees.

Large Scale Paintings on Cardboard

8 large scale paintings of famous cyclists on cardboard which first adorned the entrance to the Spin London bike show in 2017. They were later sold to a private client. I portrayed a series of cyclists chosen in some way for their notoriety, remarkability or particular struggle in the world of cycling: Marco Pantani, “Il Pirata”, Major Taylor, Abdoujaparov, Beryl Burton, Bernard Hinault, Nicole Cooke, Eddy Merckx and – last but not least – Lance Armstrong
