Name: Gullwing Mary and the Dannevirke Divas by David Le Fleming Venue: 30 Vyner Street London E2 9DQ  DegreeArt.com presents David Le Fleming's 2008 Show: Gullwing Mary and the Dannevirke Divas by David Le Fleming 20th August - 8 September 12-6pm daily Private View: 21st August 6-9pm First Thursday: 4th September 6-9pm 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.  |

Name: New Paintngs by Andy Wicks and David Northedge Venue: 30 Vyner Street London E2 9DQ  7th - 10th August 12-6pm daily Private View and First Thursday: 7th August 6-9pm 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. |

Name: New Paintings by Fiona Athanassaki Venue: The Vestry Room 30 Vyner Street London E2 9DQ  7th - 10th August 12-6pm daily
Private View and First Thursday: 7th August 6-9pm 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. |

Backed by a lottery grant and several high profile donors, Roots and shoots has recently moved to a new, ecologically sound, solar- powered building in Lambeth.

Name: 33% Pork Venue: The Empire Gallery  A Group Show Curated by DegreeArt.com Artist Robert Leech Featuring Guy Bourner, Nicky Cavell, Robert Leech and Rachel Potts Opening Night: Thursday 2nd August 2007 6-9pm
in conjunction with TimeOut's First Thursdays The Empire Gallery
30 Vyner STreet London E2 9DQ Curated by Robert Leech, 33% Pork is the third in a series of shows dedicated to an extended idea of painting. Featuring four artists who's work is bright, bold and positive, the show explores, paint, material and colour as well as their possible cultural spin-offs. The show's title references ideas about the purity of paint, but treats it as more of a backdrop than a framework. Exploring paint's ability to mimic itself the work sits somewhere amongst gaudy, stylish and thoughtful. Featuring 2-dimensional work alongside liquid sculpture, velvet-lined boxes and digital imagery, the show brings paint away from the canvas, undermining the medium and celebrating it at the same time. |
