October Gallery presents Forest Figures, a much-anticipated solo exhibition of new works by Alexis Peskine. This, the artist’s third show at October Gallery, will intersect with the 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair, taking place at Somerset House, in London, from 10th – 13th October.
Artist Ney will be leading school workshops this term in response to Alexis Peskine's Forest Figures exhibition. In these workshops we will be looking at portraits, shadows through the exploration of materiality, tone perspective and sculpture. There are so many techniques considered during the making process to make the different layers of the final artwork - this way of making will be explored throughout our upcoming workshops.
