About

FLUX EXHIBITION -  THE NATIONAL ARMY MUSEUM CHELSEA
 
Discover the big names of tomorrow at FLUX Exhibition 14th – 17th March 2019
 
Private View: March 14th 18.30 – 21.30
 
FLUX Exhibition is London’s leading exhibition to discover the most talented, dynamic painters, sculptors and performance artists.  FLUX has established itself as the platform for contemporary artists to be discovered and to be part of an exceptional, inspirational art event. On display at the National Army Museum in Chelsea, London and curated by Lisa Gray, the founder of FLUX, this much anticipated edition brings over 100 artists to the fore. Gray has hand selected the very best emerging and established artists for a four-day event.

FLUX opening party comes alive with musical guests, performance art and site specific installations which complement the work and bring a new experimental approach to the exhibition.

The show represents an opportunity to gain access to a vast and diverse group of gifted artists, on the path to being the big names of tomorrow, showcasing international talent in a collaborative, inclusive show. FLUX celebrates artists on the precipice of wider accolade and fame. 

Guest Artist – Charles Salvador formerly known as Charles Bronson
To help highlight art as therapy we will be exhibiting 12 artworks, arguably his best work to date by Charles Salvador in respect of his favourite artist Salvador Dali (and formerly known as Charles Bronson). Salvador is one of the highest-profile criminals in Britain and has been featured in books, interviews, and studies in prison reform and treatment. 

Salvador has spent 44 years in prison, nearly 40 years of which were in solitary confinement. During this time, he has had 22 books published, won 5 Koestler awards for his art and poetry and raised over half a million for charity.  He believes art has helped him become a better person and he depicts his struggles, experiences of daily life in prison, the violence, the inhumanity, the brutality, the madness and creativity of a complicated mind. 

Mini Masterpieces Under £300

The exhibition will also be featuring the unique, Mini-Masterpieces where smaller artworks by FLUX artists can be purchased for £300 or less. A great way for a new collector to invest in art at a fraction of the price of artists' normal sized works.

Artists Include:-

ROSEMARY HURRELL

Inspired by traditional embroidery Hurrell’s work gravitates towards abstraction using contemporary free motion machine embroidery on soluble material which is then dissolved. The resulting embroidery is moulded into three dimensional forms. Incorporating the exploration of landscape, environment and curiousity of inherited DNA, it communicates a visual representation into the integrated complexities between the union of perceived and true reality.

The sculptures represent strength and fragility creating an interconnection between delicacy and lightness, whilst including an emotional tone of unfolding and unravelling of memory, building connections between past, present and future.

JENNIE SHARMAN-COX

Largely self- taught, Sharman-Cox has had a varied artistic background. After training as a window dresser and working in London’s West End , she worked as a fashion house press officer. Three years later she returned to art school to study ceramics before setting up her own studio, exhibiting and teaching. Later she joined a leading theatrical costumiers, designing and making costumes for the stage. In 1990 she began making antique style teddy bears which continue to be collected and exhibited around the world. In 2010 she made her first collection of hand sewn costume jewellery which was selected to be part of the ‘Bling’ Exhibition at the V&A Bethnal Green and in 2011 she began producing her ‘Boxes of Curiosity’ which are now her main focus of work.

PEISY TING
Growing up in an artistic background, Peisy, from Kuala Lumpur, did not set out to be an artist in the beginning, however, her hidden passion for design led her to Birmingham City University, UK where she graduated with a degree in Visual Communications in 1999, after which she returned to Malaysia and began her career in advertising as a graphic designer then art director. After more than a decade working in the industry and sensing burnt out, she picked up the paint brush and took a heartfelt leap and became an accidental artist.

JUDY CLARKSON

Judy Clarkson was born in Harrogate, N. Yorkshire and now lives in London. She studied Fine Art at St Martin’s School of Art 1984 – 87, and has continued her art career ever since. Her inspiration is the human figure, and she explores the representation of face and form as a contemporary concern.  Life drawing is an essential part of her art practice, and she has a created a large body of work in charcoal, pastel and ink, while employing oil on canvas in the studio.  Her painting process is intense: built up from many layers of oil paint, the brush strokes often remain visible as if still in motion, and this accretion results in a rich, physical texture.  She works through instinct, seeking to portray through paint the essential life force of her subjects. Judy Clarkson exhibits regularly, and her work has been bought by collectors from around the world. In 2018 she won the Holly Bush Emerging Woman Painter Prize.

TERESA WELLS
 

Teresa Wells MRSS creates emotive figurative sculptures in bronze, that celebrate man’s physical and emotional survival over adversity. Inspired by the question “How do Humans Behave?” she draws inspiration from the contours of athletes and ballet dancers to emphasise a physical strength, placing them in precarious poses to stress fragility. She employs an illustrative style that pertains to theatrical gesturing, with particular attention made in re-creating detail in the face, hands and feet. This creates a powerful and spiritual force, producing reflection on one’s own psyche. When combined with geometric architectural supports, in steel, bronze and stone, she shows a contemporary approach to bronze, lifting it off the plinth and making it appear less monumental and traditional. Teresa is a multi award winning member of The Royal Society of Sculptors, and is available for public and private commissions, interiors, landscape and garden sculpture. www.teresawells.co.uk
