Noma Bar 'Cut It Out' - London Design Festival 2011

About

For this year's London Design Festival, Outline Editions has invited the ingenious and award winning graphic artist Noma Bar to create a one-man show, the centrepiece of which will be his brand new installation, Cut It Out. Noma will be creating an amazing, interactive art-making machine for the event. 'Cut It Out' is a specially commissioned, Heath Robinson-esque embossing device /sculpture in the shape of a giant dog, that will allow visitors to feed paper, rubber and other materials into its mouth to produce their own cut-out Noma Bar images. These will be signed and numbered by the artist as part of a limited edition series. The prints and cut-outs will range in price from £65 to £300.

In addition to the show, Noma will be holding free live drawing and create-your-own-cut-out-art workshops at the gallery during the festival. To book a free place please email: info@outline-editions.co.uk

With this simple and clever new work, Bar delves deeper into a recurring theme - negative space. Alongside Cut It Out, the artist, fresh from a sell-out show in Paris, will be exhibiting a range of other new prints, displaying his imaginative mixture of 'double-take' imagery and biting social commentary.

With bold colours, shapes and pared-down iconography, Bar can capture the spirit of a person or the heart of an issue with arresting clarity and humour.

In addition, for the duration of the festival, a separate section of the gallery will be devoted to a display of new work by Outline Editions' unrivalled stable of artists at the forefront of
graphic art, including Anthony Burrill, Kate Moross, Beyond the Valley and Klaus Haapaniemi.

Following the London Design Festival, 'Cut It Out' will travel to the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art in Gateshead, North East England for their 2011 Design Event Festival, 14th - 18th October.
