JONATHAN DARBY SOLO SHOW - SIGNAL GALLERY 10TH MARCH 2011

As some of you know I have been locked away in the studio for the last couple of months preparing for my solo show at SIGNAL in March. The work is coming along very well, with a completely new direction and a massive exploration in new media and techniques. I have been and am in the process of planning some very exciting elements for the show, expect a few surprises.....more details coming very very soon.....

The one and only Ian Cox from WALLKANDY was round the studio a few days ago and as always took some beautiful photos of the work in progress. Thanks again Ian.

The first show that is coming up is the 'NEVER JUDGE' group show in association with Penguin Books at STOLEN SPACE. The Show will be running form 3rd December through til  the 23rd.

I have taken the opportunity to do a slightly different kind of piece. Expect at least 80 artists taking part, with the usual line up of the gallery artists as well as a very impressive list of others...Come to the show @ STOLEN SPACE GALLERY or watch this space for more.

BP piece for 'AS THEY SEE IT' @ 941GEARY, SF

This is the piece that I have been working on for the upcoming show 'AS THEY SEE IT' at 941GEARY in SF. It was unavoidable for me not to do some work in response to the catastrophe that has been and still is taking place thanks to BP. The magnitude and sheer scale of the devastation is hard to fathom. At first I wasn't sure how to approach this piece as I believe that the hardest hit is the environment and all its creatures. However a large portion of the population that is effected by the mess is completely dependent on the fishing areas that have been/are being destroyed...
