Kelsey Brookes at The Outsiders

Leave a comment

Kelsey Brookes has reinvented psychedelic art for the 21st Century for his UK debut exhibition.

His latest body of work consists of large scale canvases, with paintings of animals, bold geometric shapes and kaleidoscopic abstraction, which is unusually inspired by migranes.

The powerful affliction is often associated with not only visual hallucinations but all other ‘synaesthetic’ experiences (the interpretation of one sense as another, for instance ‘hearing’ colour). The geometric lines and colours come directly from the hallucinogenic experiences just before the headache.

The work is impulsive, extravagant and spontaneous, an echo of the spirit.

Adam Neate at Elms Lesters Painting Rooms

Leave a comment

Last time we went to see an Adam Neate’s show, precisely at the same venue, we were happily surprised by the freshness of Adam Neate’s three dimensional works.

I hadn’t seen such work, such technique before – 3D in paintings using Perspex being such a modern medium. The sober atmosphere, high ceilings and spot on lighting at Elms Lesters painting rooms enhance Adam Neate’s art which seems to gravitate around you.

You will find below a few pics of his show last year

A definite must see show
When – until 29th October
Elms Lesters Painting Rooms
Tuesday – Friday 11am – 7pm
Saturdays 11am – 5pm
