If a picture's worth a thousand words...
'Truly awesome display of some very talented artists. Well done to you all. You should be very proud (exhibition attendee) Please have a show every year - it is so uplifting and full of colour - and you are all fabulous artists (exhibition attendee) The culmination of 18 months studio practice at Project Art Works, this exhibition showcased works by six people who have complex needs/learning disabilities supported by an artist mentor. The exhibition displayed six very different approaches to image making - from brightly revived portraits of 70's and 80's pop icons to complex, colourful worlds intricately drawn across the canvas. The images provide a vivid reminder of the different internal worlds of the artists: realities that might otherwise remain invisible. 'It has taken over 70 years for Albert to be given a label that he is proud of. When people are asked to describe him, the first thing they say is "He is an Artist". Taking part in mentoring studios has enabled Albert to have an autonomy with his art that he has been unable to achieve in any other venue or area of his life.' Support Worker The artwork and a fully illustrated catalogue are for sale at the gallery and on line (see below). 14th May to 25th May 2010:
