Upcoming shows for winter 2013 at Nancy Victor

Love Never Dies / Erin Petson
Erin Petson's illustrations have a delicate and provocative, almost paper doll effect. 
They have been described as ëbondage leaning glam fashionvintage. Her images are edgy and powerful yet simultaneously ethereal. Her genuine love of drawing, montage and markmaking seems to come through every single one of her pieces. www.erinpetson.com

Private View: Thursday 28th November 6-8pm Invitation only 
To request an invitation or for more information please email Amanda May amanda@noirluxe.co.uk

Back to Front / Nettie Wakefield and Edward Haslam 

Something in the Attic is thrilled to introduce Back to Front, a two-person exhibition of drawings by Nettie Wakefield and Edward Haslam. Both artists have worked in conjunction for the first time to produce a new body of figurative portraits revealing the front and back of their subjects. Nettie’s work captures a focused representation of the back of the head, a lucid snapshot of reality, whilst Edward’s work subtly subverts reality, exploring an area of the face that is disconnected from the figure. The collaboration brings vigour to their respective style, as they play off one another’s ideas in a dialogue that runs through this series of drawings.

The exhibition runs from Friday 6th December to Thursday 12th December 2013

Private View: Thursday 5th December 6-9pm. Please RSVP info@somethingintheattic.co.uk

Opening times: Monday to Friday 10am - 6pm and Saturday 7th December 12-6pm

There will be a late night viewing on Thursday 12th December until 8.30pm

The Wisdom of Escape: A group exhibition by Emily Allchurch, Suzanne Moxhay and Barbara Nati

Last night saw the opening of The Wisdom of Escape, an exhibition which explores illusory and imaginative scenes of the future, history and architecture. 

Encouraging a fresh look at digital and analogue collage techniques, these three artists create complex compositions- hybrids inspired by architecture, society and the cinematic image. These haunting environments are recognisable but also often unsettling and uncanny, each artist allowing the transformation of ideas into an intriguing, fluid environment, a tightrope walk that strangely comments on our world today.

Suzanne Moxhay, Sirocco, 2007

Suzanne Moxhay creates three dimensional collages using imagery from the 1950’s and 70’s to produce a space with an uncertain existence between photography and the staged, allowing the imagery to constantly move through real and illusory space.

Barbara Nati, No farewell only endless goodbye, 2012

Barbara Nati focuses on depicting a post catastrophic realm of unfamiliar landscapes. The Pangea ship anchors a confined habitat of sky scrapers within the harbour of a modern metropolis; a striking cloudy monochrome backdrop empowers the ships presence highlighting the illusionary impact upon this city.

Emily Allchurch, Urban Chiaroscuro 8: St. Petersburg (after Piranesi), 2012

Emily Allchurch uses digital collage techniques to explore architecture, culture and civilisation. Allchurch forms multiple photographs taken from Rome, Paris, London and St.Petersburg to create Urban Chiaroscuro, a series of complex environments inspired by a series of etchings published in 1743-45 by Giovanni Battista Piranesi. 

The Wisdom of Escape runs until Friday 26th July, open every Monday-Friday 12-7pm and Saturdays by appointment. 

On Thursday 25th July we will be open until 9pm for Fitzrovia Lates.
