An Antidote to the Ghastly Turner Prize
7 October - 30 October 2010
Private View: THURSDAY 7 October 2010 18-21.00 All Welcome
The Stuckists, unified by commitment and enthusiasm yet diverse in themes and directions. Paintings with directness and conviction, strong, clear and colourful.
Sometimes not for the fainthearted but saved by candour and some satirical works which lift the mood of the work of the Stuckist group shows as a whole. Another Alladin’s Cave if ever there was one.
Having seen their first Liverpool show at the Walker Art Gallery the View Two Gallery was delighted to show the Stuckists in 2008 as part of the Independent Biennial when Liverpool was the European Capital of Culture .It was a popular and successful show. The exhibition was well received by people visiting the gallery and there was a good response to the work.
To single out individual artists is not the remit of this short piece although Eamon Everall’s Olympia 11 was sold and now sits handsomely on the living room wall in Ken Martins home.
The Stuckists second Exhibition at View Two in 2010 is a further feather in our cap.
Whilst smaller in the number of paintings in the exhibition includes a bargain wall —- an idea which will please the visitors to the gallery and also help the gallery with sales. View Two is a commercial gallery, a market place for lively art, music (see our website viewtwogallery.co.uk) and possibly a drink to enjoy the art a little more.
