New Illustrators

I went to South London Gallery in Peckham to see the latest shows that are on there.

Please note:

In the Old Fire Station part of the gallery I looked in the Archive Room at the Shut The Club Down exhibition.

Note the reuse of the cover image of the 70s Panther edition of The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury, which is the second time Peter Goodfellow’s work has been recycled in someone else’s fantasy worlds.

Community engagement:

And so out and over the road to the Main Gallery.

Note:

The most direct of those is the one by Femi Dawkins, which is an array of metal poles with golliwog-style dolls attached on their ends. This doesn’t photograph very well because it is quite large but the details are only clear close up to it, so instead of my bad pictures here’s a link to an official page.
