Antony Hegarty, more known as the leader singer of the band Antony and the Johnsons, is presenting his first art exhibition in the UK.
The city selected for Antony has been London and from January 17th to February 28th all his fans will be able to enjoy, in the heart of the city, of this exhibition absolutely free.
Isis Gallery has been the spot choosen anad the name of the exhibition is 'The Creek' and there's exactly where this paintings bring you to: dream landscapes that seems to map his own dreams; marks and scratches give us traces of conscious and more abstract images and ideas.
When talking when one of the managers from the gallery about the techniques used for the paintings he explained to me "The primary elements go through many stages - drawn on, burned, soaked in the rain, thrown away and reclaimed, drawn on again, stained or dried over a fire. These are then arranged and photographed."
Isis Gallery is a hidden and really unique space just behind of Tottenham Court Road Station, the intimacy of the place will surprise you, instead of being a huge opened space, as galleries normally are, this place is more like going to visit someone's home to have a cup of tea while talking about art.
For his work in this exhibition, Antony has collaborated with performance artist Johanna Constantine, model Dr. Julia Yasuda Ph.D, photographer Don Felix Cervantes, and artistic advisor Joie Iacono.
Isis Gallery 20 Hanway St. London W1T 1UG, Tuesday to Saturday, 10am-6pm"
