We are delighted to present ‘Turkish Eye (blue and turquoise)’ a silkscreen print by pioneering artist Gavin Turk. CCA Galleries and Worton Hall Studios were delighted to be joined by Turk over the bank holiday weekend at the London Original Print Fair 2018, where he produced the edition in a stimulating live printmaking demonstration at the fair’s own Printmaking Festival.

A play on his own name, the print features the Nazar Boncuğu or 'turkish eye’, widely displayed in homes, shops and businesses across Turkey to ward off evil and provide protection to the wearer in all aspects of their life. A prevalent part of Turkish culture, the turkish eye is believed to possess magic powers to protect you or bring you good luck. Nazar are often given as gifts to friends who have just had a baby, or moved into a new house, though sometimes they are given to foreigners as protection during their stay in Turkey. The Nazar symbol can also be traced back to the Ancient Egyptians, where the Eye of Horus was a symbol of protection, royal power and good health. It is said that when an evil eye cracks, it has done its job of protecting you. Reflecting the magical powers of the turkish eye, this print is available in an edition size of 29 prints, a primary number and considered magic in many cultures.

'THE LIVING STONES' Solo Exhibition by Lucy Farley

Atlantic Red, 2016

31st March to 14th April  Open Monday - Friday 10 - 5pm at Worton Hall Studios

We are delighted to be hosting British contemporary artist Lucy Farley’s solo exhibition The ‘Living Stones' from Friday 31st March to Friday 14th April. 

Our exhibition will showcase a collection of paintings and prints which are rooted in the observation and documentation - through repeated drawing, of particular land and seascapes in France, Spain and the South Coast of England. There is an emphasis on the history associated with a specific site, interspersed with the on going theme of man’s conflict with the elements.

The mystical and fantastical emanate from a chosen landscape and its geology, whilst the act of drawing becomes a meditative ritual on what and how something becomes sacred, as well as a portal to the souls of the characters who shaped it.

From the sketchbooks developed outside, the images adopt a more abstract language once they are reworked on a larger scale back in the studio. Printed and painted papers are often used in collaged layers to build up a densely worked surface over time.

To the Lighthouse, Ile de Re, 2013

31st March to 14th April  Open Monday - Friday 10 - 5pm at Worton Hall Studios

We hope to see you there!

Introducing Rose Blake

We are delighted to publish a new series by Rose Blake: ‘Wall Art’. We had a chat with Rose to find out more about her life and work, 

-What’s your ethos as an artist/how would you describe your work?

RB-I was trained as an illustrator, so drawing underpins everything I do really. I normally split my time between making prints, pictures and doing commercial illustration projects. I tend to usually include some kind of narrative in my work, although I haven’t really done so in this series. I’ve always found it much easier to express an idea with a picture, rather than words.

-What inspires you?

RB-I’m constantly on the look out for ideas- so I find everything pretty inspiring really. Conversations, things I see on the street, books I’m reading- I’m constantly jotting down ideas for drawings on my phone.

-Did you always want to be an artist?

RB-No, as a kid I think I wanted to be a waitress!

-What is an average day in the life of Rose Blake?

RB- wake up early, and try to fit in a quick swim at the local pool straight after I get up- as I find it helps me to clear my head for the day. Then off to the studio where I normally stay ‘till early evening- each week is very varied with what I’m working on, and I usually juggle quite a few projects at a time. Walk home, eat, sleep, repeat…

-Do you have a favourite artist/work of art?

RB-Loads! Hockney, Humphrey Ocean, Danny Fox, Wang Hui, Joe Tilson, Jonas Wood, Rose Wylie, Jockum Nordstrom, Calder, Matisse, Picasso (obviously), Ellsworth Kelly, Peter McDonald, David Shrigley, Bill Traylor… the list goes on.

-Which is your favourite exhibition space?

RB-The Guggenheim is amazing, also MOMA. I loved wandering round the National Gallery too.

-What do you think of the state of the arts in Britain today?

RB-I think the government needs to stop doing stupid things like threatening the History of Art A-level, the free Art Foundation course (which was the best year of my life!) and the rising cost of going to art school, as the arts in Britain are what makes it great.

-Which talent would you most like to possess?

RB-I’m *terrible* at remembering peoples names! As soon as I’m told a name, I forget it instantly… so a better memory would be a good place to start.

-One book to take to a desert island?

RB- One!! Thats too hard… maybe a collection of short stories by Alice Munro. I just finished Autumn by Ali Smith, and wanted to start it again straight away.

-City or country?

RB-City!

-Any current exhibitions you would recommend?

RB-I can’t wait to see the Rauschenberg show at Tate Modern

-Tell us a bit about the ‘Wall Art’ series, 

RB-I basically spent a week at The Curwen experimenting with ways of mark making within lithography, and we made the three editions in the process. I didn’t want to be too precious about what I made in the week, as I really wanted to test the process, so I set myself this grid of frames to work in, and then just starting playing with abstract shapes and textures within them. It was SO much fun for me to work with Curwen, as I was completely new to the process. I really want to keep working with lithography in the future.

-How would you like people to see your work in the future?

RB-I suppose my main goal is that it makes people happy!

-Thanks Rose!

NEW from Peter Blake ‘Dazzle Disc’ published by CCA Galleries.

Dazzle Disc (2016)

Peter Blake

Silkscreen print on paper with UV glaze

Edition size: 100

Paper size: 81 x 72 cm

Published by CCA Galleries. Printed at Coriander Studio. 

Will be available to order from www.ccagalleries.com on Tues 4th October.

Dazzle Disc references Blake’s early work as well as his recent exploration of the ‘dazzle’ effect, which was originally a method of helping vessels avoid enemy detection in World War One. 

In 2015 Blake was commissioned to ‘dazzle’ a Mersey Ferry, the result was ‘Everybody Razzle Dazzle’ and the print it inspired ‘Dazzle’. The choice of a circular format for this new work has multiple resonances; the most obvious being that of a vinyl record, but also a badge, a film reel, a rose window.  

His choice of the word ‘disc’ is certainly suggestive of the influence music and musicians have had throughout his career.  The composition was originally created as a stained glass window for installation at Worton Hall Studios (the printmaking centre in London where Blake has his own studio space). Blake has also made a small and large version stained glass edition, also to be launched on the CCA Galleries website on 4th October. 

The silkscreen version retains the feeling of a pop art rose window, whilst also being reminiscent of a badge; another recurring motif in Blake’s work. Indeed a badge version of the image exists, made to promote the opening of the studio for which Dazzle Disc has become something of an emblem. 

The studio building formerly housed Isleworth Film Studios; a hub for the great directors and film stars of the past. This fact may also have underpinned Blake’s choice of a tondo format, echoing the shape of a film reel and simultaneously inferring constant change.
