Benny Dröscher’s Lurking for Transcendental Moments closes on 19.06.2007 with a late night viewing till 20.00
Line Rosenvinge writes “In the work of Benny Dröscher expect to find UFOs, flying birch trees, moonlit lakes, birdies with halos, a casual pencil doodle or the odd coffee stain. Look again, and expect to be lured in… the artist trained as a sculptor in Denmark. Sculptures included in the show are perfect, like pop icons of waterfalls, quirky fires with real gold or sophisticated assemblages of fur, glitter and stripped tree branches. For years, the artist was happy to call his works on paper “a goofy picture of a magic moment”. And goofy magic it is to this day!”
Look out for Dröscher’s Manifesto commission in next month’s Art Review and a feature by Martin Herbert in Modern Painters.

Opening on 27.06.2007 is LA based painter, Allison Schulnik’s first solo exhibition in the UK.
Within thickly sculpted oil paint Allison Schulnik presents moments that mix historical fact with blatant fiction.
Schulnik received her BFA in Experimental Animation at the California Institute of Arts in 2000. Her paintings have been exhibited internationally at venues including Black Dragon Society, Los Angeles, Bellwether Gallery, New York, Groeflin Maag Galerie, Basel, the Dallas Museum of Art, the Santa Monica Museum of Art and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago.
Please join us for the private view 26.06.2007 between 18.30 – 20.30.
