Get Out More. An exhibition of Street art and Art Brut at Hind Street Gallery. Otter St Mary. It’s a long time since Hind Street Gallery put on an exhibition curating such variance from highly acclaimed artists. In 2001 an unknown artist, Joshua Fields from the USA was invited to hold his first ever gallery exhibition here. He has since adopted the brush name of Gus Fink with over 300k followers on Instagram and TikTok, and 410k on Facebook. Now internationally famous, his career was helped along the way by Hind Street Gallery. Starting with 6 artists from Paris, London and East Devon, showing from Sat 6th July until Sat 3rd August and two plays to be performed on the evening of Friday 12th July she hopes you will come and enjoy this exhibition month. Original art from £4 to £2000! The Artists.Edward Lamb has lived in Ottery for 29 years and is actively involved in community groups. This will be the first time a large body of his original abstract work has been shown in one place. A self-taught artist his work is expressive, colourful and fun. This is “happy art”, affordable and a joy to view.Most living in East Devon will be familiar with Steve McCracken’s loveable character “Sid the Seagull”. He adorns the streets of many of our local towns and cities and has flown as far as Bristol, London and Berlin. Steve’s work is collected by enthusiasts from France, USA, Germany, New Zealand, Italy and Mexico. Hind Street Gallery will be exhibiting some of his larger pieces, a rare opportunity to see this lovely work from “NoneHere” that you won’t see on the streets of Devon.The incredibly talented Catherine Gil Alcala is a true outsider artist from Paris, her expressive abstract figurative work is based on her dreams. A comparison to Marc Chagall is often made yet her work is unique. She is also a playwright, poet and actor. She will be performing one of her plays, “The Divinatory Crowd of Dreams”, at the Gallery on Friday. 12th along with Ian Pearce. This is the first time Catherine’s work has been shown in the UK.Blam, from Tiverton, is not only an accomplished street artist, he works with various mediums from spray paint to watercolour and most things in between. He has specialised in graffiti and street art for over 20 years. His “sprayhead” series of stickers, using lurid colours and graphicly stylized, are top-rated within youth culture far and wide. As well as cities in Europe his photorealistic portraits can be found at The Royal Albert Hall and The Hayward Gallery, as well as locally in Exeter, Taunton and Weston-super-Mare.Jeza Joack, hails from St. Étienne, France. His work comes from deep within his mind. Intense and colourful, it is deeply personal and reflective of his life experiences. It is for sure Art Brut, a term coined by French artist Jean Dubuffet. It’s not often we see work as raw, visually rendering the artist’s life onto paper.As for mr.sportivo, he collaborates with artificial intelligence and his work is inspired by Andy Warhol's Pop Art movement. This simplistic stencil work provokes thought, discussion and sometimes argument. Despite what he may tell you he’s not famous at all. He is known as a toy in the world of graffiti, and upstart, an apprentice. But even though he has only been producing Street Art for a short while he has many small works plastered all over London that are beginning to attract a following. We think he could be a modern Lowry in the making. He is also a performance artist his work sometimes accompanied by short videos posted on social media, where it is quite obvious he’s not taking himself too seriously. The art at Hind Street Gallery is freely available for all to see on Fridays and Saturday10 am to 6 pm and Sundays 10am to 4.30pm from Friday 12h July to Sat 3rd of August. It’s well worth a visit, so set your sat nav to EX11 1BW and Get Out More. More information on 07726 467077.
