Suminder Virk & Steven King on Show at Gallery 150

Gallery150, run and showcased by Leamington Studio Artists (LSA), a non-profit organisation, will be inaugurating a new show featuring the works of Leamington artists, Suminder Virk and Steven King.

Steven King, who has exhibited both nationally and on the continent, will be presenting a series of dynamic pencil drawings. The artist’s work sweeps from classical tradition to comical invention, obsessively jumping from one idea to the next, in an endless two-and-fro of evaluations and re-evaluations and a constant search for new ways to communicate ideas.

Suminder Virk, who has exhibited on an international scale, will be showcasing ‘Downward Spiral’, an impressive and fascinating installation piece. Influenced by domestic life and her fascination for fabrics and textile that stems from her Indian background, the artist painstakingly wraps ‘mundane’, objects, such as mattress springs, mirrors and dowels, in silk threads, creating a colourful, striking and dream-like effect.

The private view will be held at Gallery150, Regent Court Shopping Centre, 9 Livery Street, Leamington Spa CV32 4NP, on 31 January, 2011 from 7.00pm.

The exhibition, which will be running from 1st February - 13th February, 2011, is open Tuesday to Saturday, from 11am to 6pm, and Sunday from 11am to 4pm.
