Life in Colour


Run and show-cased by Leamington Studio Artists, Gallery150 will be presenting the works of Damien Isaak from 25th to 6 November 2011.


Born in Cambridgeshire in 1970,
Damien Isaak  moved to Warwickshire 6 years ago and, after being a successful businessman for many years, now runs his own business in Leamington Spa.



This prolific  artist, who has only recently discovered his passion for art, works in a myriad of media and styles, taking inspiration from architecture and the local community.


Damien’s interest in art came from his passion for collecting works by the American artist Todd White. His frustration at not being able to find unique and inspirational pieces was also the driving force behind his early creations.


In ‘Life in Colour’, Damien will be presenting a series of mixed media works, predominantly featuring ‘accessible’ abstract art.

Gallery150 is open Tuesday - Saturday 11am - 6pm Sunday 11am - 4pm
The private view will be held on Tuesday, 25 October 2011 from 7-9 pm.
