“Art of World” exhibition video to “Damn You All” by Frazer Kennedy at La Galleria Pall Mall

“Art of the World” international contemporary group exhibition took place at La Galleria Pall Mall in London between 16 and 22 March with the Opening Night on 17 March. Musicians Frazer Kennedy (vocals/ guitar) and Rick Joseph (acoustic guitar) delivered fantastic entertainment on the night. “Scotland has produced more than whisky and mythical monsters. It has also produced Frazer Kennedy – one of the best singer-songwriters to come out of Scotland since Gerry Rafferty… ” – says Frazer’s profile on his website. “From a childhood in the mountains and the sounds of the ceilidh, it’s little wonder Frazer’s music is inspired by the highlands and ruined castles echoing to ancient battles.” Enjoy “Art of World” exhibition video above to the balladic “Damn You All” by Frazer Kennedy.

The show celebrated the arrival of Spring. Painters and photographers from Austria, Croatia, France, Italy, Lithuania, Serbia, Spain, Turkey and the United States showcased a variety of interpretations of the theme. I was invited as a guest photographer and displayed three of my photographs at the exhibition.

Official opening of the 150th SWA Celebratory Exhibition and presentation of Awards by HRH Princess Michael of Kent, the Society of Women Artists Patron, at the Mall Galleries in London. 29th June 2011.

The SWA exhibition featured over 500 works in a variety of media – paintings, sculpture along with original prints, etchings and ceramics by professional women artists. A retrospective show in the East Gallery celebrated the work of prominent women artists who played an important role in the development and life of the society, including Dame Laura Knight.

“We have come a long way since the mid 1800s when it was viewed as quite outrageous for ladies to publicly show their art work! Our metamorphosis is now complete and this year we celebrate at the splendidly refurbished Mall Galleries,” said Barbara Penketh Simpson, the former President of the Society of Women Artists. “The Society, with its unique history, is constantly developing as a diverse, vital, and forward looking organization seeking to promote talented women artists.”

I learnt about the exhibition from one of participating artists, Arina Gordienko (ARINA), who’s striking “Self Portraits in Colours” could hardly be missed by visitors. ARINA shared her experience: “I am really honoured to be a part of the Society of Women Artists exhibition. I became a full member of the society in 2010. This is the 4th time my paintings have been displayed at the Annual exhibition of the Society of Women Artists at the Mall Galleries. And I am always thrilled and I really enjoy the creative atmosphere of the event. This year’s 150th Anniversary of the Society of Women Artists was opened by HRH Princess Michael of Kent and it was particularly magnificent with a fabulous variety of genuinely talented works by women artists from all over the world.”
