More artists
announced for spring
Gallery One, the internationally renowned
art and photography retailer, has announced the line up for the second phase of
its spring collection. Works from world-renowned artists Rosha Nutt, quirky
photographer Mr Kuu, Claridge & Lilius, Bollywood Posters, and an extended
exhibition by Gallery One owner and photographer Gregg Sedgwick.
Rosha Nutt who trained at the prestigious art
colleges, Central Saint Martins and Middlesex University in the UK, enjoyed a
successful advertising career where she was able to nurture her love for Pop
Art. With inspirations drawing from the bold, graphic works of Roy
Litchtenstein, Andy Warhol, Bridget Riley and Damien Hirst, Rosha’s natural
flair has been further influenced by her background in high-end beauty
advertising. Her most recent collection, Popp Art, sees her unique artworks
combine simple screen-printed objects such as unmistakable bottles of Chanel,
butterflies and popsicles, with stippling and bold colour combinations for
maximum impact and easy-on-the-eye aesthetics.
Mr Kuu is a pseudonym for what some believe is the alter ego of a famous
fashion photographer obsessed with capturing life’s quirky, intimate details,
through his perfectly angled lens. When admiring his photography, you would
instantly understand and wholly appreciate his concept of exploring the biggest
themes of love and life vicariously through the minutia of existence. Cloaked
in mystery and imagination, the question, ‘Who is Kuu’ is something that has
kept critics and art collectors guessing since the debut of his exceptional and
unusual collection, with only a very select few knowing the truth. This
collection of fine art photography, Small Things In A Big World, focuses
on tiny bright, plastic hand painted figures juxtaposed against seemingly
mundane everyday objects, creating a surreal world, which aims to accentuate
routine raw emotion. 
Claridge & Lilius is the unique vision of
Brit and Finnish duo Simon Claridge and Marc Lilius, two independent artists
from divergent disciplines combining the very best of their talent and
technical skills. The overall result of a painter and a photographer working in
harmony is one of classic beauty with a remarkably timeless feel. A complex set
of processes results in large-scale glossy photographic prints of still wet oil
paints, which has been christened the ‘Brush and Lens’ project. This
intriguing marriage between the talents of one of the UK’s most popular young
artists, Claridge, and a much in-demand fashion, art and film photographer,
Lilius, has transpired into creating collectable pieces of photographic art that
are simply breathtaking.
The Art of Bollywood is a
vibrant collection which sees the world of Bollywood films come to life in a
series of beautifully large-format historical litho prints, capturing the
excitement and glamour of Indian cinema art preserved in its debut period. The
film posters are perfectly preserved examples of a genre which has become
nothing short of an international phenomenon.
British photographer and designer Gregg
Sedgwick will continue his exhibition of The Dubai Panoramics, for which he
spent two weeks in early 2013 capturing the unusually stormy cityscape of Dubai.
The distinct skylines punctuate powerfully through the dense fog, almost as a
confirmation of Dubai’s promising future, providing the most recent snapshot of
the magnitude and majesty of the ‘new Dubai’ as it emerges strongly as a global
city.
Gallery One’s complete Spring 2013 collection
can be viewed and purchased at Gallery One stores throughout the UAE. For
