Yesterday was a good day. Not only was it the first day my work was physically on display in the Fronteer Gallery in Sheffield, but I also received confirmation that 2 of my pieces had been accepted to be featured in the next instalment of the Artist Book series by SU4IP.

This edition is titled “Favourit” with the theme of artists showcasing their favourite work. It is hugely exciting to know my work will be featured alongside so many talented artists. A double page spread in print!

About SU4IP

SU4IP (Suburban Utopia, An Infertile Place) is an online arts organisation founded and creatively directed by Lyndon Watkinson, a multidisciplinary artist based in Sheffield, UK. Established as an extension of Watkinson’s creative pursuits, the organisation focuses on democratising art and art context through various mediums, including artworks, publications, graphic design, articles, and sound.

The ‘101 Contemporary Artists and More…’ book series delves into the aesthetic realm of contemporary art, highlighting its connection with literature. This series is dedicated to showcasing artists and writers who are actively shaping the modern landscape—individuals whose work commands attention and invites exploration of the unconventional and unexpected. Our goal is to evoke emotions, challenge preconceptions, and provoke introspection, leaving readers and viewers feeling occasionally exposed, vulnerable, yet profoundly authentic.

It’s a great honor that Sonder was selected to be featured alongside 100 incredible artists from all over the world.

It’s available for free either to view online or download as a PDF, or you can purchase a silk coated 150gsm softcover book.

Some of my work was recently selected to be a part of the Circular ArtSpace 18th Community Exhibition in VR. The exhibition is now live and will run until 18th July 2024.

Anyone can view the exhibition for free using any desktop or mobile device here: https://circularartspace.co.uk/18thvr.

The exhibition celebrates the radiant beauty of landscapes and their limitless possibilities. Diverse artistic interpretations were invited that capture nature’s brilliance, from dawn’s first light to twilight’s glow.

Submissions needed to embody the inspiring allure of horizons, symbolising hope, adventure, and new beginnings. I am delighted that the selection panel deemed that “Sunspots” met this brief.

This will be an online exhibition that runs for the whole of July 2024.

Although this is not the first exhibition my work has been accepted for, the MonArt digital exhibition “Muse” starts in just a few days, so it will be the very first time any of my art has been displayed publicly. This marks a hugely significant personal milestone.

The exhibition will be held at Fox Yard Stdio in Stowmarket, UK, from 18th to 23rd June 2024.

I ham hugely excited and honored to be a part of this alongside many talented emerging and established artists.
