Art Below London

The artwork for 'Lakeland Grasses' has been on show for a second time on London Underground. This time at Angel, Islington, a bright and spacious tube station, showing the work in a really great environment. The exhibition ran from November 21st to December 6th 2010 and was organised by London based ART BELOW.

BBC Radio Derby invited Alistair into their studios on the 2nd November, to talk to James Watt about; Exhibiting in London, making art and being an artist in residence. We have stripped out the interview from the show, for you to listen to, on this website: www.alistairkennedy.co.uk/press

LONDON UNDERGROUND EXHIBITION JULY 2009

Art Below London

Two images from the vicious bulwark exhibition have been selected for display on two separate London Underground stations. The Exhibition, called Art Below, gives selected artists, from all over the world, a chance to show their work to thousands of commuters daily. The two works will be situated at Baker Street Station (Metropolitan Line, Platform 1) and Paddington Station (District Line, Platform 1 Westbound). The Exhibition runs from 29th June – 17th July 2009. Click here for BBC Radio Derby Interview

A third image (East Coker) pictured here in the centre, would also have been part of the exhibition had Transport for London not deemed it 'unsuitable for display'. Their reason for this being that the red paint splatter on the bottom left of the image looks a little too like graffiti!?

Histologies, an exhibition of 15 new paintings, opens at the new Derby City Hospital at the beginning of May and runs throughout the summer until the end of August 2009. The paintings can be found on the 3rd Floor of the main hospital building. Photos will be posted soon.
