 Stella Tooth Art Exhibition

BULLS HEAD BARNES

Fabulous to be back exhibiting at The Bulls Head - the great riverside jazz venue in Barnes, known as the suburban Ronnie Scott's, having launched the same year.
The Bull’s Head is sister venue to the Half Moon Putney, where I’m resident artist.
A number of the artworks on show were created as part of my residency Never The Bride's Nikki Lamborn, who Roger Daltrey says has the best female rock voice since Janis Joplin, guitarist Albert Lee who has collaborated with legendary musicians like the Crickets, Emmylou Harris, Eric Clapton, the Everly Brothers & Bill Wyman, and gifted banjo player Thomas ‘Spats’ Langham, here with Bob Kerr’s Whoopee Band.
Then there’s Pink Floyd's Nick Mason who played the Half Moon in the launch week of his wonderful Saucerful of Secrets. 
Living in London we have fantastic street entertainers to keep us entertained. Covent Garden is one of my favourite places to see them and the exhibition includes a drawing of juggler Corey Pickett, whose act I enjoyed catching there.
Last but not least, there's my digital painting of a brilliant tap dancer I caught in Paris last year.
All my artworks can be bought from the walls by texting me, paying via my webshop and arranging collection from The Bulls Head. You will need to bring waterproof wrapping to safely transport it home.

LOTS ROAD GROUP BEYOND THE DOOR 
Portraits and other recent works
LRG artists reflected on the unprecedented times we have experienced through the medium of portraiture, showing portraits created during the pandemic when our own front doors defined the way we live – both as a defence against a dangerous world and the means of escape from confinement. Artists chose subjects whose experiences are representative of the unfamiliar limbo through which we have been passing – Covid survivors, those with whom we have been confined, those we have only seen on Zoom or Facetime, fellow out of work creatives – and inevitably, ourselves. Shown at Bermondsey Project Space.

SPOTLIGHT ON: FIRST EGYPTIAN BIENNALE

In 2013 I was among 50 international artists selected to take part in the first Egypt art biennale in Sharm el Sheikh. The biennale was run under the auspices of three Egyptian ministries: tourism, culture and foreign, with the aim of supporting tourism in the region. During our 10 day stay, we were asked to paint in public – in the town square, inspired by spectacular 'whirling dervish' and fire eating performances, in the desert nightclub housed inside a cave 'La Dolce Vita' and in the bustling Naama Bay shopping area.

In the grounds of the Sonesta Beach Hotel, where we stayed, we were visited by a stream of ministers as we each painted two 70 x 80cm pictures for the competition. The pictures were judged at the end of our stay by a panel of international judges, with prizes awarded at a televised gala evening attended by European and Middle Eastern art critics in the landscaped grounds of Le Royal Hotel Resort. Selected pictures then went on show at the hotel until Christmas. The closing night reception, with performances by Egypt's best known singers and dancers, was attended by the Admiral Governor of South Sinai (whose portrait I was asked to paint). Italian artist Archille Quadrini and I won the Judges' prizes.
