Annemarie Wright produces album artwork for Dan Whitehouse

Hi guys,

 

First of all, an apology, I haven’t blogged for ages! I am going to try and blog at least once a week (maybe a month?) from now on….         

 

So, what’s been happening? Quite a lot! I will just keep it simple and let you know what is going on this week.

 

I was lucky to be asked by the fabulous Dan Whitehouse to produce a piece of art for the cover of his latest album– Reaching for a State of Mind. It is launching this Sunday at the Crescent Theatre in Birmingham, and songs on the album are stunning.

 

I first saw Dan perform at the Hare & Hounds in Birmingham and have been a massive fan ever since.

I’m really looking forward to going to the launch on Sunday, and also about seeing his special guest perform, Duke Special.

 

Here is a link to Dan’s website -

Enjoy

#PopPolitics solo exhibition by Annemarie Wright at London's Woolff Gallery

A solo exhibition featuring the work of British artist Annemarie Wright, 33, is opening at London’s Woolff Gallery, running from 31 May 2013.

Wright, originally from Cambridgeshire specialises in text based work and is best known for her controversial artwork, ‘Their families have been told’, featuring Tony Blair, created using the handwritten names of British soldiers killed during the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Her work is produced using ink and paper. From a distance you will see a black and white image, when moving closer you will see the image is made using handwritten text. The text is always written by, or about, the person or image in the piece itself.

The exhibition, #PopPolitics will feature an eclectic mix of influential figureheads throughout history, pairing politics with pop culture. New works will include, David Cameron, created entirely of public opinion, Olympic Gold Medal winner, Usain Bolt and a beautiful, yet daring interpretation of the future heir to the British Throne.

This is Wright’s second solo exhibition with the Woolff Gallery and will feature an entire body of new work, including a piece of recently departed Iron Lady, Baroness Margaret Thatcher and a piece of Pakistani school girl and educational activist Malala Yousafzai, created entirely from Good Will messages from across the globe. All proceeds from the sale of this piece will go towards a Girls’ Educational Fund Charity, founded by the Women In The World Foundation. 

Wright graduated from the University of Wolverhampton in 2002, with a First Class Honours Degree in Fine Art and Printmaking.

She has been represented by London’s Woolff Gallery, since 2009, who have exhibited her work Worldwide.

RIP Baroness Margaret Thatcher - Annemarie Wright

Rest in peace Margaret Thatcher who died today the grand old age of 87.

I have always found her to be an inspiration and one of the most memorable and powerful women of all time.

"U turn if you want to, the lady's not for turning".

You will be missed.
