His debut off-schedule show took place at London Fashion Week in February 2003.

Sean Scully’s Exhibition - 'Uninsideout'

Blain|Southern Gallery is presenting Sean Scully’s first exhibition with the gallery, named 'Uninsideout'. Featuring large-scale, multi-panel paintings, as well as works on paper, sculpture and a group of his celebrated Landline paintings, the exhibition will offer an overview of the artist’s multi-faceted oeuvre. 

Rhythm has always been of central importance to Scully, and much of the work in Uninsideout has a palpable musical structure. Rhythm emerges from both his sources of inspiration, such as music and poetry, but also in his process, visible in the fluid handling of his medium and his own powerful movement as he paints. The geometric structure that characterises his work creates a background rhythm, opening up space for improvisation and new pictorial ideas. 

'Freddie For A Day' Event

The ‘Freddie For A Day’ initiative was launched in 2010 by The Mercury Phoenix Trust and is held annually on his birthday. The Mercury Phoenix Trust – fighting Aids Worldwide - was founded by Brian May, Roger Taylor and their manager Jim Beach in memory of rock band Queen’s iconic lead singer Freddie Mercury who died in 1991 from AIDS.

Fashion Designer - OSMAN

OSMAN, the eponymous label from London-based Osman Yousefzada, made its debut in 2007.  Deeply rooted in the creative worlds of both art and fashion, Osman’s unique architectural aesthetic and strong, sculptural designs both flatter and celebrate the woman’s body, qualities which have established the designer as one of London’s most exciting talents.

British born Osman Yousefzada studied at Central Saint Martin’s before going on to launch his own label, which soon after was nominated for the annual Designs of the Year award (2007) at the Design Museum, which features the best 100 designs internationally, selected from all design disciplines.

Art Exhibition - Erkka Nissinen

For his first solo exhibition in the United Kingdom, Erkka Nissinen presents nine new ink drawings, in which he trains his characteristically absurdist humour on the subject of surveillance and shame. The setting for these works is a series of bare, windowless rooms, all of which seem to belong to the same sprawling, Kafka-esque facility. 

Here, men indulge in various kinks (urophagia, autofellatio, disappearing up to their necks in the rectum of a pig), observed either by anonymous, silhouetted onlookers, or their own horrified wives and kids. In other images, these men become subject to seemingly arbitrary arrest, interrogation, and cartoonish punishments. 

Carnaby Celebrates Bees' Needs Week

The week long ‘Carnabee’ takeover is in support of Defra’s campaign to raise awareness of bees and other pollinators – and importantly, what we can do to help them thrive. Bees are responsible for 80% of the pollination that occurs in the world and play an integral part of pollinating plants, food crops and sustaining the entire food chain. Pretty important stuff.

Carnaby is already home to over 1,000 flower window boxes with pollinating flowers and in addition to this, homes around 30,000 bees in hives across the Carnaby roof tops.

Regent Street Celebrates 250 Years of Art

To mark the momentous 250th year of The Royal Academy of Arts (RA), the RA’s highly regarded annual Summer Exhibition will spill out on to Regent Street and beyond this summer. Four noted artists and Royal Academicians - Rose Wylie, Grayson Perry, Cornelia Parker and Joe Tilson - have been set the task of decorating the streets to celebrate art and culture in London.
