The Annual & Awards Exhibition and our Future Program

We have a full program for the second half of 2021 - everyone will be working hard to enable it to go ahead:

Planning for our Annual & Awards Exhibition was going so well.  We had delivery planned and we were dealing with the challenges our new venue offered - as well as the opportunities for a long term relationship.

Then came a Covid19 lockdown - So we postponed. A lot of our commitments have been put off until October when we have Take Two scheduled. 

"Future" Peter Luckock

We’d already invested in publicity and had everything set up  for the online aspect of a real life show so we produced the exhibition online only. Sculptors produced their own amazing images - we did our best with social media plus Art Almanac gave us an additional digital ad in a generous show of support.

Plinths for Sculpture

 As some of you may know, I’ve made a few plinths for Aukje’s sculptures and over time it’s become apparent that portability is an issue. A full size, solid plinth that can safely hold a sculpture of significant weight quickly become heavy and when 2 or 3 sculptures are to be transported with that many plinths, then car space also becomes a problem. Additionally, these solid, box column plinths quickly become scuffed and require frequent repainting. 

I’ve been asked to see if I can come up with a solution for these problems and the requirements boils down to: 

Stanisłav Szukalski

Stanisłav Szukalski (13 December 1893 – 19 May 1987) was a Polish sculptor and painter who became a part of the Chicago Renaissance.[1] Szukalski's art exhibits influence from ancient cultures such as Egyptian, Slavic, and Aztec combined with elements of art nouveau, from the various currents of early 20th century European modernism - cubism, expressionism, futurism and pre-Columbian art. During the 1920s, he was hailed as Poland's "greatest living artist". The style of his art was called "Bent Classicism".[2]
