The Art of Marc Potts
This month we’re pleased to feature the work of Marc Potts. Living and working in an old thatched cottage on the edge of Dartmoor, Marc’s art is infused with the spirits of this wild place. It speaks of ancient creatures and hedgerow magic. Describing himself as ‘an avid devourer of all things folkloric’, Marc’s art and writing reflects this. He has contributed to numerous projects, including a jewellery range created in collaboration with his wife Kelly Martinez, and the Shared Legends project. Marc’s work is available as prints from his website. Please stop by the gallery to see more.

This month we are pleased to welcome John Pilkinton as our Featured Artist. British based John is a former photographer and modelmaker who has since returned to his love of drawing.

His work combines artistic nudes with the odd nod to art nouveau, in a very striking graphic style. John will be exhibiting in the Brick Lane Gallery, London as part of the Art in Mind Exhibition series 10-23rd April 2012.
