Art gallery to open at North Pole?

by

There are art galleries almost everywhere in the world, but there is one place where they are conspicuous by their absence. Or they would be if it wasn’t snowing a blizzard most of the time.

Rumours have been spreading since the House of Lord’s Advent party, when, during an ad hoc game of table football, Menton Spry accidentally told his teammates that Pimlico Wilde were planning to open an art gallery at the north pole. “Their new slogan will be London New York North Pole,” he told anyone who was listening.

One of those listening was award-winning journalist Sally Quite, who works for the Fine Art Guardian, based in Toronto. She it was who had the scoop and announced the exciting news to the world.

”The news is correct,” Carlisle Pau confirmed to thousands of waiting journalists, from the steps of the latest Pimlico Wilde gallery in San Diego. “We will be opening a gallery at the North Pole, once we have found a cement that can be used at minus five hundred °C, or whatever the temperature is at the NP.”

He simultaneously released an artist’s impression of what the gallery will look like, which is printed above.

Vincent and the Van Goghs to release first single

by

Vincent and the Van Goghs are a band composed of art dealers who all met on the set of the I said Monet not Mondrian! reality TV programme. “We are an unusual mix of indie rock and swing, with a dash of rap as well”, explained frontman Scissors Coney, art dealer at Jones & Jones. “You might also notice some early medieval influences on some of our records – sometimes an emotion can only be expressed through Gregorian Chant.”

Membership of the group is fluid, but currently includes-

Scissors Coney – vocals and guitar – Head of Sporting Art, Jones & Jones, Cheltenham
Safah Pulle – drums and double bass – Director of Acquisitions, Simpkin Hodges, Bond Street
Armani Suoff – backing vocals, xylophone, triangle and bass guitar – Gallery manager, Ottimo Arte, Milamo
Edward Grunt – tamberine – Owner, The Grunt Gallery,

The title of the first single will be ‘Singing the Phthalocyanine Blues’ with a B side of ‘I like it, Caravaggio, but it’s a bit dark”.

Boz brings their witty portraits to Pimlico Wilde

by

Boz reinvents the society portrait for a new generation, filling the canvas not just with the chap/chapess being immortalised, but also with the sort of joie de vivre that can only be found in places like St Tropez, Minorca or Rhyl.
“I love creating a likeness of celebrities. Ever since I painted the dog when I was three – it took my mother hours to clean its fur – it has been my dream to earn a living as an artist. Now my work sells for prices that boggle the mind, which is a great reward for the years of poverty I endured as I learned my trade.”

Boz lives between Calais and Dover. He loves the sea and has a fully fitted artist’s studio on board a ferry which plies its trade across the Channel. “I love life on the open waves. The phone reception isn’t great, which I love. I can pretend I didn’t get any messages.”

Commissions by Boz can take slightly longer than normal as it is hard to contact them.

London Street Photography – Frog

by

What a photograph! This is the sort of photo that photography was invented for. Has anything better been taken for years? The waiter, the diners, oh how I would like to be able to hear their conversation. How beguiling it is to see and yet be unable to share fully in the moment. How hard it is for us to watch such happiness, such wild abandon. And the frog! This is one of the few photographs from central London that features a frog, and what does it tell us except this: photographers, take more frog photos. The presence of a frog elevates the picture from Domenicino to Michelangelo. I have to have it!

Mark May King – King of drawing

by

Sketcher of contemporary life, mmk’s career as an artist is surprising given his parents hoped he would take over their successful penny arcade on the pier at Cuddleton beach. “It took a while before they would talk to me again, and by a while I mean seventeen years. But since my work has been selling for thousands of pounds they seem to have forgiven me.”

mmk has two styles, black and white and black and white and colour. “I am inspired by everything I see, which is great as I never run out of subjects. I am deeply inspired by the line art of 16th century female genius Matilda Suggerio, as well as the famous cartoons by Godolphin Sasso in the Medici holiday palace near Leghorn.”

Pimlico Wilde to sponsor the English Pell Mell team

by

Pell Mell is not the sporting force it was a few centuries ago, but there are still pockets of the country where it is more popular than football, soccer and spin the Trencher combined. Pell Mell captain Rory Spittoon commented, “This is wonderful news, better even than the birth of my fourteenth daughter. With Pimlico Wilde behind us English Pell Mell will hopefully race up the international standings. We are currently thirtieth in the world, just behind Monaco and Bangladesh, but being the inventors of the sport we should be in the top two or three.”

Is Hackson Jollock the greatest artist ever?

by

Oh, the movement, the color, the sheer effervescence and joie de vivre. Hackson Jollock represents all that is magnificent in this late-capitalist millennium. Funded by the SAE to help push the envelope, Jollock is one of the artists mentioned in the Lavenham Art Society Gazette’s Hundred Artists under a Hundred living in Hounslow. Hackson has also won the prestigious Pig Portrait of the Year for an early figurative work simply called Pig. Sorry he is no longer doing animal portraits, but his latest action pictures are available, as are his interpretations of people.

Death in a Tree – new indie film gets funding

by

Our first Indie film, called simply ‘Death in a Tree,’ has been green lit. Written by the newcomer Saus Pilli, it tells the story of a woman who resigns as CEO of a large kindergarten to build her dream house in a tree overlooking the Irish Sea. Covering the setbacks and challenges, as well as the good times as she falls in love with a tree surgeon who comes to chop the tree down. We are expecting critics to use words like brilliant, well-written, delightful, and phrases like You won’t see what’s coming, coming. Look out for Death in a Tree in cinemas this Autumn.
