Previews 2nd September from 7pm at The Castle Pub, a5 Grosvenor Rise East, Walthamstow, London, E17 9LB
Exhibition 3rd - 12th September
In
his first collection of drawings since his departure from the
embroidery world, Carne is gathering together the influences from his
previous work and developing his unique style of drawing. The Harvest
references paintings and drawings by artists such as Da Vinci, Ribera
and Verrochio, and explore the freedom of the drawn line. A planned
lightbox installation will reveal the reverse of these drawings and
continue themes of secrecy and obsession threaded throughout his work
4 pieces from the series will be exhibited in hand crafted lightboxes in New Orleans from the 23rd-29th October as part of the Arts After Dark exhibition.
Carne is currently seeking representation from a gallery, and is looking to immerse himself fully in his artwork in the coming year.

Prophecy
Posted on: Tue, 29 Jun 2010
DegreeArt.com presents Swedish artist Johan Andersson's debut solo show. Central Saint Martin's graduate Johan Andersson's, who was identified as one of the Independent's top 20 graduates of 2008, will be exhibiting selected works in his debut London solo show at the new DegreeArt.com Gallery, 12a Vyner Street, London E2.
Countless faces. Infinite eyes. Walking past. Unnoticed.
The title for Johan Andersson's debut solo show 'Prophecy', from the Greek 'prophetia', defines the belief that divine inspiration can stir revelations.
The subjects of Johan's paintings are people, or more precisely faces which the artist uses to honour the individual by offering a window into the sitter's personality, emotions and spirituality.
The figures are taken beyond the boundaries of conventional beauty seeking to question our preconceived ideals through the magnification of unusual features and unashamed honesty.
We become transfixed by their haunting eyes, their courage amidst paralysis, all set against a backdrop of hope. Prophecy offers the viewer the rare opportunity to encounter characters bearing their complete souls.
His unique and accomplished style has attracted the attention of the art world seeing Johan win the Jerwood Contemporary Painters' Prizein 2008 and in 2007 being the youngest artist ever to be included in the top three on the BP Portrait Award shortlist. Since graduation Johan has exhibited widely and has laid the foundations of an extremely successful career.
