Artist Studio Clear-out
15 JANUARY 2010 — 21 FEBRUARY 2010
January and February will see the gallery explode in artwork. We are having a Artist Studio Clearout and have asked all our artist to have a purge of their studios and get us all those nice little bits and pieces that normally don’t see the light of day. The artists have been asked to bring in some odd items from the studios for sale. It will be a chance to get some thing a little different from your favourite artist for a January friendly price! Alongside this we will also be having a sale on our custom frames and some very generous discounts on limited edition prints just while the show is on.
EINE & ZEUS
Crimes and Punishments
27 NOVEMBER 2009 — 24 DECEMBER 2009
For our current show at Ink_d Gallery we bring together two urban art heavyweights; Eine & Zeus. Both are prolific street artists and innovators in typography and both have pushed the boundaries in a way that has redefined how we see graffiti as an art form. Eine is best known for his alphabets and letters on shutters and Zeus for his three dimensional images and sculptures based around his writing style. They come together at Ink_d for ‘Crimes and Punishments’ where their collaboration has produced a heavy hitting alphabet in Pen & Ink. The show will feature beautifully framed original work on paper combining illustrations of crimes and punishments with Eine’s inimitable fonts and drawings of Eine’s hands by Zeus. There will also be our usual affordable screen printed show poster and an exclusive low edition print release available during the show. The rest of ink_d. Stuff your stockings and feast your eyes in our Christmas shop. Fabulous affordable prints, ceramics, sculpture and cards from all your favourite Ink_d artists. We are also happy to announce the new Ink_d book and artzine section! Get comfy, have a read and flick through some great art books and ‘zines and maybe even leave with a little something for yourself. And there’s more……The Modern Toss ‘Shit Nak Shop’ is back! Guaranteed to get you giggling, sooth your hangovers and offend your granny. Isn’t that what Christmas is all about?
Group Show
The Power of Portrait
23 OCTOBER 2009 — 15 NOVEMBER 2009
Our next show at Ink_d explores the power of the portrait and the status it gives its subject through painting, print and drawings. Featuring new work from Aimee Parrott, Foundry, MissBugs and Sten & Lex ‘The Power of Portrait’ will inspire questions of identity, biography, diversity and fame, which lie at the heart of portraiture and how the artist interprets their subject. The most powerful and recognisable image to the human eye is the human face. A portrait is an artistic representation of a person in which the face and its expression is predominant. The intent is to show a likeness or capture the qualities, personality or mood of the subject. Upstairs @ Ink_d We continue the theme of portraiture with work from Alex Binnie, Zachary Walsh, Simon Dixon, Req and introducing to the gallery Jack Joiner, Jane Sampson and Laurie J Proud.

UPSTAIRS @ Ink_d - REQ In our gallery upstairs we continue with our love of everything local with the legend that is REQ. Req’s one line figures, originally developed in the 1990s, are reworked in new scenes for his show ‘Apparitions’ alongside his beautiful work on the female nude. Req's figures represent a focal point of the feelings of Harmony and Mystery encountered during the artist’s wanderings around Brighton. These figures were designed primarily as a balance away from depictions of specific people towards a symbol of the feminine principle.
Zachary Walsh
Greek Street
31 JULY 2009 — 23 AUGUST 2009
Ink_d Gallery and Studio announce an exhibition of new paintings by one of today’s most talented and exciting figurative painters Zachary Walsh. For his show at Ink_d titled ‘Greek Street’ Walsh has created a body of work using visual imagery from Greek Mythology to represent characters with which the artist has a relationship turning Gods, Goddesses, Nymphs and Monsters from myth into reality. A figurative painter in the truest sense, Walsh ultimately paints portraits in a traditional style on the one-hand, and then fits those perfectly around carefully chosen graphic imagery and abstract backgrounds to create portraits that are consciously contemporary and edgy. As a result Walsh’s work is full of interesting juxtapositions which strangely compliment each other. ‘Ancient Europe had no gods. The Great Goddess was regarded as immortal, changeless, and omnipotent; and the concept of fatherhood had not been introduced into religious thought. She took lovers, but for pleasure, not to provide her children with a father. Men feared, adored, and obeyed the matriarch’ ‘The Greek Myths, Robert Graves’

She is a natural born traveller and loves to move to new cities and indulge in all the cultural differences and fun she encounters. She has a passion for creating powerful, thought provoking images, trying new techniques and experimenting with materials. Also showing UPSTAIRS @ INK_D is Brighton based graffiti artist IMBUE presenting his first solo show 'A World Gone Mad'; an exhibition highlighting controversial issues surrounding everything that is wrong with modern society but with a good dose of humour .
