Alison Knight "Assemblage" at La Galleria Pall Mall
Alison Knight and Richard Trench
The Antisomnambulist show, La Galleria Pall Mall April 18-21, 2011.
“ Last time it was Assemblage art and a matching photographic story- Jane and the Ape, a photographic tale of Passion. This time promises another adventure into the somewhat surreal world of this London based duo, the Antisomnambulists.” – David Clarke
‘My Map of Your Life’ (and other stories): Assemblage by Alison Knight
‘Lisette’s Dream’: Photographs by Richard Trench, ARPS
This is the second show by the unusual London based duo. Alison Knight’s intriguing and often amusing assemblages dovetail nicely with the photographs of Richard Trench who specialises in the somewhat niche area of making emotive images from miniature antique figures, often using elements of Alison’s assemblage pieces.
The odd thing about both the photographs and the assemblages is their strange dreamlike quality and in the case of the images, a curious ability to make scale irrelevant compared to the emotive content.

Lucchi Leonardo, 32 Sculptures on show at the Royal Opera Arcade Gallery
Exhibition opens April 11- 27th April

The Swing, Sarong and The Skipping Rope: Three masterpieces by Leonardo Lucchi
Three of the most interesting sculptures of Leonardo Lucchi are The Swing, Sarong and The Skipping Rope. Their poses are all in movement, three beautiful girls playing, ready to escape the room and go outdoors. This 'unstatic' tendency that they have is the sculpture's main brilliance, at least for my part. Without escaping into abstract shapes, the sculptor has achieved a figurative perfection and at the same time absolute movement. Placing each of these sculptures in a room creates a light positive atmosphere that can drive us back to our pleasurable childhood memories. You shouldn't miss the opportunity to see them live in Lucchi's Exhibition at ROA Gallery in Pall Mall (12th until the 28th of April).

Resonance Art exhibition in the Royal Opera Arcade Gallery
The Katherine Maginnis visual arts agency is launching its first exhibition with a collection of abstract paintings at the ROA Gallery, London. Collaborating with emerging and midcareer artists of various disciplines, the intention is to develop work that is guided by a visceral sensibility. The show explores the interplay between the internal state and the exterior world inhabited by the artists. Painters, Dragica Carlin, Simon Cook, Nicholas de Serra and Clare Wilson interpret their surroundings, experiences and memories, to create works that are underpinned by an emotional resonance.
Dragica Carlin searches for an abstract visual language that captures a metaphysical narrative. Through her paintings, Carlin explores the notion of the reciprocal action between man and his environment.
Simon Cook’s new body of work has been paired down to an abstract entity. Employing natural materials with a synthetic colour palette, Cook creates paintings which posses a luminous quality and a spiritual connection.
Nicholas De Serra takes us on a journey where duality and difference combine to create works that quietly resonate. Influenced by the economic/political landscape and his rural surroundings, his densely detailed pieces are neither ‘Concrete’ nor descriptive narratives.
Clare Wilson’s paintings emerge from a process of layering, removing and reworking - in doing so, the works are simplified to a place of stillness. Wilson draws from the detail of a moment, its curious shadows, abstract movements, textures and memories which resurface in a veiled light.
