PLACES AMONG THE STARS

Joint Exhibition at Lacey Contemporary Gallery
8th - 25th June 2016 | PV: 18th June 6pm-9pm

If you have ever looked up on a clear night and seen a blanket of stars it is not hard to be moved by the vastness and the beauty of the night sky. It is no surprise that astronomy has been of interest to artists for centuries: Leonardo di Vinci owned a copy of Ptolemy's 'Cosmography”, as well as a book by the medieval Persian astronomer Abu Mashar and one of the most recognizable works of all time Van Gogh's Starry sky is a swirling depiction of the stars above Arles.

Places Among the Stars is a new exhibition at Lacey Contemporary Gallery featuring contemporary painter Pandora Mond's newest collection ofExoplanet paintings, alongside The Royal Society of British Sculptors' fellow Almuth Tebbenhoff, who will be exhibiting a selection of works from herEmpty Spheres series (sculptures inspired by lunar eclipses).

 Places Among the Stars will bring the great vastness and humbling beauty of the cosmos, into Holland Park's Lacey Contemporary Gallery, giving the viewers an opportunity to get lost in space.

Places Among the Stars will be exhibited at Lacey Contemporary Gallery in Holland Park between the 8th - 25th June 2016. The exhibition will open with a private view with the artists on Wednesday 8th June between 6-9pm. For more information and high-res images contact [email protected]
