The artist known as Bael has found a place on the London art scene with a series of stark, haunting figurative paintings. Using himself as the model in most of these works to date has given them a unique narcissistic intensity. In his new show, ‘Rokoko’, Bael has found an inverted inspiration in the excessively ornate world of the Rococo. Sticking to his austere guns, the artist has reinterpreted some of the mythological scenes and characters in his own inimitable style.

Over the years a number of our artists have used the iconic image of a Panda in works that we have shown in our gallery. In whatever form they take these works always seems to be a sure-fire hit. So we thought, why don't we ask a large group of artists to paint or draw a whole show full of cuddly creatures and have ourselves a sell-out, recession-proof show?
Without wanting to be totally frivolous and cynical, rest assured we are talking to the WWF (World Wildlife Fund) who are supporting us and the plan is to donate some of the huge profits made from the show to protecting our furry friends.

Queen of Hoxton
Despite already being one of East London’s most popular venues, the old girl hasn’t let complacency set in and in late 2010 she underwent a spot of surgery; the installation of a brand new Funktion One soundsystem, and the creation of a stunning rooftop garden complete with BBQ kitchen, bar, garden shed bathrooms, fountain, hanging gardens, astroturf and panoramic views over the city of London – the perfect spot for a mojito in the sunshine.
