Thank you @slam for this great article about Lakwena Maciver: Jump exhibition.
"Lakwena Maciver’s ‘The Jump Paintings’ Captures the Beauty of the Game by Reimagining Basketball Courts."
"The basic layout of a basketball court has provided the canvas for Maciver’s most recent hoops project, “The Jump Paintings.”
Each court in her series is an abstract portrait of the player it represents, cryptically alluding to their personalities, journey and character. Unlike her previous blacktop designs, these courts hang vertically on gallery walls and are the exact size of the player who inspired the creation, with “Tyrone” (top right, based on Muggsy Bogues) standing at 5 feet, 3 inches and “Manute” (top left), based on Manute Bol at 7 feet, 7 inches."

Seafaring brings together more than fifty works from 1820 to the present day, exploring the drama, beauty and strangeness of life at sea.
At the heart of the exhibition is Lost at Sea, a show-within-a-show featuring three oil paintings by eminent contemporary artist Cecily Brown (b.1969) as well as lithographs by Martin Kippenberger (1953-1997) from his suite Raft of the Medusa (1996), alongside a rare 19th century mezzotint based on the famous Géricault painting.
Gallery Director Liz Gilmore says, “From JMW Turner to Cecily Brown, Seafaring brings together beautiful, powerful works by a stellar group of artists. Ten years ago our building opened on the Stade and Seafaring is the perfect exhibition for our anniversary year.”
Open Wednesday - Sunday 11am - 5pm

⭐️ Frame of the Week ⭐️
This week features more works from our dear friend Sir Quentin Blake @quentinblakehq ready for his forthcoming exhibition at Hastings Contemporary @_art_on_sea
These are large, quite a contrast to what we’re used to framing for Quentin! We’ve stuck to the same theme, white on ash supersized moulding with our beautiful museum quality glass, float mounted giving a stunning contemporary finish 🖼 👌
For more information on our guild commended framing service visit blackshedpictureframing.co.uk or send us a DM!
