MARTY PARTY

2010-09-30T14:50:00.002+01:00

Few artists could claim to be in the collections of such a distinguished line-up of celebrities.

His works are owned by Madonna, Ivana Trump, the legendary Barbara Hulanicki of Biba fame, Kate Moss, Joanna Lumley, Molly Parkin and Debbie Moore of Pineapple Studios to mention a few.

Born in London’s East End, MARTY proudly boasts of his Romany background that brings to his work a unique fire and light which is his distinctive hallmark.

Coming from a designer background, much of MARTY’s career has been involved with interior design which has taken him to the four corners of the world branching out from there into bespoke jewellery design and now fine art, too.

His recent shows include The Brick Lane Art Fair, Chelsea Arts Club, Muse Gallery, Portobello Rd, Notting Hill Gate, London and SOLO in New York City.

His artworks represent the culmination of his experiences and global adventures and, of course, that gypsy blood that gives his work that matchless sparkle. 2008 marks the year of his launch in the United States and now 2010 launches his establishment with Sphere Gallery

Our Latest Artist

2010-09-18T17:20:00.002+01:00

Come see our Latest Artist: LENE BLADBJERG http://www.spheregallery.co.uk/artists_profile.php?artist=69

Here is her Profile:

Lene Bladbjerg is a danish artist based in London. She was born in Denmark in 1974, but grew up in Brussels, Belgium. The multinational environment prompted Lene's passion for exploring new countries and cultures, which has influenced her work as an artist.

In 1995, Lene attended Kent Institute of Art and Design, Rochester, England and later graduated from London College of Printing with a 1:1 Degree honours in Graphic and Media Design in 2000. During her time studying, she had the opportunity to do workplacements in Denmark, England and The Philippines. Since then, she has been working from her studio in Crystal Palace, South London, as a full-time visual artist and freelance graphic designer.

Lene Bladbjerg’s work is influenced by her background as a graphic designer. Typography and grids drift in and out of her pieces creating haunting images and surprising messages. Her work can be very thought-provoking. She pays great attention to the smaller scale details of everyday life. In her work she attempts to capture the hidden beauty or interesting aspect of even the most ordinary of events or objects.

She often creates her work by incorporating unusual materials, often re-cycled.

A Beautiful Review

2010-06-02T12:57:00.000+01:00

On Sunday, I had visited not only The Brick Lane Market, but also the Old Spitalfields Market which is nearby. At that time, I had picked up a brochure for a gallery named “Sphere Gallery”, which drew my eye.

Not knowing the area very well, I was not able to find it in amongst the crowd that day. I was drawn to return yesterday… the art showcased on their brochure was compelling. So, upon finding the gallery yesterday, I was not only very pleasantly surprised by the wonderful variety of art, I was welcomed and had a wonderful visit with the gallery owners. There is a wonderful feeling in that gallery, and I encourage all who are in the area to check it out!

Review just dicovered

Now this makes our day!

Sphere gallery - London Spitalfields‎‎ By Inga - 5 Feb 2010 I have popped in on my lunch break to Sphere Gallery, did not know there is this lovely gallery in London Spitalfields. My favourite paintings were by Carl BouMansour. On my way out had a lovely chat with the director Ruaridh. I am new to this area and am interested in art, Ruaridh has suggested some websites for me to check out and learn more about the artists. Would recommend everyone to pop in!‎ maps.google.com

Well here we are!

Blogging, we thought we would ever understand this ( and still a bit new, well very new). So I just thought I would add at least something to start. When we get our head around this at bit more we promise to keep you all up to date on all developments.

Cheers
