We visited British artist Francesca Blomfield’s solo exhibition “Daisies.” The venue is the artist-run space “2x2x2 (twobytwobytwo)”.
Francesca Blomfield solo exhibition “Daisies”
2x2x2 by imlabor is a gallery run by two artists, and the space also normally serves as their atelier.
Its name comes from the 2m x 2m window facing the street, but it is more often referred to as “im labor.”

Francesca Blomfield’s solo show came about through the connection that one of the artists running the space was her classmate at a British art university.
Installation view
Francesca Blomfield is a British contemporary artist based in London.
She primarily makes wood-carved sculptures evocative of the reliefs of Baroque architecture, along with intricately rendered, almost cipher-like drawings and paintings that combine decorative imagery with text.
The show centered on new works featuring wood-carved sculpture and drawings.

Although this space limits its promotional activity to updating its Instagram and official website, works are exhibited for sale, making it an appealing art space with a gallery-like dimension as well.
Note that it is open only Thursdays through Saturdays.
We look forward to following its future exhibitions with interest.

영국 아티스트 Francesca Blomfield의 개인전 “Daisies”를 방문했습니다. 회장은 아티스트 런 스페이스인 “2x2x2(twobytwobytwo)”입니다.
Francesca Blomfield 개인전 “Daisies”
2x2x2 by imlabor는 두 명의 아티스트가 운영하는 갤러리로, 평소에는 아틀리에로도 사용되는 공간입니다.
길거리에 면한 2m×2m의 창문에서 스페이스명이 유래했지만, 일반적으로는 “im labor(임 레이버)”라고 불리는 경우가 많다고 합니다.

Francesca Blomfield의 개인전은 이 공간을 운영하는 아티스트 중 한 명이 다녔던 영국 미술대학교의 동급생이라는 인연으로 개최되기에 이르렀다고 합니다.
전시 풍경
Francesca Blomfield는 런던을 거점으로 활동하는 영국 현대 아티스트입니다.
그녀는 바로크 건축의 부조를 연상시키는 목조 조각, 그리고 장식적인 이미지와 텍스트를 조합하여 치밀하게 그려진, 마치 암호와 같은 드로잉 및 페인팅 작품을 중심으로 제작하고 있습니다.
본 전시에서는 신작인 목조가 시술된 작품과 드로잉을 중심으로 구성되었습니다.

Instagram과 공식 사이트를 갱신하는 것 외에는 적극적인 홍보 활동을 하지 않는 스페이스이지만, 작품은 전시 판매되고 있어 갤러리적인 측면도 지닌 매력적인 아트 스페이스입니다.
