It could be YOURS! There are just two weeks left to visit the OPEN at Atelier. We can't believe that it has gone by so fast, but it's almost time to take down this excellent and eclectic show. Come and see the 280 pieces by 180 artists and pick up a piece for yourself. We guarantee that there is something for everyone in this epic show. It's wonderful to spend time with so many artworks, and we are all a little bit in love with this handmade hook and latch rug by Simon Fraser. Measuring 148 x 218 cm and made of pink Romney wool on a canvas backing, it's quite the statement piece. "My rugs are based on small items (a lottery ticket, a Sainsbury's receipt, a rail ticket etc)" says Simon, "which I then enlarge. There's something about things being the wrong scale that I find very appealing and amusing." Grayson Perry obviously thought so too, as he bought Simon's train ticket rug for himself. Snag a Simon Fraser rug for yourself in the OPEN and check out all the other great pieces too! |
