Outside In are looking for Outside In artists to submit art works for an exhibition called ‘Environments’

The exhibition will be a group exhibition showing work by 80 artists.

The exhibition will be at Piano Nobile Gallery which is in London.

The exhibition will be open from 28 October 2019 and close on 1 January 2020.

Artwork an environment by artist Tedi Lena called ‘Landscape: Chaty moment’

The theme of the exhibition is Environments.

What does environments mean? An environment can mean everything that is around you.

An environment might be where you live, your home, a city or the country side.

You can think about how an environment might make you feel and what your ideal environment would look like.

You might also want to think about climate change and how the change in weather might be effecting our world.

You can apply if you are an Outside In artist and live in the United Kingdom or Republic of Ireland.

You can submit one to four pieces of art works which fit the theme of environments.

You can submit all types of art work including: painting, drawing, film, small sculpture, photography, prints and digital art.

The artwork can be any size but we will need to be able to fix it to a wall. This means that large sculptural work won’t be able to be displayed.

You can submit your art work through your online gallery for free.

Click ‘Log in’ on the Outside In website and log into your online gallery. When you click on an artwork it will give you the option to submit it to this exhibition.

All the submissions will be judged by a selection of people. They will be from Outside In including an Outside In artist and from Piano Nobile Gallery.

Artist’s description: “I feel that I soak up an environment and then what I put on the canvas is my feelings, my emotions. I am not producing a photocopy of an image, that is not my aim, it is how I feel about the

subject that is important.”

Artist: Mathew BeadonTitle: Untitled 2Description: Pencil on card.Mathew describes his drawings as ‘pictures of houses’ and they usually contain architectural details and geometric patterns.

He works slowly with great patience and concentration.

Artist: Sam Parratt Title: UntitledDescription: The inspiration for the painting was a photograph of India from a magazine, Sam added his own twist by adding a hungry Tiger.

In Sam’s words: “The Indian Tiger is having a break while the men

are sewing, because he is hungry. Maybe they are his dinner, because the Tiger is a hungry predator.”
