It runs from 2nd April until the 28th April and also features the work of Lisa Henderson David Gleeson Deborah Walker and Kim Bramley.The house extension has slowed down my art practice but im steadily working on a new painting which will hopefully be ready for my next show at The Brewhouse in Burton. Well see. 2012-4-8 09:30:09 http://www.marklippett.co.uk/page10.htm#115258 25th March 2012The Architecture exhibition at The Shire Hall Gallery finishes today and has resulted in the sale of two of my paintings St Patricks Place and 41A. Its always a great complement when my work is sold but its mixed with a hint of sadness because I do get quite attached to most of my work. However I always feel that it makes room for new work to be created which is exactly what I intend to do.The next show Im involved in is the one at the New Vic Theatre as part of the FIVE collective.The exhibition runs from the 2nd to the 28th April and also features David Gleeson Lisa Henderson Deborah Walker and Kim Bramley.Meanwhile the builders have almost completed the extension at my home which will include an art studio. Once this is built i will be able to produce more workThank you to everyone who visited my current show hope you enjoyed it. 2012-3-25 11:54:11 http://www.marklippett.co.uk/page10.htm#111944 Just added a new piece to the BuildingsOutdoor Scenes section of the website. Its a drawing called Sandonia which is based on a derelict building on the Sandon Road in Stafford. Apparently many years ago it was a cinema and a theatre before that. A few years earlier i painted the back of the building without realising that it was actually the Sandonia. That piece was Unsafe Structure.There are some interesting photographs of the interior on the internet taken by Urban Explorers which are quite fascinating to see. I have also seen other pictures by Urban Explorers of places both near to home and further afield of derelict places normally hidden from view. I may use these as future references for my work. 2012-2-6 21:31:57 http://www.marklippett.co.uk/page10.htm#111385 Unfortunately I didnt get through to the next round of Show Me the Monet but I suppose I did well to be shortlisted. On the plus side I have a number of exhibitions lined up this year the next being Architecture at The Shire Hall Gallery in Stafford. This runs from the 11th February to the 25th March 2012. 2012-1-29 15:34:13 http://www.marklippett.co.uk/page10.htm#110792 I have just found out that I have been shortlisted for series 2 of Show Me the Monet. I entered a while ago having no idea what they were looking for or whether my work would appeal. BBC2 rang me up today and told me that out of 3000 entries I was one of the 300 artists selected for the next round. Its quite an achievement to have even got that far but it would be nice to end up in the exhibition which will be held in London later this year. You can read more on the shows website. The piece I entered is 41A which you can view on my website.In other news I will soon be exhibiting some of my work in the next show at The Shire Hall Gallery in Stafford. The title is Architecture and will also feature a few other artists. You can view my forthcoming shows on the exhibitions page of this website. 2012-1-20 16:15:45 http://www.marklippett.co.uk/page10.htm#109154 Well its Christmas Eve as I write this. 2012 will prove to be a busy one for me with a new studio soon to be built and several exhibitions lined up.My One Day Exhibition at Hand Morgan amp Owen Solicitors has been extended until the end of January and in February i will be showing a number of pieces in the Architecture exhibition at The Shire Hall Gallery in Stafford.
