You got to love penny

wondering if there will be an "exploding stencil" on display.. not a literal explosion but the multiple layers of the stencil all lined up leading to the image it came together to create?

That would be great - maybe there will be a few framed up

Think it's the 17th dappy? I will find out for sure and confirm it, I think he wants to keep it fair and give everyone the opportunity to buy his work on the launch night...at the moment I would take 17th as the preview opening night. He did mention you the other day dappy, and I know there are going to be be 25 'special' invitations sent out prior to the show...

^ Thanks for letting me know. Just need to arrange work and things. I await the confirm ;D

have you seen that bloke willard wigan's stuff not stenciling but it's small

A sculptor has painstakingly crafted a minute sculpture of Olympian Tom Daley the size of a human blood cell.

Willard Wigan spent months carving the model out of gold flakes so small that even the pulse in his finger could crush them.

It is the artist’s smallest work to date which he painted using the hair from the leg of a fruit fly as a brush as this studio in Birmingham.

stuff like willard wigan does makes me feel a bit queasy. everything's just too scaled down it makes my sense of proportion go all out of whack. (oh and i just can't get my head round how it's done).

also, what an odd website for it to be reported by!!

Snik is good too !!

you like boobs then

The Directors of Rook & Raven Gallery invite you to the private view of

PENNY

'Economy of Scale’

Private View: Thursday 17th May 18:30 – 21:30

‘Economy of scale’ is the first solo exhibition from the multidisciplinary artist Penny, featuring a plethora of work from the London-based artist, including his signature intricately-cut stencils, mixed media works with currency, taxidermy butterflies, and for the first time a display of his process works and stencil skeletons.

Penny’s first major display of work will make wry reference to everything from religion, the Renaissance and the Victorian era, featuring
a pick and mix Penny Shop, where a selection of smaller-scale works will be on sale alongside the main body of artwork; and of course, no show would be complete without a new selection of Penny’s highly sought-after single note currency and his now signature works on uncut sheets of dollars, sourced directly from the Federal Reserve. Economy of Scale is itself a paradigm, showcasing small stencils, big ideas and the notion that currency itself can become a work of art, which in turn becomes more valuable when altered. After all, the devil is in the detail.

Economy of Scale opens to the public on the 18th of May at Rook & Raven Gallery through to June 21st 2012.
Private View takes place on 17th May from 6.30pm until 9.30pm.

Does that mean there will be a preview for the lucky 25 before the preview show on the 17th?

i'm scared the prices may be too high for me.
