1st Thursdays - Tintype (Redchurch street)

Tintype

Tintype on Redchurch street is back to just one small gallery space, which is a shame. I find their selection of artworks always quite interesting. This time they mainly had artists that made collages and drawings. It is the attention that is enclosed in this work that attracts me to them. When having a chat with the woman from the gallery she told me that she had selected the works and that they were all London based except for one, which could be useful for our own exhibition in April or other future exhibitions.

At the same time I am very aware that the type of works is brave, you will find a type of aesthetics return in most of the works. But in a street as Redchurch street with some other galleries that show more spectaculair works Tintype contains its own value.
