It’s always lovely to discover a new artist and this weekend I stumbled across the work of a lady called Georgie Hopton. Her exhibition ‘Cut and Come Again’ is partly like a grown-up version of potato prints! After successfully growing a vegetable garden at her home in the Catskills in 2005, she started photographing herself with her harvest. She then began using the vegetables as tools, dipping them in acrylic paint to create brightly coloured abstract prints on paper. Finally the vegetables and chopping board are cast in bronze. It’s an intriguing, playful and very personal series of work.
The show is part of the Nomad galleries programme and is therefore on in a space temporarily commandeered just for this exhibition so catch it while you can!
Cut and Come Again is organised Poppy Sebire and is at 232 King’s Road, London SW3 5UD until May 29th 2010.
