I don’t usually write about gigs but this one definitely needs mentioning. I was blown away by 19-year-old Bristol based singer songwriter, <a href="http://vanessahartley.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Vanessa Hartley</a>, at <a href="http://www.theartshouse.org/" target="_blank">the Arts House</a> in Stokes Croft this week. It’s not often you see an up and coming artist of this quality.<br />
<br />
Vanessa’s beautiful mellow voice and honest lyrics left me alternating between goose bumps and holding back tears. She has a real humbleness and sincerity that shine out through her music. Above all it’s her voice and amazing control of it that stick in my head. This is definitely one to see live.<br />
<br />
Vanessa, who describes her music as “a warm mix of folk and soul, with a pinch of jazz”, was accompanied by backing singers, violin, base and harmonica. She had clear support from her family at the launch of her first album and I for one wish her great things.<br />
<br />
Vanessa is playing at <a href="http://www.theoldbookshop.co.uk/index.html" target="_blank">The Old Bookshop</a> on 23 March and regularly plays at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/vivalamexicana.co.uk" target="_blank">Viva la Mexicana</a> restaurant.</div>

<a href="http://www.bvstudios.co.uk/" target="_blank">BV studios</a> hosts a collection of passionate abstract oil paintings this Friday to Sunday (15 - 17 November 2013) by Aylesbury born artist <a href="http://www.andrewlitten.com/" target="_blank">Andrew Litten</a>.<br />
<br />
I love this introduction to Andrew's work by <a href="http://www.janeboyer.com/" target="_blank">Jane Boyer</a>:<br />
<i>"Andrew Litten’s work stirs from the groin – that place of raw bestiality and tenderest compassion. It is the place we all fear; a place of the extreme duality and conflicting, barely controllable urges – a bipolarity of our human beast within." </i><br />

There are some lovely impressionist oil paintings of South Bristol and the city centre currently on display at Bedminster cafe <a href="http://www.cafegrounded.co.uk/" target="_blank">Grounded</a>. The artist, <a href="http://www.nigelshipley.com/" target="_blank">Nigel Shipley</a>, captures the atmosphere by painting there and then in outdoor spots.<br />

<a href="http://www.philadelphiastreet.co.uk/imaginarium--joachim-seitfudem-and-rachel-falber.html" target="_blank">Imaginarium</a> is a show of dark and surreal work at the <a href="http://www.philadelphiastreet.co.uk/" target="_blank">Philadelphia Street Gallery</a> running until 19 August. Detailed sculptures by German-born artist, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29398165@N04/8079636642/" target="_blank">Joachim Seitfudem</a>, bring the imagination to life before your eyes. While Bristol illustrator, <a href="http://www.hareraisingdesigns.com/" target="_blank">Rachel Falber</a>, delves beneath the skin revealing a more skeletal side of our animal world. The exhibition explores themes of human psychosis and spiritual exploration…the more you look, the more you see…</div>

I've admired the scrap metal sculptures in the window of <a href="http://freakstreetstudios.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Freak Street Studios</a> on Bedminster Parade for a while, so I thought it was time to find out who'd made them. The line of angular, skeletal dinosaurs are the work of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/SPARX-METAL-WORKS/149612121879011" target="_blank">Sparx Metal Works</a>. Originally trained in scrap metal sculpture, artist Samuel has since broadened his work into other aspects of metalwork, welding and fabrication. This is some very cool metalwork with larger sculptures available for event hire and work done on commission.<br />

The latest exhibition at the <a href="http://www.grantbradleygallery.co.uk/" target="_blank">Grant Bradley Gallery</a>, New Visions III, shows the variety of talented artists from the region. From hand cut paper to sculpture to oil painting it's an eclectic show. The exhibition is on until 27 July, here are some of my favourite pieces...<br />
<br />
I've previously blogged about <a href="http://www.oliversidaway.com/" target="_blank">Oliver Sidaway</a> but I'm a big fan so was really pleased to see a couple of new paintings depicting some unglamourised spots of Bristol in his usual style of loose brushstrokes.<br />

There are some wonderful, moody portraits dotted around the drinking establishments of Totterdown by <a href="http://www.frontroom.org.uk/index.php?view=show_artist&id=155" target="_blank">Jon Porter</a>. John claims to be half-way through a five year plan to teach himself to become a portrait artist...well I think he's doing pretty well! The portraits around the music stage at the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/theoxford.totterdown" target="_blank">Oxford</a> really fit the feel of the place.<br />

I'm really pleased with this giant muscle necklace £25, bought from <a href="http://metalpress.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Metal Press</a> stall at <a href="http://biggreenweek.com/highlight/the-big-market/" target="_blank">Bristol's BIG market</a> - 22 June. The stall had an array of underwater beauties cast in Pewter (and electroplated in silver) from shells found on the shores of Pembrokeshire. The technique came about by a happy accident that lead to some fishy business (sorry).<br />

It was a great opening night to Horace Panter, bassist of <a href="http://www.thespecials.com/" target="_blank">The Specials</a>', exhibition in the cool location of the <a href="http://www.thesquareclub.com/square-art-gallery/" target="_blank">The Square Gallery</a> last Thursday. <br />
<br />
Curated by <a href="http://1loveart.com/" target="_blank">1loveart</a>, the exhibition had a very apt name; <a href="http://www.thesquareclub.com/events/summer-exhibition-obvious-pop-by-horace-panter/" target="_blank">Obvious pop</a>. With pieces that included the iconic McDonalds and Coca-Cola branding the show had an anti-capitalist feel. There was also a strong musical influence to Panter’s work, with images of cassettes and montages dedicated to musicians such as BB King and Bo Diddley.<br />
<br />
Panter describes himself as the luckiest guy in the world; a touring musician and an artist when he’s home, something I’d have to agree with.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://soundcloud.com/bbc-radio-4/thedjderek" target="_blank">DJ Derek</a> accompanied the opening night which was a real treat.<br />
The Square Gallery is open daily from 11am - 10pm. Obvious Pop will run until September 2013.<br />

This is not the luckiest project of the summer with some strong winds during their first Saturday draw and some pretty heavy showers during the second!<br />
<br />
This didn't stop the fun however...I'd forgotten how relaxing it is to sit and draw in the great outdoors. A big thank you to the team who run this event. There were people from young to old having a go at putting on paper the sights of the park or anything else that came into their minds.<br />
<br />
Fingers crossed for some calmer weather for the third <a href="http://www.bigparkdraw.org/" target="_blank">big park draw</a> on 6 July 10.30 - 5pm. You'll find the event in the gazebo next to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Mrs-Browns-Cafe/127595017311698" target="_blank">Mrs Brown's Cafe</a>.<br />

UWE student, <a href="http://www.rosiemclay.com/index.html" target="_blank">Rosie McLay</a>, has some intricate lino prints with gold leafing on show at the <a href="http://www.thevictoriapark.co.uk/" target="_blank">Victoria Park</a> pub this month. Rosie’s subject matter is insects and the portrayal of death as an event that unites us all / shouldn't be shied away from. I particularly like Rosie’s grotesque skeletal sculptures of insects (£50 each).<br />
<br />
Rosie’s work is juxtaposed alongside <a href="http://www.cordeliahutchison.com/" target="_blank">Cordelia Hutchinson</a>’s idyllic oil paintings which I've <a href="http://emilyonthehill.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/cordelia-hutchinson.html" target="_blank">previously</a> blogged about.<br />
<br />
Rosie has also recently exhibited at <a href="http://www.parlourshowrooms.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Parlour Rooms</a> in the show <a href="http://bynaturalcauses.weebly.com/index.html" target="_blank">By Natural Causes</a>.<br />
<br />
...mentioning UWE just reminded me that the<a href="http://info.uwe.ac.uk/events/event.aspx?id=14136" target="_blank"> degree show</a> is currently on at the Bower Ashton Campus and Spike Island until 13 June.<br />

“If we choose, we can live in a world of colourful illusion”<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/3dom22" target="_blank">3Dom</a>’s take on Noam Chomsky’s quote is exactly what he paints; colourful illusion. I like the out of this world, sense of fun that his work brings. It certainly livened up the M32 Underpass in the rain this morning! This smoking man, done with <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sporegraffiti" target="_blank">spore</a> and <a href="http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/macism" target="_blank">macism</a>, has some pretty cool details like the smoke from his mouth and the light from his eyes. <br />
<br />
If you’re from the Bristol area the chances are you’ll recognise some of the other pieces 3Dom has worked on. <br />

These are some haunting eyes, found heading through the M32 underpass - St Agnes side. It really does feel as though you could see into her soul. This piece and others below are the work of Irish street artist, <a href="http://artbyeoin.com/" target="_blank">Eoin</a>, who decorates landscapes with eyes intended to bring you to the point of reflection - a spiritual place. I've included Eoin's recent work from <a href="http://www.upfest.co.uk/" target="_blank">Upfest </a>urban paint festival.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The first of which is Suffolk’s <a href="http://www.maggihambling.com/" target="_blank">Maggi Hambling</a>, often pictured with her customary fag-in-mouth. Hambling’s wild wave paintings are everything I love about the sea; full of colour and ferocity. Her enormous steel sculpture of a scallop on Aldeburgh beach is a piece to stop and sit by. The sculpture was made in honour of Suffolk composer, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Britten" target="_blank">Benjamin Britten</a>, and is inscribed with the words </span><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">"I hear those voices that will not be drowned" from Britton’s opera Peter Grimes which he wrote for life partner, Peter Pears. I lay on the pebbles to take in the enormity of this powerful and romantic sea sculpture. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Peter Grimes will be performed on the beach as part of the Aldeburgh <a href="http://www.aldeburgh.co.uk/events/grimes-beach" target="_blank">music festival</a> beginning 7 June. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

There's some new graffiti in progress on the side of the Masonic Pub on North Street this morning by Christian Guemy aka <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/c215/" target="_blank">C215</a>. The Parisian street artist uses his work to bring attention to groups forgotten or marginalised by society - I've included some of his other work. It's amazing to see huge street art in progress and there'll be plenty more to see this weekend throughout <a href="http://www.upfest.co.uk/" target="_blank">Upfest</a>. This is Europe's largest live urban art festival taking place at these<a href="http://festival.upfest.co.uk/locations/north-street" target="_blank"> locations</a> along North Street so don't miss out!<br />

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I often fall in love with the illustration in children’s books, like Eric Carle's <em>The Hungry Caterpillar</em> and Maurice Sendak’s <em>Where the Wild Things Are,</em> to name but a few. <a href="http://www.natalierussell.co.uk/html/booksmr.html" target="_blank">Moon Rabbit</a> by <a href="http://www.natalierussell.co.uk/html/bio.html" target="_blank">Natalie Russell</a> is another absolute beauty. The Dundee based author, illustrator, and printmaker has used some simple and imaginative screen-prints to bring this tale to life. Perfect for a dreamy bedtime story, and I believe the original prints are still available to buy.</span></div>

Bridging the gap between trendy North Sreet and Bedminster High Street, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AtlasCafeBristol" target="_blank">Cafe Atlas</a> is supporting local artists with space to display and sell their work.

What an amazing knitted, crocheted and needle-felted underwater scene in the <a href="http://www.thepapervillage.co.uk/" target="_blank">Paper Village</a> shop window. This stopped me in my tracks as I wandered along North Street this morning! Paper village, an artist led shop, organised this great community project, giving away free patterns in return for homemade fish, sea creatures, weed, sea anemones, urchins and coral. The display will be up for the <a href="http://www.sbaweb.co.uk/" target="_blank">Southbank Arts trail</a> this weekend.</div>

A great addition to Bedmo street art - a giant horse made-up of local landmarks from Bedminster and Bristol. Artist, <a href="http://www.andycouncil.co.uk/" target="_blank">Andy Council</a>, chose a horse to represent the working past of mines and industry in the area. His work will be on show at <a href="http://www.upfest.co.uk/" target="_blank">Upfest</a> urban art fest (25 - 27 May).<br />
