ART EXHIBITON AT 639

The last time I went to an art exhibition was at the Oxo Tower about 1yr ago. So it was a pleasure to be invited by Cezanne to an art exhibition organised by Rising Generations which was incorporated into the opening (10^th – 22nd May) of the 639 Enterprise Centre, Tottenham, N15. This is an image of the building (year n/k) which was up until recently used as the Haringey planning offices and customer service centre.

The building has been restored and transformed into a variety of spaces that has offices, youth organisations, conference rooms, boardroom and a cafe on the ground floor. The exhibition called Rising Generations – Art of Tottenham was an innovative series of exhibitions celebrating and promoting the inspiring arts being produced in the local area that took place between.

This is one of my favourite paintings by self taught Ghanaian artist Edward Ofosu who wanted to be an artist from age 11. He embraces his creative talent and shares with others. His work is versatile and he likes to experiment with various mediums and forms of artwork. He bases is art on realism but likes exploring with an abstract style. In 2009 he was runner up of the Artist of the Year Award and recently has been given a scholarship to study at the Hampstead School of Art. Teaching ipad painting.

‘Where is I – we all seems to be carrying this I but is it many I’s or one I acting as many and where is it located, is it inside the mind or outside of us, is it a thought or an idea to identify with’.

It was a very nice day being surrounded by artistic talent.
