The first show of 2015 at Brighton's No Walls Gallery is Masquerades and Silhouettes, the first solo show by renowned Bristol based artist Mr Penfold, focusing solely on the abstract side of his work.
Over the years, Penfold has gradually stripped back his work, focusing on the contrast between colour, texture and line work. Drawing inspiration from classic abstraction and minimalism, Masquerades and Silhouettes explores his love for iconic pop culture and clean crisp graphic painting.
Originally from Cambridge, Mr Penfold currently lives in Bristol. After leaving school he started working in a professional collaborative printmaking studio, making work for and with a number of internationally renowned artists and has developed a distinctive way of working and a range of imagery that is as striking as it is unmistakable.
Operating outside the traditional gallery system, No Walls Gallery represent some of the most exciting and innovative young artists, designers and illustrators working today. 2014 saw them host solo shows with Hattie Stewart, Lucy Sparrow, Ben Frost, Megamunden, Supermundane, Hayden Kays, Billy, Supermundane and Lynnie Zulu.
Their Brighton gallery, a beautiful 19th century former chapel in the heart of Brighton’s cultural quarter, can be found at 114 Church Street, directly opposite Brighton Dome.
Opening night Friday 30th January 6-9pm;
Opening times: Tuesday to Saturday 12-6; Sunday 12-4
