Soma Gallery, Bristol
  Pencil'in    
       
 

Pencil'in is the second exhibition from recently opened Soma Gallery in Clifton Arcade. The exhibition features work from Will Ainley, Karin Akesson, Adam Bridgland, Lucy Gough & David Waters. The artists in Pencil'in all use the medium of drawing in very innovative and different ways.

Will Ainley is an illustrator based in Brighton. He has had illustrations featured in Dazed and Confused and Creative Review. He uses pens to draw his amusing illustrations.

Swedish born Karin Akesson studied at the RCA and lives in London. She is showing a series of beautifully printed wrapping papers. The work transfers the symbolism from flowers to the wrapping papers to convey a message.

Adam Bridgland's work is inspired by the aesthetic of the colouring book. He is showing a selection of screenprints. Adam uses colour in his work to achieve a striking effect with the simple imagery

Lucy Gough works in Mixed media and is showing screenprints on wallpaper alongside hand printed greetings cards.

Bristol based David Waters, a recent Illustration graduate from Bath Spa starts with a drawing and adds colour using the computer. His beautifully drawn inanimate objects such as ticket stubs are transformed into attractive artworks.
