Exhibition review on spoonfed

Having already garnered rave reviews from culture aficionado Michael C Lewin of Notion and everyone's favorite illustrator Quentin Blake, it was only a matter of time before Katherine Hardy hit London with a solo show. And where better than Tenderpixel?

Just as the gallery sits amongst a raft of second-hand bookshops and peculiar bric-a-brac shops, so Hardy's work is strongly influenced by classic novels like Of Mice and Men and Gatsby.

Hardy's works are lightly playful and almost childlike in their simplicity. But beneath the whimsy lies a sense of something darkly sinister: both melancholy and ennui lurk a waitin'.

Thank you for you kind comment, it really cheered me. However as for lack of posting, I think you somehow missed the 200 or so posts that followed that particular one.
Thanks once again.
