Calendar of Events: April 2011
Information on Scents and Sensibility "Scents and Sensibility
Location: The Vaad Gallery, South Molton Lane, London W1 - Click for map 11 April 2011 to 12 April 2011 10am - 5.30pm... Tuesday - 10am - 2pm Free
A pop-up art exhibition showcasing the work of six blind and partially sighted artists will take place at the Vaad Gallery in London. Scents and Sensibility is a collection of artists' interpretations of Bergamot Noir, Berkeley Square Cosmetics latest fragrance.
Scents & Sensibility is a poignant and imaginative approach to what is commonly referred to as 'blind art.' Leading sight loss charity RNIB and fragrance manufacturer Berkeley Square Cosmetics utilise the strength of blind and partially sighted artists, to provide a unique insight into the individual responses to fragrance. As they enter, visitors will experience the aroma of Bergamot Noir before seeing how the artists, all with different sight conditions, have encapsulated the fragrance.
The pieces will be exhibited at a two day exhibition at the Vaad Gallery on South Molton Lane in Mayfair before being auctioned at a gala event on Tuesday 12 April to raise funds to help RNIB support blind and partially sighted people. Renowned sculptor Lynn Cox has created a wire sculpture of an elegant woman, whilst David Johnson will be installing a dramatic floor to ceiling installation, inspired by the citrus notes of the perfume and reflecting on the changes that occur over time. Giovanni Coppola, a photographer with tunnel vision, has created a series of photographs shot in an Italian garden, which will be accompanied by a soundtrack at the event. Water-colourist Ian Reynolds will be departing from his representational style to create an abstract artwork for the event and ceramicist Doreen Gibbon’s will be crafting a Venetian-style mask, taking inspiration from the Golden Era.
On the 12 April, celebrated painter Rachel Gadsden will be working live in the artwork to create a one-off piece on site, informed by the reactions of gallery guests and their descriptions of the Bergamot Noir fragrance. This exciting group of artists has been brought together by the RNIB and the exhibition will be curated by Claire Mander, Head of Contemporary at the Andipa Gallery.
