Wednesday 19th July saw the official opening of the Eyestorm Summer Show 2007. The show included the very first unveiling of sculpture piece, Anticipating Mars by Richard Trupp in the Eyestorm gallery. Richard spent days setting up his sculpture piece and painted the floor black. Two sculptures were also erected in the Eyestorm garden entitled Fixing Blocks, of which many visitors to the show sat on and around discussing the nights artists and events.

At six o’clock many people arrived and the gallery was bustling until half past eight. The staff spent the evening handing out glasses of wine and chatting to the artists, their friends and clients. David Jones and Kate Allen’s paintings were among the most popular of the original work, whilst Andy Taylor Smith, Lucie Bennett, Chris kettle and a Damien Hirst print, were popular discussions throughout the night. A good time was had by all and many sales were made during the night.

Eyestorm is currently featuring work by many artist’s in its Summer Show 2007, including Kate Allen, Richard Trupp, David Jones, Andy Taylor Smith, Marcelle Hanselaar and Jeffrey James, who were all at the opening to unveil their work. Some of the work is new and exclusively published by Eyestorm and the show will end around mid August.
