The Outsiders Gallery/ Trevor: Observations from a Local Artist

The Outsider’s Gallery presents paintings and sketches by Trevor, a local artist who regularly stops by on his wanderings around Stoke Newington. His practice draws on his observations and experiences in the local community. The pieces on display, not only offer an insight into his artistic process but also a glimpse of life in East London.

In accordance with the artist’s wishes descriptions of the works are brief with no dates or materials listed. Trevor’s intention is for the display to speak for itself.

In the Window: The Garden present AAAA.

This months window we have AAAA is a short film created by secondary school pupils with autism at The Garden. This work expresses itself in its order & disorder and the young people’s aesthetics interests.

The pupils have had fun developing their imaginative skills being involved with highly technical projects such as film making and the self-expression of simple mark-making on paper. The film has been inspired by the public sculpture in Shoreditch Park ‘Hitchcock Reel’ made by John Edward in 1996.

This exhibition values all children’s creativity and we are hoping to raise awareness of Autism within the community so it can be recognised and supported Anywhere, Anytime.
