MEET ME IN THE GARDEN | RENDEZ-VOUS DANS LE JARDIN
A collaborative exhibition with two of the most exciting young contemporary artists working in the UK: David Shillinglaw and Lily Mixe
Based in Margate and known for their distinctive street art and murals, David and Lily exhibit regularly in galleries worldwide. This show is a chance to see works produced individually as well as pieces created collaboratively, especially for the exhibition.
This exhibition is a dance between two artists, a hybrid of styles and personalities. Sharing a home and studio, tools and techniques, this show gathers together separate and collaborative pieces made over the last few years. The works correspond and contradict each other, sharing themes and ideas. Meet Me in the Garden is an opportunity for these two artists to create a middle ground, an organic place for things to grow.
From window boxes to hothouses, humans love to explore and tend a garden and always have done. A garden demands your love and attention. Nurturing it is a labour of love and at times a battle. Planet Earth is a garden and we are somewhere between the gardeners and the insects.
Meet Me in the Garden invites visitors to immerse themselves in this unique environment, the fruit of the combined imaginations of these two outstanding contemporary artists.
