John O'Carroll exhibition 'Elemental'

Pickle Design, the design studio where I work in Cornwall, has been running now for about 9 years, crazy! One of earliest clients we worked with was John O'Carroll. This artist is the real deal and we are always so excited to work with him. John initially approached us to create a book cataloguing his beautiful artworks. He divides his time between Cornwall, Egypt and Holland and is inspired by the natural environment surrounding him, as well as having a deep curiosity about the history and the stories embedded in the landscape.

His processes always intrigue me, mixing pigments from the earth and creating large dramatic and abstract piece of layered wax. His makes installations leave me pondering and sculptures with such depth of colour I am left wondering how on earth it was achieved.

We are currently designing John's new website, which will be awesome! Really his work speaks for itself so the design I have done is very minimal with gorgeous large images.  

If you are in the North Cornwall area you can see John's work first hand as he is resident at Circle Contemporary gallery at the Hawksfield development on the Atlantic Highway. On the 5th of December from 12pm to 6pm is the opening of the new exhibition 'Elemental'. This collection of works will be displayed until the 15th of February 2016 and is definitely worth the visit.

John is such an exciting artist with real integrity I am always excited to see what he does next. Watch this space for the new website.
