The Tease Made Exhibition by Peskimo and Chris Dickason
March 19th - April 11th 2010 START (next to Start the Bus) 1st floor 7-9 Baldwin Street, Bristol
Opening Night Extravaganza Friday 19th March 2010 6pm-9pm
To coincide with the exciting opening of the new Start space (next door to Start the Bus), the Tease Made exhibition will bring together the talents of Chris Dickason and Peskimo for a unique show. Peskimo’s world is teeming with monsters and bunnies, pattern and texture, fun and frolics, combining quirky details and streamlined design with a generous pinch of nostalgia to create art that has won admirers far and wide. The art of Peskimo is complimented by Chris Dickason’s charming and much loved visually striking design. Chris’ illustrations are populated with rambunctious and irreverent characters, the design of which is a cleverly crafted mix of an uncomplicated drawing style and conspicuous colour choices.
The Tease Made exhibition will celebrate the social rituals, history, iconography and biscuit dunking goodness of enjoying a cup of tea. Expect prints, paintings and doodles as well as the occasional three-dimensional surprise. The artwork will draw influence from the mid century aesthetic and vintage graphic design, cartoons and comics and the oddities and absurdities of everyday life.
