A few shots from the recent exhibition of pain[and other]tings by Lupen Crook and The Mrs at the Nucleus Gallery in Chatham, which opened on Friday 21st August and ran until Friday 28th:

The Nucleus Gallery’s trippy ambience (particularly the shiny floor and mixed light levels) pushed my meagre photographic skills to their limit, but hopefully this gives you a flavour of how the exhibition looked.

It certainly made an impact on visitors.  On the couple of days that I was there, everyone who entered the gallery passed comment, favourably or otherwise.  “Marvellous” was one; “base, ugly surrealism” another.

I’m not trying to depict every single exhibit in this Flickr set.  Plenty of Mr Crook’s paintings are visible via this website’s archives.  The Mrs has a MySpace profile for now and will have a website shortly.

The slideshow above is just a taster.  You can see larger versions of the pictures, either as a full-screen slideshow or on a shot-by-shot basis, by going to the set page on Flickr (choose “Slideshow” or “Detail”).
