The Chapman Brothers may have thrust the term Shock Art into the popular consciousness but it is under the less familiar banner FrockArt that seven female art graduates will be exhibiting in the 2008 Art Trail, following their success at Viva, Lewes in 2007.
As studio based working artists they exhibit extensively as a group and individually. In this Uckfield Art Trail exhibition at the Wealden Skills Centre there will be an opportunity for interactive participation as well as a chance to view new art pieces.
Art22 is a group of Sussex-based contemporary artists who take an experimental and expressive approach to their work. The group was set up in 2002 by artists who had previously been students at South Downs College.
Having worked together for many years a unique understanding has built up of each others character, work habits and artistic development. The group provides a forum for each member, now working on their own, to give each other feedback, encouragement and stimulation.
In 2004 the group held its first group exhibition called “Time to Stand and Stare” at the Greenstede Gallery, Chequer Mead in East Grinstead. That was followed in 2006 by “Natural Forms” at The Crypt in Seaford and then in 2007 by “Fusion” at the Thebes Gallery in Lewes. In March 2008 the group took part in a very successful “Open House” during the Eastbourne Festival.
