LE GUN ART SCHOOL AT TE RED GALLERY SATURDAY 22ND FEB WWW.LEGUNSHOP.COM

" I need only to brush shoulders with the artists of Le Gun to be imbued with the elixir of life, which is so vital that it makes my hair stand on end, metaphorically speaking of course, as i am bald." Andrzej Klimowski, Professor of Illustration, the Royal College of Art LE GUN work together on each drawing they make, creating idiosyncratic imagery which blends a punk, occult, pop and surrealist aesthetic. Established in 2004, LE GUN is a group consisting of five artist illustrators (Bill Bragg, Chris Bianchi, Neal Fox, Robert Rubbish, and Steph von Reiswitz) and two designers (Alex Wright and Matt Appleton) who met at London’s Royal College of Art. As well as being the producers of their cult self-titled magazine, the group are internationally recognised for their enigmatic installations, design projects and art shows. Most recently they built a shamanic ambulance pulled by urban foxes for the exhibition Memory Palace at the Victoria and Albert museum. The particular style they have developed, in which the sum is greater than the parts, is what makes LE GUN’s group aesthetic so distinctive. Their independent graphic art publication provides a common ground for both emerging and established artists, illustrators, writers and poets. Now for the first time Le Gun are opening the doors on their creative process...watch a lecture on the work of Le Gun and the theme of the session and then spend the day working with the artists on large scale collaborative drawings in an informal and fun atmosphere. In our first workshop RANDOM FACTOR we will be generating ideas using the cut up technique explored by the Dadaists, William Burroughs and David Bowie, using chance combinations of location, character, object and scenario. What you get: one to one tuition with professional artist/illustrators the opportunity to meet and collaborate with like minded people techniques and processes that can be brought into your own working practice in depth critique and feedback LE GUN ART SCHOOL One day workshops with the artists from Le Gun at Red Gallery.
