Nunnery Café Exhibition | ‘STOP PANICKING!’ by Studio 10
Thursday 7th September 2023 – Thursday 18th January 2024 , 10:00am to 4:00pm
For the twelfth edition of our Nunnery Café exhibition series, we’re bringing a splash of colour to the Café walls with a group show by London-based illustration and animation collective, Studio 10.
A coming together of artists and animators Emily Downe, Martha Halliday, Gabriella Marsh, and Kathrin Steinbacher, Studio 10 found its genesis within the walls of the studio which all four artists share together.
Although wide-ranging in subject matter and composition, the thread that weaves these artists together is a commitment to the documentation of the beauty and abundance in the everyday, encouraging viewers to remember not to panic if things seem – at first glance – to turn grey.
Laced with nostalgia and a tender softness, in this collection of artworks, Studio 10 want to draw attention to the vibrance and serendipity that is all around us, and so easy to overlook when we’re caught up in the midst of it all.
So, STOP PANICKING… and take a look.
The opening night for this exhibition will be happening from 6-9pm on Thursday 7 September.
