Hang-up: the Collections

By admin1

August 03, 2014

Hang-Up Gallery is delighted to introduce the launch of a new series of exhibitions entitled Hang-Up Collections. Expect to see key works from leading international urban and contemporary artists alongside super-fresh releases and exciting rare finds from the Hang-Up artist roster.

Adopting a slightly unconventional approach to the traditional exhibition format, new work will be added and removed throughout the exhibition duration allowing it to evolve and change over the weeks. Whether it’s straight from the artist’s studio, a unique and rare piece from Banksy or from the gallery’s own private collection, Hang-Up Collections will promise to bring you something new, different and exciting each time you visit.

The first show, Hang-Up Collections: Volume 1, will exhibit previously unseen work from rising talent such as Mark Powell, Lauren Baker, Joe Webb, Russell Marshall, Magnus Gjoen, Mason Storm and The Connor Brothers, as well as rare pieces and one-offs from artists including Banksy, Shepard Fairey, Futura, Herakut, Eddie Peake, Jake and Dinos Chapman, Jeff Koons, Mau Mau and Sir Peter Blake.

Hang-Up’s gallery artists will prove a highlight of the show, many creating new works specifically for the collection including print, photography, sculpture and painting. This includes a brand new print release from collage artist Joe Webb exclusively through Hang-Up, an original oil by Mason Storm and an original embellished skull from Lauren Baker. The show will also include unseen works from Radiohead artist Stanley Donwood, a limited diamond dust edition from Dave White, and will introduce the exciting works of London based artist A.CE, a key figure in the UK Street Art scene for over ten years.

•Hang-Up is a contemporary art gallery in Stoke Newington which shows work from young artists at the early stages of their careers alongside established names from the art world.
