A long standing favourite at Barnabas is the London based artist Alex Arnell. He returns to the walls of the gallery on Tuesday 12th March with a body of new work called ‘HUMAN CONDITIONED’ and explores portraiture in a rather unconventional way!
Alex is well known for his street art around the area of Brick Lane in London sometimes creating pieces of sculpture from found disused objects.
There will be a piece of such sculpture to be viewed at the private view on Sunday 17th March from 2-4pm. This is a chance to meet with the artist and enjoy Barnabas hospitality.
Look forward to seeing you all!
The exhibition runs from Tues 12 March until the end of May. All works are for sale.
Don’t miss your chance of purchasing an original piece of artwork.

Meditation practice isn’t about trying to throw ourselves away and become something better, it’s about befriending who we are.

Meditation is known to reduce stress & anxiety, improve memory & sleep and increase confidence & self-awareness. If all this was offered in a pill- would you take it? Well, there’s no pill involved – all that’s required is a chair or a cushion and YOU…
