Exhibition at Dulwich Picture Gallery, 9 September 2008 to 18 January 2009
Our latest exhibition is an exciting collaboration with Dulwich Picture Gallery. The exhibition is based on a Victorian parlour game that asks you to describe yourself with images of your favourite things. 45 people in the public eye have been invited to create a self-revealing artwork, illustrating their 8 favourite things from a list of 12: their favourite animal, book, item of clothing, comfort, food, pastime, place, possession, music, shoes, weather and pet aversion (the thing they love to hate!) The result is a delightfully idiosyncratic exhibition.
To give you the chance to have fun guessing who did what, the artists’ names will not appear on the artworks in the gallery. But there will be a crib sheet on hand, should you need some help… We will also be revealing some of the images on our website as the exhibition progresses.
To show us what you are like, enter our ‘What Are You Like?’ competition. The judges include two of the best-loved illustrators working today - Quentin Blake and Emma Chichester Clark - and the winning entry will be hung alongside the others in the gallery!
