'TIL NEXT TIME..!

Well, Custard Factory Open Studios concluded successfully last weekend. We had a great time and due to the strong turnout, we are already talking about throwing our doors open sometime before Christmas 2018. 

Thanks to everyone who came!

Below, #422 Headquarters: Our Meeting Room served as the main hub and refreshment area for people visiting our 4th floor studios. Many cold beers were handed out on what has been one of the hottest weekends of a long, hot summer.

Watch this space!

ALEXI K - ABSTRACT ARTIST

''developing naturally towards abstraction''

Above: Woman Disrobing, Pen & Ink, 2013

After college, I started out doing figurative and illustrative art, and even got signed to a big agency, but I eventually realised that the kind of art that I wanted to explore had little to do with commercial considerations.

Influenced by movements such as Cubism ( Picasso and Braque ), Bauhaus and the Dutch Avant-Garde ( Kandinsky and Mondrian ), I developed naturally towards abstraction. 

I share my studio with fellow painter Zarina Keyani, and we often use our wall space to exhibit work by friends from our art collective The Cobalt Blue.

Alexi has exhibited in Japan, Greece and the UK, and have clients in various parts of the USA.

STEPHEN EARL ROGERS - FIGURATIVE ARTIST

''a vivid sense of character and atmosphere''

Stephen Earl Rogers is an artist with work held in collections across the world. He is a highly sought-after portrait painter whose clients include international art collectors, public institutions, private individuals and families.

Working mainly in oils, he creates striking contemporary portraits through a highly collaborative process.  His work brings together a deep understanding of the traditions of portraiture with a very broad range of cultural references. Stephen's clients are drawn to a vivid sense of character and atmosphere and the clarity of colour and light present in all of his paintings.

Over the last decade Stephen has also created several collections of work that sit outside the parameters of portrait painting. His latest collection, the ‘Stirchley Twitcher’, brings together images of birds in their natural habitat with a rich and varied range of representations from different cultural contexts, including tapestries, ceramics and historical artefacts. These are vividly coloured and detailed works that employ a broad range of painting techniques.
