Ashes To Ashes, Paint To Brush
Our very first artist in residence, David Shillinglaw, has finally come and gone and left an indelible mark upon Studio HeadSpace.
The volcanic ash cloud that plagued European skies towards the end of April actually worked in our favor, as we got the pleasure of David’s company for one extra week, extending his stay from April 5th to the 28th.
We took David around some of the prime sight seeing spots in Osaka, Kyoto and Nara, not to mention the drunken karaoke sessions and the numerous nights kicking back and getting to know the locals at MR.Q.
As per usual, David was a constant ball of energy and produced some fine works during his time here. David also headlined our groundbreaking event, HeadSpace, on April 17th to much acclaim and spent a weekend in Tokyo with a visit to Design Festa Gallery, where he painted a mural outside their premises. You can read more about our Tokyo adventure here.
Many people visited the Studio HeadSpace to see his exhibition, as well as stopped by throughout his stay to see him at work. It was an utter pleasure and privilege to have not only such a talented artist, but a fine human being as our first artist in residence. We look forward to having him back.
