The other month, the majorly talented Stephen Ives had a show with a whole bunch of cool custom toys, aptly named “TOY” at No Vacancy – amongst the show, were several other two dimensional pieces, that fascinated us. So, upon seeing news this morning that Stephen has been working on a drawing orientated exhibition, 36 Views Of My Latte, we thought it was pretty cool!
“Since TOY, I have been sitting in a local cafe warming myself and drawing, a pleasant way to spend winter. Here is the end result, 36 Views of my Latte, a loose whimsical show exploring all my varied themes and styles, pencil, ink, wash, collage … all works are unframed paper (so cheap), plus there will be super high quality limited edition prints (even cheaper) for those of you who miss out on the originals.”
We interviewed Stephen just before TOY, and loved getting a heap more detail on his work – and his drawings are just as charismatically cool as his sculptural work, so this is yet another great reason to get down and check out No Vacancy next week.
