LONDON ART ROUNDUP FEATURES STUDIO WEST'S EXHIBITION, 'GARDENING ON BORROWED TIME'.
"A series of earthly coloured works, many with bold organic shapes, have emerged from a pilgrimage that five artists made to Derek Jarman’s garden, a surprisingly colourful oasis in the midst of a barren and inhospitable area of Romney Marsh in Dungeness, Kent. Jarman was an artist, avant-garde filmmaker, set designer, author, gay rights activist… and keen gardener. The home he built was where he spent the last years of his life (he passed away in 1994 of an AIDS-related illness) and it now hosts residencies for artists, academics, writers, film-makers and gardeners. Drop in and be sure to hear the whole story of how each of these artists were influenced by their experience."
