BOING-BOING!

Kurt Perschke's 'Red Ball Project' has landed in London just in time for the 2012 Olympics; late last week wedging itself well and truly into place outside the iconic Embankment Galleries at Somerset House- site of Nelly Duff's recent 'ZOO' exhibition at the 'Pick Me Up' Graphic Art fair.

All are invited to participate in New York based Perschke's installations, in the simple act of wondering where and when these playfully appealing red balls will appear, as observers of a 'collective imagination.'

Fernando Casasempere's 'Out of Sync, Daffodils' may have just left the courtyard of Somerset House, but we still have some truly stunning memories of the 'Pick Me Up' show- check out this video, featuring an interview with our very own Cassius Colman..

Thankyou kindly :)

So Nelly's ZOO at 'Pick Me Up' has closed its doors! Mad amounts of Nelly love and a thousand thankyous to all the amazing artists involved, as well as the dedicated team at Somerset House for helping to make the show such a success- we had a ball! x

'You Are Here.'

If you are in any doubt, Sarah Boris' artwork will make sure you know where you are at Nelly's ZOO at 'Pick Me Up' Somerset House..

A Day at the ZOO..

Check out Aida's 'Flamingorama' and Tracy Kendall's handprinted 'Evolution' wallpaper at Nelly's ZOO 'Pick Me Up' Somerset House, until April 1st!

Nelly's crew have been working hard in preparation for the ZOO to run a graphic riot  at Somerset House!

Listen Up!

Nelly Duff will be exhibiting Chris Bourke's traditionally crafted, hand-coloured lino-cuts at 'Pick Me Up' Art Fair, Somerset House from the 22nd of March!

'Open Walls', Baltimore.

'Open Walls' Baltimore is a public project set up by street artist, Gaia. The initiative aims to enliven the streets of the artist's hometown, blighted by a remarkably high concentration of dis-used and derelict housing.

The event's roster boasts some of the finest known artists of the street art world, including Nelly Duff's own Momo, Swoon, and of course Gaia.
Public artworks will be continually created until May 25th when a final day celebration will be held to mark the achievement. Man, we wish we could be there!

If all this action is just a tad too far across the Atlantic, how about something abit closer to home? We are thrilled to say, Gaia will also be contributing some original pencil drawings, to be displayed at Nelly's latest exhibition at 'Pick Me Up' Artfair, Somerset House- 22nd March to the 1st of April! 

Sweet originals..

We were recently thrilled to introduce some original Sweetoof oil paintings into the gallery. Featuring the artist's infamous 'ruff neck' rouges, these pieces act as a play on monarchic portraiture and succeed in updating traditional techniques & subjects with more modern materials & motifs- this time with the aid of a pair of signature pink gums, and glittered teeth.. or should I say 'toofs'?!

But if that isn't enough to quench your insatiable thirst for original artworks, come on down to the 'Pick Me Up' Art Fair at Somerset House, where we will have another set of oiled & original feral fangs on display, among other sweet treats, from the 22nd of March to the 1st of April!  

Pick Me Up!

Nelly Duff is proud to present a Pop- up Zoo, a graphic Zoo that is- to be unleashed at London’s 'Pick Me Up' Art fair! Prepare yourself for an animalistic array of uniquely developed printed, original & sculptural artworks, from the best artists of the Tattoo, Street Art and Illustration world.

A selection of pieces will be available for sale at the event from members of the wild and wonderful Nelly Duff roster, and live demonstrations will run throughout..

Keep an eagle eye out- more info to follow!

Not to be sniffed at!

Nelly never fails to be impressed by the technically brilliant creations of Gaia, whose latest artwork has hopped, skipped and jumped right into the Nelly Duff window! This youthful talent seems to find notoriety wherever he goes and ‘White Rabbit’ is yet another skilfully rendered, hand burnished lino-cut from the zaniest spark of North American street art.

We are excited to say, Gaia will be contributing some original artwork to Nelly Duff's next exhibition, at a certain central London graphic arts fair at the end of March- more details coming soon, so be sure to keep your noses to the ground..
