Bradbury & Blachard Gallery Sheffield – ‘Rumble in the Jumble’ – April 30th

 

As part of our Sheffield Trip we visited an exhibition called Rumble in the Jumble by Bradbury and Blanchard. The exhibition consisted of works by Kid Acne and included a jumble sale of tshirts, flyers, records, fanzines and prints.

B&B is an independant screen print studio programme founded by curators and artists Bradbury and Blanchard. It is located within Sheffield’s Cultural Industries Quarter, promoting the work of emerging and established contemporary artists through periodic exhibitions, fanzines and off-shoot projects around the world.

The gallery was very interesting as the prints were colourful and abstract, but at the same time they were quite comical. As well as the exhibition the artworks were on sale through magazines and vinyls for something unique to collect. I liked the use of harsh black line drawing on coloured backgrounds,  giving the art a bold, edgy feel that is outstanding and memorable.
