Foundation Year Show at UCA Canterbury

Saturday, May 31st, 2014

31 May 2014

My son Maxim McKay-Jones has completed his Fine Art Foundation Year at UCA Canterbury. The private view for this excellent show and all the graduation shows at UCA Canterbury was on Friday evening, featuring Fine Art, Design, Architecture and Media. The exhibition is open until 13th June and if you’re in the area I would urge to visit and see the exceptional talent displayed at the University for the Creative Arts Canterbury.

Here’s some of my son’s work concerned with geometric forms taking inspiration from his love of Maths

Max, (right) will continue on to the BA Fine Art at UCA Canterbury in September.

The Supper Room: Hakeem Onibudo at Greenwich Dance

The charismatic Hakeem Onibudo invited me to join him and his vibrant dance company Impact Dance, at The Supper Room, Greenwich Dance, to capture the evening through Live Drawings of the event, I was to draw a large sketch that the guests to The Supper Room would be invited to interact with by adding their thoughts and comments to.

Supper Room 11
A small selection from the many drawings I made during the evening

It was a wonderful evening of Hakeem’s visually arresting choreography from the fabulous Impact Dance, delicious Caribbean food (from Island Flavours) and music you want to dance to

Some of the drawings will be at the next Art Show that I am taking part in:

Creating the Interactive Wall for Divercity

Thursday, April 3rd, 2014

On Saturday I joined the young people in the classes at Greenwich Dance Saturday classes where they worked towards the City-Scape to be part of Divercity

The work made at Trinity Laban and Greenwich Dance was mounted together to make a large City-Scape Interactive Wall for the visitors to add to on the night.

Luggage tags with comments about our City were tied to a lit up wire figure made by Maxim McKay-Jones

The wire figure ‘selfies’ were added to the Wall
