'COOL CUTS'<br />
Heart of The Tribe presents ‘Cool<br />
Cuts’, an exhibition featuring the<br />
work of linocut artist Shelley Dyer-<br />
Gibbins opening <strong>Oct</strong>ober 21st...<br />
With a clear talent from a very young<br />
age, Shelley knew she would be an<br />
artist ever since she was a young girl.<br />
She went on to study graphic design at<br />
college and university. Her degree led<br />
her to designing for many well-known<br />
companies, including Usborne children’s<br />
book publishers. Her experience as a<br />
graphic designer is apparent throughout<br />
her pieces, which are graphic and retrotoned,<br />
using block linocut as well as overpainting, underpainting,<br />
collage and gold/silver leaf. Her use of vibrant colour and<br />
celebration of all things vintage is heavily inspired by PopArt, in<br />
particular the great Andy Warhol.<br />
Practising as a full-time artist from around 2017, Shelley has<br />
been busy making a name for herself in the artworld. Winning<br />
awards such as the National Open Art Print Prize 2017, Shelley’s<br />
work has been displayed at Bankside London, Pallant House<br />
Gallery and the Bargehouse in OXO Tower Wharf. She has had<br />
the pleasure of exhibiting alongside some very famous names,<br />
including Banksy, Peter Blake and Roy Litchenstein, all of whom<br />
are a source of inspiration for Shelley.<br />
Shelley stumbled across linocut as a medium when looking<br />
through her late Father’s workshop. Also an artist and<br />
experienced gilder, he had an array of different tools that Shelley<br />
could experiment with. This is where her love of linocut was<br />
born. Shelley has always been deeply inspired by her Father<br />
who always encouraged Shelley to pursue a career in art. Using<br />
at least one of her Dad’s tools in every piece she creates, this<br />
process allows Shelley’s work to feel all the more personal.<br />
The exhibition will run from <strong>Oct</strong>ober 21st to <strong>Nov</strong>ember 15th and<br />
will not be one to miss. Shelley is fast becoming a household<br />
name in the print world and Heart of The Tribe are honoured to be<br />
able to exhibit a beautifully curated selection of Shelley’s works<br />
both old and new.<br />
