ARRTI GALLERY IS OPEN…

Well this is exciting! In the last few months the ‘A River Runs Through it’ collective, artists, Rose Long, Susan Bunn, Michael Wallner, LoveJordan and Ella Freire have been working hard on an ambitious new adventure. And we can now announce ARRTI GALLERY - our first ever gallery space, is open in Southside, Wandsworth SW18. We are showing a vibrant mix of paintings, screen prints, digital art, light installations, and sculpture from locally based artists as well as my luxurious products available online at Long Studio Design. There really will be something for everyone. We think art should be colourful, thought-provokning and accessible.

Art is for everyone. Pop in - we’re pretty friendly bunch.
And from June 25th - July 11th join us for ‘A Celebration of Colour’, a very special exhibition bursting with colour, hope and optimism. We are proud to be part of the Wandsworth Arts Fringe, a wonderful arts festival featuring more than 130 events across the borough.
ARRTI GALLERY would like to thank Southside Wandsworth, Land Sec, Savills and Rainbow Rising for making all this happen. See you in the gallery.

Saturdays 12 noon to 6pm

Rose Long is an artist and architect. She practiced as an architect since the early 1980's for over 35 years. She has increasingly concentrated on painting and design.
She paints in oils and acrylic. She was brought up in South Africa and has lived in London in the UK since the mid 1980's.

Rose paints in collaboration with two partners – Water and Gravity.

The elements of chance and complex variability, that these introduce, allow her work to become an interplay of intention and the often unexpected result of the laws of physics.

Using this technique, she explores the character and emotion behind the façade of her subjects, be they human or otherwise.

These subjects sit in an energetic atmosphere comprising of light and shadow in space. Her chosen palette is often limited, using the varied tones in one hue. Combinations of complementary colours to achieve greys are added and then washed away. The Golden Mean and the Fibonacci integer sequence, ratios that are very pleasing to the eye, are frequently used in the composition, canvas size and placement of subject matter. Patterns emerge in the work and marks are made with varying intensity, revealing an aspect of the mood and a version of the underlying reality of the situation.

The progression in her work is evolutionary, not radical. Each piece informs the next in technique and expression. The pieces are becoming more allegorical.

Using the medium of paint feels as compulsive and empowering for Rose now as learning to read was for her as a child.
