the opening

Zoo Arts has been exploring the themes of portraiture, the face and masks over the last eight weeks (writes Kirsty Reynolds).

We’ve manipulated, embellished and transformed our faces in our weekly sessions, using them as a base for self expression and character creation. This exhibition is a showcase of some of our experiments involving the face and how we have played with altering it using drawing, collage, costume and photography.

Artists involved in the project are:

Patrick Harvey             Filip Glanowski             Jenny Souter

Aidan Wrubel               Antek Krzos                  Lauren Davis

Caedon Bentino          Amber Walker              Graham Wark

Kitty Yang                     Claire Graham             Sally Price

Jakey Yang                  Anne Chen                   Kirsty Reynolds

Zoo Arts is a weekly art group that welcomes anyone between age 9 -14 on Wednesdays from 4pm-5.30pm at North Edinburgh Arts. Join us!

The exhibition runs until Saturday 23rd April
