‘This is exactly what Penny Lane needs,’ was the loudest
quote given from amongst the heavyweight throng who came to celebrate
both the opening of the brand new Penny Lane Gallery and the first major
art exhibition of guitarist, Dj and artist Will Sergeant. Whilst the gallery
offers humble square footage and a warm welcome, Sergeant’s My
Own Worst Enemy offers a potentially candid insight into an emotive
Bunnyman’s identity. His screen prints You
Lucky People and Postcards from Cairo
(right) encompass a unique father/son bond whereby Sergeant utilises wartime
photos of his dad in an Andy Warhol POPism way. Further pieces such as
Dream On and The Chaos
and The Calamity stand out for their striking colour, whilst prints
like - & + and Moths
are pretty much showcasing true artistic skill. Attention to detail slipped
only slightly as to presentation here and there but on the whole this
was a lively and cross-genre delivered arrangement.
Gallery owner Christine Colvin was in buoyant mood as the till drawer
continually opened to receive recompense for Sergeant’s wares and
indeed Colvin’s love of both music and art sees her gallery in full
cognitive activity for the whole of winter and well into Spring 2012 with
The Specials’ bassist Horace Panter in line to reveal his collection,
Robots, Saints and (Extra) Ordinary People.
My Own Worst Enemy runs until February 2012
