I’ve been lucky to have a young artist called Poppy visit the studio in recent months - helping her to create a special body of work for a unique event at Christie’s Gallery, London.
Thanks to @makeawishuk and @artofwishes for their help in making this possible.
—————
Poppy’s very own exhibition will be open to the public between the 19th-23rd May at Christie's and she is delighted to invite you to look at her art.
Now post-treatment, the run-up to her wish to have her own art exhibition has helped her confidence flourish, aiding her as she begins to process her time spent in hospital undergoing treatment.
Selfless Poppy decided that for her wish she would like it to impact everyone—“she’s caring and always thinks of others, so she wanted to make something she could share with other people that they could enjoy.” Poppy looks up to the art of David Hockney, Jean Michel Basquiat, Henri Matisse, Yayoi Kusama, Jackson Pollock, and Banksy.
Over the last few months she has been experimenting with a few new styles and techniques with experienced artists Chantal Joffe, Ben Lowe and Hannah Shergold, expanding an already impressive collection of work.
Christie’s, 8 King Street, London SW1Y 6QT
