Currently in residence at Newcastle’s Unit 44 gallery space, Remi/Rough and Stormie Mills are putting together the work for their collaborative exhibition entitled Selected Moments. The pairing have worked alongside each other on numerous occasions, and the very different styles that each artist brings compliment each others work perfectly. Collaborations can often sound like a good idea at the planning stage, but it is rare to see the actual execution of the work, well – work. Stormie’s figurative work occupies Remi’s abstract landscapes in an emotive blend of colour and mono.
Alongside the collaborative canvases the duo are preparing, expect a large scale mural in the Hoults Yard area which houses the gallery space – joining existing murals from artists such as John Burgerman, Roa, Kid Acne, SheOne and Insa in a permanent outdoor gallery.
The exhibition opens on Thursday 26th May. A couple more preview images of the work in progress courtesy of photographer David Bilborough after the jump.
