Let Grass Roots Grow is an exhibition organised by Ronan Bowes.The show features 17 artists who practice painting as a means to communicate and express the world and cultures we live in.
The concept for the exhibition stems from the expression 'Let Grass Roots Grow'... To give one a chance. To thrive in a new city or country, perhaps. To connect with humans on a human level. To grow as peers. To support as savage studio slaves.
Join us for the private view at Aside Bside Gallery, Hackney Downs, East London 7th of May at 6pm. Show ends on May 12th.
