Mike Philbin - Introversions & Dichotomies - First Art Sale of the Year
Posted on the 01 October 2017 by Freeplanet @CUST0D1ANIt was my first exhibition of works in this recent abstract style, chosen to exhibit in this year's Oxford Arts Society Exhibition. As the show finishes today, I was planning to go pick up the painting(s) from the gallery this evening.
Earlier today, I recieved a phone call from Lucy Stopford telling me I don't need to go collect. The buyer wanted to know 'how much space' should there be between each painting. I said NONE, let them kiss - like the image of the two canvases, above.
A cheque's on its way, and surely this bodes well for my forthcoming December-January show at Blackwell's bookshop cafespace here in Oxford through Xmas 2017 where there will be a lot more of these kinds of things to choose from.
