We are very pleased to announce artist, designer and Surface View collaborator Michael Angove's first solo exhibition of brand new trompe l'oeil drawings at the newly refurbished Hollywood Road Gallery, Chelsea.

' Michael Angove's work is a welcome example of the neglected art of fine drawing. His trompe l'oeil is at once cerebral and austere but invokes a nostalgic notion of a forgotten memory; and his pencil drawings of familiar objects in a narrative composition are treated with such a delicate touch as to become hauntingly beautiful and utterly desirable. ' 
- Clare Johnston, Royal College of Art.

The collection includes beautifully intricate drawings of keys, feathers, spoons, string and thread, quail's eggs, marbles, dried roses and in a few cases 24ct gold. This new collection focuses more on the narrative as well as exquisite drawing technique; A quail's egg might be a planet, a feather might be considered a shield while a spoon could be a character. In their own right they are fine drawings that are hauntingly provocative.

All drawings will be available to buy. We'll see you there!

Where: Hollywood Road Gallery, London, SW10 9HY. 
When: 13th September - 22nd September, 2012.
