People in Liverpool

We are very pleased to have works by Stephanie de Leng for our next exhibition in the incubator with many portraits of the people of Liverpool, showing a variety of ages, backgrounds and professions.

Her work captures an essence of the people and her writing gives more background information to the shot and the moment it was taken, highlighting why she chose the subject, many are people who have played a part in her life, others are people of significance to Liverpool as a whole.

There will be many faces to recognise and others that although you may not know the individual in the portrait, you may recognise people from your own lives who have a similar outlook on life.

Happy Christmas from all the team at 2Bio Ltd

We are proud to support local artist Freida McKitrick by chosing her work for our Christmas card this year.

Farewell to the Pendlebury's

A Place Worth Living came down today and packed up to go back to Nathan and Anthony who are exhibiting in various local art fairs and shows in the next few weeks but thought I'd add some final images of their work before we move on to the wonderful artwork from Prenton High School tomorrow in the Revolution in Evolution exhibition.

Revolution in Evolution

Revolution in Evolution
Prenton High School for Girls

Exhibition runs from 19th of November until 13th of January 2010 in the incubator, MerseyBio.

An exhibition of scientific art, to celebrate the 200th Anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin.

A collaboration of work by the students of Prenton High, Park High, Rock Ferry High and Upton Hall, funded through the Rolls Royce Science Prize.

Working with fine artist Philip Garrett, students experienced an approach that linked both science and art, and has its roots in the teachings of Italian renaissance masters such as Leonardo Da Vinci.

The exhibition is the resulting art work, produced by the students after several days of scientific study on the topic of Natural Selection.

A Place Worth Living by Anthony and Nathan Pendlebury coming soon

Our next exhibition will be A Place Worth Living
by Father and Son
Anthony and Nathan Pendlebury
From the 9th of October until the 18th of November

Nathan studied Fine Art at Warrington Collegiate Institute and Liverpool John Moores University. He grew up in the North-West of England in Chester, Salford, Manchester, and Warrington. Nathan now lives and has a studio space in Bootle (near to Liverpool City Centre, UK), he has won acclaim for both his painting and photography being selected to show in the 2007 International Chelsea Fine Art Competition in New York, as well as being a Prizewinner for the 2007 and 2008 National Wirral Open Exhibitions, and was shortlisted for a prize in the 2007 Sefton Open. Nathan currently also has paintings on show at the Liverpool John Lewis Espresso Bar. He had this to say about his art: "My painting, drawing and photography looks toward the presence of man within an urban and suburban environment, without necessarily being direct in figurative terms."

Anthony Pendlebury studied art in the 60's at Bolton Art School, near to where he grew up in Salford/Manchester. Since then he has worked in and around the North West in various non-art related positions. He is now retired and based in Cumbria, The Lake District. Tony had this to say about his art:"I am primarily concerned with producing original paintings on canvas and paper. My paintings look toward the human condition taking influences from the likes of Pasmore, Miro, Picasso, and Corazon. I don't like to stand still with my painting and am always striving toward new things to do and experiment with in my image making. I hope that my paintings offer texture, mood, and a sense of aesthetic through graphic mark making. I try to make my ever growing portfolio diverse, and the work I produce can vary from one piece to the next."
