CREATEVOICE - JIMMY TURRELL & KATE GIBB WORKSHOP AT THE V&A
by jimmy turrell on Thursday, 1 November 2012
Myself and silkscreen artist Kate Gibb have been lucky enough to be invited to run a series of workshops down at the V&A in collaboration with the CreateVoice project. CreateVoice is basically the youth collective of the V&A.
The idea was to develop a workshop with young creatives that they could then present to visitors on the 2nd of November (tomorrow night!)
Myself and Kate have already worked one full day with the young people and here's selection of the work that we created. Basically we switched between silkscreen printing, hand collage and Riso printing. This work will be displayed in the V&A entrance lobby over the weekend.
If anybody wants to come down and get involved tomorrow night its from 6pm - 9pm in the Sackler Centre within the V&A. Hope to see you there - should be fun!.
Heres a few portraits I've just completed for Wallpaper magazine for their contributors page. I went for a stripped back approach here - I limited the colour palette and added simple geometric halftones over the tops of the watercolours. The people featured here are Jason Evans, Pedro Cabrita Reis, Henry Bourne and Charles Negre.
Heres my cover for todays Guardian Guide feature on The Bourne Legacy. The guys over at the Guardian wanted something quite stark and moody for this piece so I went for a simple watercolour portrait of the movies star Jeremy Renner coming of darkness. Also here is the original sketch I based the illustration around.
Its that time again tomorrow and Sunday are both are both Great Western Studios Summer Open Days. Now in its 18th year, the renowned Open Studios weekend presents a thriving community of established and emerging artists and creatives from all disciplines including architecture, drawing, digital media, fashion, jewellery, music, painting, photography, sculpture and much more.
Primitive Heritage (A collective made up of myself, Two Times Elliot and Mash Creative) will be selling originals, screenprints, risoprints and mixed media collages. Heres an example of a few. I'll also be selling some of my one off drawings and paintings. Hopefully see you down there - 12pm - 6pm, both days, admission free.
The pieces here are all available to buy here - Primitive Heritage

Heres the cover I've just produced for the K&S remix album "Mixed Feelings" Its basically a hybrid of the original album design and a few earlier designs I did for them - so I suppose its a remix in itself. The album features Sebastian, Romanthony, Farley and Heller, Max Sedgley, Lee Fields, Analog People In A Digital World, Sander Kleinenberg, Ursula Rucker, Smoove and Turrell and Solomun.
Advertising agency Bartle Bogle Hegarty contacted me to work on a poster and ad campaign for the Guardian's sponsorship of Gustav Dudamel concerts at The South Bank Centre.
Dudamel is a Venezuelan conductor and violinist. He is featured in the amazing 2011 documentary "Let The Children Play," a film which focuses on his work advocating music as a way to enrich children's lives. His incredible performances in which the audiences truly interact with the orchestra have to be seen to be believed. Check out his version of Leonard Bernstein's Mambo here.
Heres a few examples of a poster I did for Channel 4's Paralympics coverage along with the guys over at INTWorks (Its Nice That's creative division) They wanted it as colourful and poppy as possible and as I had to fit all these athelete's into one image it was quite a feat to pull off. The third one down is the one that made the cut.
