Up On The Roof

Bold Tendencies III exhibition has taken over the rooftop of Peckham’s multi-storey car park, this is the third installment in a series of art exhibitions curated by the Hannah Barry Gallery. The exhibition consists of workings from 16 fresh-faced, up and coming artists.

There are some quite amazing sculptures on display. One favourite of mine is the quite humorous “Failed Obelisk”, by James Balmforth – a broken-in-two obelisk, with the top part broken off and stuck on top of a giant spring. Another, a sculpture by Molly Smyth, entitled “Motion Towards Collapse” – concrete steps that lead up to a large window, from which you can see another large concrete window, laid out on the floor below. The strong architectural shape of Molly’s sculpture works really well against the lush panoramic view of the London cityscape, which can be seen from the top of the car park.

Franks Café also shares the space with the art exhibition, which is perfect for a bite to eat whilst watching the summer sun setting across London.

The exhibition is open from Thursday to Sunday 11am till 10pm and runs until September 30th, catch it while the weather is nice!
