After four days of hard work by the University of Kent’s Estates department, the installation of John Blackburn’s paintings in Studio 3 Gallery and throughout the Jarman Building is now complete. We have also taken delivery of the beautiful catalogue produced by Footprint Innovations, and kindly funded by Osborne Samuel, our partners in putting on this exhibition.
Also, Kent student Olivia Martin has finished editing her short film in which John Blackburn speaks in his studio about the creative process and the new series of “black paintings” which are at the heart of the Studio 3 Gallery exhibition. You can watch the film by following this link:
