Twelve Days / Twelve Artworks / Twelve Words
'Tis the season to be jolly, and also a time to check out some great artwork. Black Asterisk is breaking out some favourites - old, new and upcoming - to cheer about. As it is just twelve days until Christmas, below is a selection of twelve artists either represented or showing with us. To get further into the festive swing of things, we've pulled twelve words together to describe their work. Work from these artists and others will be on show here from Tuesday December 17 until our official closing on Saturday December 21, with viewing by appointment for the remaining days of December. The gallery will then be officially closed until Thursday January 23, open by appointment throughout this time. Merry Xmas, Happy New Year, and see you here!
