LEGACY SHOW (STELE BY GUS FARNES)
Taking part in KCAW PUBLIC ART TRAIL Legacy Show as a smaller version of ‘Stele’. The original was created with the use of latest 3D printing technology, is a figurative sculpture of inspired by 3D scans of standing stones from ancient sites and shown as part of 2024 edition. This year you can see Part on of smaller works and 2-d pieces by some Public Art Trail artists shown at the Exhibitionist Hotel.
The artist, using 3D modelling software, composed the sculpture by manipulating each scan, scaling them and moving into position to replicate an stone figure of 244cm in height rendered with jesmonite and sand, reminiscent of the ‘Stone Henge’.
“Whilst creating the piece I was thinking about how the activities of the ancestors have influenced the way we live today and journeys of the people and the stones they quarried.”
Gus Farnes is a British artist working within a contemplative domain, fomented by human activity and the social milieu.
Led by interests in history, the natural world and identity Farnes sculpts using materials sampled from his local situation – remnants from a landscape, prehistoric monuments, organic matter and found objects are collaged using digital and analogue processes giving rise to figurative forms.
Gus Farnes has shown work publicly participating in solo and group shows nationally, most notably with Sotheby’s, OHSH Central and Thompson’s Gallery in London. Farnes’ sculptures have been acquired for private collections throughout Europe, Asia, Australia and the United States.

JUMBIE JUBILATION BY ZAK OVE
British-Trinidadian artist Zak Ové will be unveiling his first artwork in glass mosaic in the heart of Notting Hill Gate. Inspired by the traditions, mythology, flair and freedom of carnival and masquerade Jumbie Jubilation will celebrate the rich heritage of the area and Ové’s own heritage and connection to 50 years of carnival. The artwork was commissioned by Frogmore and will form the façade of new hotel, The Ruby Zoe.
Jumbie Jubilation will comprise eight floor-to ceiling glass mosaic panels which together create a rippling, vibrant carnival procession. Each panel designed and drawn from Ové’s artist practice, combining elements from his abstract works, where he uses crocheted doilies to create colour fields, and that of his sculptures, primarily those that take influence from the carnival in Trinidad. Both elements embody and use vibrant sound clashes of colour, movement and shape which are fused together to create a celebratory procession across the panels.
“I have imagined the mosaic panels akin to apertures through which to glimpse and experience another time and place,” says Ové, “a liminal space of mesmerising colour, rhythm, and dance. These panels become portals through which the viewer peers into hyperspace allowing them to enter, for a moment, the beating heart of Carnival itself.”
Opens on 21 June 2023
