His new series explores inner-city life, with the vibrant form and colours reflecting the chaos, hustle and harmony of the South London streets where he grew up. </p><p style="text-align: left;">“With my portraits, I try to capture everyday people grabbing a moment’s pause from their hectic lives” said Atila “as well as celebrating figures who inspire me such as the late artist Virgil Abloh, and the musicians Mc Skibadee, Ty, David Bowie, Nina Simone and the heroic workers of the NHS”. </p><p style="text-align: left;">This collection of work succeeds in merging the high energy of painting on the streets with the more harmonious approach of the studio. </p><p style="text-align: left;">“My visual language referencing not only artist graffiti on London’s streets” Atila went on to explain “But also from my time spent in Amsterdam, Spain and South America and other artists such as Mode 2, Nash, Belin, Connor Harrington and Toulouse Lautrec to graphic novels and comic books”. </p><p style="text-align: left;">The key to his work as the fusion of differences, and how the magic is found in the convergence. We love the scale of Atila’s work and were delighted to receive an invitation for his upcoming exhibition and encourage you to go and view the work yourselves locally at the Jeannie Avent Gallery from 6th until 20th July at 14 Northcross Road, SE22 9EU and Atila can be followed on Instagram<a href="https://www.instagram.com/atila_8t4/?hl=en" target="_blank"> atila_8t4</a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><br /><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317262057718963050.post-11913663676997897852022-06-26T12:33:00.002-07:002022-06-29T01:18:07.743-07:00South London Therapy Group is back in business and getting rave reviews...<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHRR1VEoK8yTYKFB8xu8nu9I_u6GbDB26Yh4yBnRWoHcT7O-kmhlQHkA31xXEhvTLi_z2Ya_dD4ZgLX3mNHo4BNBRyu2tg9Y5QV9VEbX5xxXzjdeT46NolEe-VHv-kpNN_sqD9xGwkUfbj78n26SQD-Dg_OBnpq_9YXp6fQzyA9EnNFYvrJ6i1nLx63g/s762/SlouthLondonTherapyGroup.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="587" data-original-width="762" height="493" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHRR1VEoK8yTYKFB8xu8nu9I_u6GbDB26Yh4yBnRWoHcT7O-kmhlQHkA31xXEhvTLi_z2Ya_dD4ZgLX3mNHo4BNBRyu2tg9Y5QV9VEbX5xxXzjdeT46NolEe-VHv-kpNN_sqD9xGwkUfbj78n26SQD-Dg_OBnpq_9YXp6fQzyA9EnNFYvrJ6i1nLx63g/w640-h493/SlouthLondonTherapyGroup.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>A</b></span>fter closing temporally in Sydenham because of Covid 19.

Originally in East Dulwich on North Cross Road and in Sydenham, SLTG accommodated more then 30 therapists, counsellors and trainees who rented space during the day and evenings, ad-hoc or on a regular weekly basis managing their own bookings online, cutting out the middleman with their interference, rules and overhead to enable SLTG to charge only £10 per hour to their members and add great value by providing comfortable rooms to enable their members to truly practice independently. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal;
