Hannah Humphreys
Hannah Humphreys is an artist based in the West Midlands she produces abstract paintings which are inspired by a personal automatic narrative, which becomes descriptive, yet allusive. This narrative is used as part of the process in making the work. It is not her aim to reveal her subconscious mind nor to direct meaning, but to transport the viewer imaginatively in to a unique visual world; escaping from reality, crossing the boundaries from the outer to inner world.

WINDMILL
Private View   14 April 2012, 6pm - 9pm

Exhibition runs from 12 - 21 April 2012, Thur - Sat, 12pm - 7pm.

A windmill gets its power from the wind on its wings. It uses this power to make energy for grounding grains or draining the land. As a toy, it pleases people by rotating.
We are the same, affected or inspired by the environment to produce artworks which move our viewers. The work of the four artists in W I N D M I L L is very different but we are all affected by our surroundings and we would like to see how we harmonize in the gallery space.

Welcome to Tokarska Gallery 
Turning ideas into reality requires a fair amount of courage, determination and resources but above all dedication. The idea of having a gallery space in Walthamstow was born in earlier 2007 and it took us over four years to get all of the prerequisites right.Tokarska Gallery opened in March 2011 providing an unparalleled podium for emerging and established artists to exhibit their works, hold artists talks as well as network and collaborate.
The gallery received warmest welcome and was embraced by the local art community, for which we are deeply grateful.

 

Lia Vio: Solely In My Head
Private View  2 February 2012, 7pm - 9pm

Exhibition runs from 2 –  25 February 2012, Thur - Sat, 12pm - 7pm.

Lia Vio's most anticipated "Mining the Silent Evidence" Series (2011) refuses to succumb to reality, it keeps alive the confusions of dream, desire, fact, and fiction. Moments dissolve into dreamlike patterns and colors of almost magical iridescence in photographic works that are currently exhibited in Tokarska Gallery London. The magnificent chromogenic color prints mounted on dibond and acrylic offer a subtle and expansive meditation on the human understanding of time & moment.
Critical review of Lia Vio "Solely In My Head" exhibition by Pen Dalton. Read more...

Emerging artists Melissa Burn, Jakub Ceglarz, Mette Tofte Philipsen,Polly Saunders and Subash Thebe show their latest works in the group show at Tokarska Gallery.

As human beings we are programmed to evolve like the inevitability of the changing of the seasons, to adapt, progress, learn and to make sense of the heavily-trodden transitionary path. In times of hardship and economic strain we often have to quicken the pace of change, or harness a resourcefulness to intercept time’s dogged pattern, simply ticking over to a compulsory destiny.
