Deepa Chudasama

Friday, July 24th, 2009

Deepa Chudasama has been a friend of Hide All for a long time, so it’s been fantastic to watch her develop into the accomplished artist she is… so we had to take advantage of our blog and write about her!

Conceptual themes such as science as well as Deepa’s Indian heritage  run through her work. A reference to human and plant cell formation is incorporated with the use intricate ‘dots’ amongst the bright ink prints, allowing the pieces of work to grow as organically as the cells they are based on.

The final outcome are these incredibly beautiful pieces that are full of life and energy.

Deepa currently has an art installation at the Greenwich Picture House for the Bombay Mix Summer Festival which celebrates 60 years of Indian independence. This is a great opportunity to see how Deepa’s art and her bindi drawing can affect different spaces and environments.

With all the talk of recession and greedy MP’s, we need something to lighten the load. Anne Taintor is a brand we stock that is brilliant for gifts or just to cheer yourself up. It’s very vintage with a contemporary twist. The humour is truly wicked and it’s quirkiness really will make anyone smile.

Glastonbury 2009

Yes, Hide All went to Glastonbury, and yes, it was incredible. As always, the atmosphere was magical, with music that combines generations. Friendly Fires and Dizzy Rascal lit up the day performances while Blur truly were a Glastonbury defining moment. Long live Glastonbury
