Veronica Rowlands : Exhibition at the Free Space Gallery (Kentish Town) – 2nd Feb to 3rd April 2015
Last year I featured the work of the talented local Illustrative artist Veronica Rowlands, her series of pictures entitled London Fashion Dolls and Surreal Doll Collection takes familiar and nostalgic dolls and transforms into something more surreal and fantastic .
Over the next few weeks, Veronica will be holding an exhibition that will feature her fashion dolls but also her more recent ‘Interactive Wallpaper’ which has been created with members of the public across the city. To produce this piece of work, Veronica has taken her hand drawn characters to venues across London and asked for help from people of all ages to colour them in , adding their unique hand writing to a piece of community artwork to raise awareness and funds for Beating Bowel Cancer and Breast Cancer Care.
The wonderful and eclectic results will be shown in this exhibition alongside a solo exhibition of recent artworks with a percentage of all sales being split between the charities.
The launch of the exhibition will start with a Vintage themed Tea Party – with the opportunity to view & purchase affordable mini Artworks & greeting cards 3.30 – 5pm on Friday 6th February followed by the evening Private view at 6.30-9pm, the exhibition will continue until 3rd April 2015.
The Exhibition will be at Free Space Gallery,
Kentish Town Health Centre
First Floor

The Fashion Dolls – Veronica Rowlands, Artist and Illustrator
Space Doll
I have recently come across the work of local Artist and Fashion Illustrator Veronica Rowlands.
Veronica has always been fascinated by vintage dolls and toys and developed her artistic skill as a child by sketching exhibits in Museums and Galleries.
She still looks for inspiration visiting museums such as the Museum of Childhood and Pollock’s Toy Museum. Using this inspiration she has recently developed her Fashion Dolls which blends the old and the new in an original and imaginative way. Her acclaimed London Fashion Dolls series uses London landmarks as a background for the Dolls who are often adorned by objects taken out of their familiar setting.

Her latest collection the Surreal Doll Collection take things a stage further when the familiar and nostalgic becomes more surreal and fantastic .
Veronica has exhibited her works in many galleries in East London and has recently been selected to exhibit at the prestigious Contemporary Debut Exhibition in Notting Hill.
