Omar Kashoura

Omar Kashoura studied at Leeds College of Art, the London College of Fashion and Central Saint Martin’s School of Art and Design.

In 2005 he was awarded the prize of Best International Menswear Designer at New York’s Gen Art Style Awards and began his working career at London based fashion house Preen where he remained for a period of 7 seasons as well as securing a consulting position at the fast developing label Unconditional for a period of 4 seasons. His own label Omar Kashoura has developed into an easily recognisable brand.

This display of photographs on the ground floor at Blenheim Walk demonstrates his unique talent.

Jude Lin

Until 20 November














I paint to tell a story. I paint and then I paint and then I paint some more

This installation by Jude Lin, a recent graduate from Leeds College of Art, is made up of six art pieces and aims to disrupt and deconstruct the expectations of what a painting is. The paintings in the exhibition don’t hang on the wall but stand on plinths.

You can peep inside some of these uncanny objects, though others will not allow it. Their surfaces are scuffed, punctured and scarred as if marked with visible evidence of time passed, memories held and history captured.

Accompanying each artwork is its individual title which further enriches the overall narrative of the work.

Marisol Cavia

Until 16 October - Blenheim Walk

Marisol Cavia was born in Spain, and has been living and working in London since 1973. She studied languages in Bilbao and later studied drawing and sculpture at the School of Liberal Arts in Surrey and ceramics at the University of Westminster.
She has exhibited widely in both museums and private galleries in the UK, Spain, Germany, Italy and the USA. Her work involves ceramics, installation, sculpture, photography, video and performance.

Until 2 October

ex is an annual show profiling a selection of artists at the beginning of their careers who have recently graduated. All the artists taking part completed their foundation course at Leeds College of Art and the exhibition highlights the quality and range of work being produced on some of Britain's leading fine art degrees. The exhibition celebrates relationships formed whilst studying on the foundation course and reconnects artists, now based in other cities, with each other, with Leeds and with the College.

Jake and Dinos Chapman

Until 11th October















My Giant Colouring Book

Jake and Dinos Chapman are two of Britain's most inventive and subversive artists. My Giant Colouring Book appears to be seething with grotesque imagery, yet on closer inspection the images are surprisingly innocuous and are rich in art-historical allusions, from medieval images of hell and damnation to Picasso, Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism.

My Giant Colouring Book is a touring exhibition developed by the Hayward Gallery and the Arts Council England.
