Circus of Life: Six Artists Explore the Human Experience
D. A. Orli / Paula Reid / Corina Rothwell / Maximillion Speed / Dick D. Spice / Angela Walsh
Surface is pleased to announce Circus of Life, an exhibition featuring six Nottingham-based artists and a collection of work that explores the intricacies of human experiences.
Circus of Life presents a range of interpretations and reflections showcased through contrasting and distinctive styles: figurative paintings, line drawings and bold dioramas encounter the brash pop-art prints of Dick D. Spice. Experience the futuristic urban landscapes of Paula Reid, or step into the surreal world of D.A. Orli and the exhibits from his Ersatz Museum. Maximillion's transient collage delves into the unconscious and the realm of dreams, offering new ways of seeing, and further extending the scope of our visual experience. Circus of Life brings together an eclectic collection of artwork, and a myriad response to the human story.

There will be further opportunities to meet the artists each Saturday throughout the exhibition, including artist talks on the 12th October, 2pm. Further details to be announced.
Circus of Life opens with a downtown funky DJ set by Nottingham songwriter/producer Rudi. The opening extravaganza will also feature an assortment of circus performers brought to us by the incomparable I’m Not From London. As always, there will be a donation bar with ales from local brewery, Pheasantry.
This is a great opportunity to purchase high quality, affordable, contemporary art. From statement pieces to original prints for any business or home, helping support the independent Nottingham art scene.
