CONTEMPORARY: Bless-ed 

*PLEASE SEE EVENTS PAGE FOR DETAILS OF CURRENT SHOW AT THE BATH HOUSE GALLERY IN KINGS CROSS: SUPERIMPOSING THE THOUGHT OF HAPPINESS*

Artists Robi Walters & Leanne Wright met in 1991 and spent the ensuing years working as a team designing album covers for some of London's most talented and respected underground dance labels and music producers. In 2004, they moved back to Leanne's native Canada, to a beautiful rural setting on the shores of the Great Lakes. Inspired by their surroundings, their two children and their absolute need to create, their art began to flourish.

SHATTERED DREAM: THE VINYL RECKONING SERIES:
Selecting and smashing beloved pieces from their precious vinyl record collection they began their journey and transformation from designers to artists; breaking through what they refer to as their ‘illusory dream state’ and searching beyond.

The music industry has seen radical changes over the past years with the onslaught of technology and has resulted in vinyl records becoming so coveted by diehard junkies that a blasphemous “You can't do that!” is sounded whenever the artists speak of their obliteration of Public Enemy’s It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold us Back… Michael Jackson's Off the Wall … Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On … and other reggae, jazz and soul rarities.

KALEIDOCYCLE SERIES: In this series, Robi & Leanne collect discarded packaging and advertising materials and create beautiful collages based on one of the root forms of sacred geometry, which occurs when two circles overlap creating a petal shape. This petal is believed to represent the womb of the universe from which all form is born.

Of equal importance is the thousand-petalled lotus which in ancient Indian scriptures symbolises Divine Realisation. The beauty of the lotus as a symbol is that it grows up through the dark swampy mud towards the light, its stem ever-adjusting to the changing water levels.
