bocs

Wow, we’ve finally launched, and the christmas bocs nadolig private view went well, if a little bit hectic at the last moment….

We had a really strong show with work by some really interesting artists, all chosen by members of bocs.

Exhibiting Artists

• Alexis Snell, chosen by Charlie Yorke
• Catherine Howell, chosen by James Toms
• Dyfrig Peris, chosen by Iestyn Owen
• Elgan Jones, chosen by Huw Erddyn
• Mick Brown, chosen by Gethin Wavell Lloyd Jones
• Naomi Lethbridge, chosen by Siân Green
• Paul Johnson, chosen by Yvonne Tsang
• Poked Studio, chosen by Sally Kwong
• Robert Pepperell, chosen by Meirion Alan Ginsberg
• Rosie Seymore, chosen by Sevan Garo Nigogosian
• Simeon Coxe, chosen by Rhys Lloyd Jones
• Stephen John Owen, chosen by Dafydd Hardy

We even had a couple of pieces produced by bocs members and of course, we also had our bocs boxes. This is the Super Secret Souvenir I mentioned earlier, over 100 miniature bocs boxes that have been customised by one of our members, our Christmas gift for you to take away.

Bedwyr Williams was kind enough to open the exhibition for us with an inspiring speech, whilst Ioan Thomas launched our bocs co-operative with a pop of the champagne cork.
