Art Mine
Subway Gallery, London
An exhibition by Seymour Art, the Homeless Art Collective. This fresh collection of work represents the energy, beauty and playful spirit invested by a group of committed artists. Nine members of Seymour Art present work in a variety of media ranging from oil paint to digital montage.
After the phenomenal success of their debut show, Seymour Art is proud to have been invited
to present new work and new artists down in the depths of the Subway Gallery.
This fresh collection of work represents the energy, beauty and playful spirit invested by a group of
committed artists. 9 members of Seymour Art present work in a variety of media ranging from oil paint to
digital montage. The variety and depth of talent on show reflects the extraordinary life experiences gained
by each artist.
The title, ART MINE provides a context for this work, one that evokes notions of value, precious material
and of course being underground. The relevance of the subject of Mining is found in the way it connects
the site of the art’s production to the site of its display. Created in the basement of a homeless day centre,
this work has travelled less than a mile to the underground space of Subway Gallery.
Seymour Art sets itself apart in its structure as a homeless collective whose members make decisions
together. It aims to build on its member’s skills in the display, distribution and promotion of art and not
simply its creation.
Seymour Art was formed at the West London Day Centre and its members meet there weekly at a course
run by the City of Westminster College.
