Christian from Barefoot wines raised his eyebrows in surprise after making his third trip downstairs to bring more bottles up, hustling through the crowds. We expected quite a few people to turn up but even I was left a little bewildered by the shear number of people that came and the shear amount of wine that was drunk.
120 bottles and over 220 cups later the official launch of Mooch art and revolve gallery was deemed a success. A big gallery means more art, more food, more wine, more everything. Scale it all up in a great location and suddenly I can see the artists getting giddy with excitement. With all that space and all those people I just didn't get round to speaking to everyone and maybe there were people who wanted to buy but just didn't know where I was so vowed to come back another time.
One of my 1st previews I spent with a red ring around my lips and grey teeth. I looked in the mirror that night and cursed the red wine and the fact that no one pointed out the fact I looked like a right numpty. Smooth Mike, very smooth.
I went for an eclectic mix of art, which is difficult to pull off and can often translate into being jack of all trades, master of none. This isn’t the case with the artwork hung in the new gallery In the Triangle though.
The best, most accomplished artists covering abstract, figurative, photography and landscapes were hung with a clear aim to have appeal to a broad range of tastes.
The event is now over and we have had some good coverage in the press but I guess its now onto the day to day gallery business. Until the next event that is.
