Artist Pete Codling
In SPACE at Eldon Building, University of Portsmouth.
The SPACE gallery will be host to the international artist Pete Codling who will be creating a giant charcoal drawing directly on the gallery wall. The building, which will be demolished this November along with this final artwork, was actually Codling’s old studio space when he was a student at Portsmouth College of Art in the late 1980s.
This ‘charcoal epitaph’ is a personal way for the artist to say good bye to the building but also to celebrate the creativity of many artists, designers and musicians who have used this space over the last fifty years.
Codling, who has been travelling in Europe for last two months in search of inspiration, returns to his home town to start on the artwork on the 16th June. He will be working in the SPACE gallery on Winston Churchill Avenue until November where people can see him at work through the window or pop in to meet the artist in person.
