It's World Art Day a day to promote creativity worldwide  International Association of Art (IAA/AIAP), a partner of UNESCO, exists to protect artist’s rights and establish a worldwide solidarity among the artists of the World. I'm sharing The Meeting Point to celebrate all the amazing artists I've met around the world so far, who have inspired me to keep creating. #oldaker #people #society #community @artcanorg @IAAUSA @UNESCO #WorldArtDay#WorldArtDay #UNESCO #Culture #LeonardoDaVinci #InternationalArtDay #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #artistssupportintartists #worldpeace #freedomofexpression #tolerance #artcanorg #artcanartist  (at Winsley) https://www.instagram.com/lesley_oldaker/p/BwR4kUlhvan/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=172wxpmn4dlkv

Next Wednesday it’s the ArtCan @artcanorg postcard fundraiser event, ‘From ArtCan With Love’. Myself and other member artists have all created postcard sized artworks which will be sold online for £40 each. All the funds raised will go to support ArtCan’s great work. If you’d like the chance to buy an artwork, register via Eventbrite (see @artcanorg bio) and join the event on Wednesday evening. It’s fastest fingers first and they usually go pretty fast so be ready! 😃 Swipe to see my two postcard paintings, ‘City Life 1’ and ‘City Life 2’, both oil and gold acrylic on canvas board, 4x5in. #LesleyOldakerArt #Oldaker #PeoplePaintings #ArtCanOrg #UrbanLandscapes #AbstractFigures #AbstractFigurative #PostcardArtworks #ArtFundraiser #UrbanSetting #FacelessFigures #Emotive #NewArtworks #ContemporaryPainters #BritishArtist #BritishFemaleArtist (at Online) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce5WQeCIcP3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Subjugation. noun the action of bringing someone or something under domination or control. In this case that someone or something is often my own domination of myself by internal voices or ‘parts.’ Leaves are for the most part an expression of myself. I feel the process of a leaf in decay can express human fragility or emotion better than say, contrived human poses. #artcanorg #michaelhoppengallery #hintology #london_independent_photography #conceptualartist #conceptualphotography #artphotography #leaf #creativephotography #creativity #photocrowd #pic #picsart #pics #fubarcollective #photo #photoart #photos #photography #photographersgallery #image #imageart #images #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthphotography #expressionism #expressionistart #unsung_tiny_heroes #jj_texture (at Journey to The Soul) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSL8U--oyFK/?utm_medium=tumblr

Absolutely delighted that Nowhere to Go is in this amazing exhibition. CasildART has partnered with Kroll, a division of Duff and Phelps (the global governance, transparency and risk consultancy) and ArtCan to explore how Covid-19 and new technologies will change the face of the global art industry in the 21st Century. The event includes a two-part webinar series and a virtual gallery event. Register to attend the webinar here. Kroll is hosting the webinar series on the global art market which will be presented by Gareth Fletcher of Sotheby’s Institute of Art and featuring experts from Hauser & Wirth, HMRC, Demif Gallery and The Society of London Art Dealers. The virtual gallery event is called the #shapeofthenew and has been curated by Sukai Eccleston of CasildART. It features the work from a diverse range of artists, across painting, photography and video. Faced with a pandemic, climate change, social injustice and fractured economies, what certainties can be relied on to shape ‘the new’ for ourselves and our world? 28 artists from across the globe respond to this question and express their ideas and impressions of the current moment. The exhibition is a stunning showcase of contemporary art, featuring work from established and emerging artists, including Oluwole Omofemi (Nigeria) Tiffanie Delune (UK/Belgian Congo) and Diana Rosa (Cuba/Canada). The #shapeofthenew is light and dark; bold and confronting . Playful and dynamic too. Colour on canvas. Collaging new identities. Video deconstructing and reconstructing old narratives. The exhibition is hosted in a stunning virtual gallery, which as you tour its futuristic passageways, your attention is drawn to the unknown that awaits; at once dystopic and its polar opposite - an opening onto radical change, renewal, rebirth. The exhibition opens to the public on 12 March with a live session with mixed media artist Tiffanie Delune in conversation with Financial Times journalist, Emma Jacobs discussing the possibility of reinvention through art. You won’t want to miss it! @shapeofthenew_exhibition @artcanorg @africanartfinder #shapeofthenew #exhibition #painting #lesleyoldaker #artcanorg #refugees #nowheretogo (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CL6v3dBHEWI/?igshid=sx61kh2g2kjf

G U E S S. W H A T ? So I thought I would have a bit of fun this morning and try to capture me holding one of my paintings. I had to do a little squat (good for the legs I guess) to get in the frame….my phones ‘selfie’ camera is broken so it’s total guess work! Haha! This painting has been hiding away waiting for an exhibition that has been postponed 3 times now wahhhh. It will be heading off to the framers next week ready to be (hopefully) exhibited in April. It’s actually for a very exciting exhibition at D Contemporary Gallery in Mayfair, London with ArtCan, the fabulous artist group I am a member of. @artcanorg are so fantastic in supporting their artists, please do pop over to their Instagram to find out more about what they do and to check out some of their other artists! I can’t tell you how excited I am about the prospect of a physical exhibition (fingers crossed) but it will also be going ahead virtually too…you know, just incase! Want to have a guess at what this piece is called?
