This November, Space 145 is presenting William Simson's latest art exhibition 'How to be a Human-Being'.This brand new collection of paintings and prints are largely composed of self-portraits by William Simson, as the artist defines the self-portrait as part of one's story."The act of expressing an emotion through the pictorial medium is in itself an engagement only expressed by humans" Simson explains. As a result, Simson draws or paints a self-portrait (i.e a selfie) most days to connect with the self. To recognise place, Simson paints a landscape. Simson notes "For the beholder (viewer), this may be reversed? ... An act of the human-being." [BREAK]The showcase features unique artworks, some of which are raw and real, while others are more abstract. It's an engaging selection of works inspired by our current age of 'selfie obsessions' and asks the viewer to define what it is to be human. The exhibition opens on 8th November from 5.30pm. Simson will be in attendance and will be happy to meet with event-goers. RSVP by calling 0404334314.The exhibition will then run daily from 10am to 6pm until 22nd November.All displayed works will be available for sale.For more information on the artist or exhibition, please visit williamsimson.com and www.facebook.com/wsartist
