Jessica Arrowsmith Stanley Exhibition at Beyond Retro Dalston
For their "Halloween Fright Night" event I painted live in store after priming and spraying the base colour in their storage warehouse first I then began to paint the detail and text as part of the event's entertainment. Alongside the event I exhibited around 20 smaller framed drawings in the Beyond Retro Cafe in Dalston throughout November and December.
Big thanks to everyone that made it and the staff at Beyond Retro for all their help making it possible.
The live B movie horror inspired piece has caused a spin off series of work inspired by B-movie posters from 40s fusing film culture from today in a hand painted style rather than digitally manufactured posters.

Liverpool Born, London based artist Jessica Arrowsmith ‐Stanley recently graduated fromUniversity of Westminster in Mixed Media Fine Art. Whilst at university Jessica began to experiment and incorporate elements of street art and graphics into her traditional fine art training. Jessica’s work rapidly grew off the canvas onto walls and floors, creating labour intensive constructions to replicate the sensation of being bombarded with information and advertising.
Having completed her formal education, Jessica’s ambitions are to; ‘keep creating and bring light and life to blank spaces wherever and whenever she can’, and we are very proud to say we are the first to show these amazing pieces.
Thursday 24th October 6pm-9pm, Beyond Retro Dalston: 92-100 Stoke Newington Road."
