PETE BENNETT and JEANNINE GUIDI

8 Apr-8 May 2011

Overview

Pete Bennett, from Blackpool, currently living in Hackney, London, and Jeannine Guidi from Zurich, currently living in New York, have both created significant bodies of work over several decades, but have rarely shown that work through the normal channels of exhibition and commerce. Both artists have a healthy suspicion of the art world’s dogmas and cliques, combined with a fierce sense of the sanctity of their own chosen creative paths. Pete and Jeannine are trained artists who paint because it is deeply engrained in their nature to do so, both as pure forms of ritual expression and open communication.
