George Harding Solo Show at PRSC Selling Gallery
PRSC invites you to the opening of OBJECT; an exhibition of George Harding’s paintings that explore his interest in the humanizing of objects.
His practice explores painting through different approaches, one of which is paintings of collaged imagery. George collects objects that he photographs. He then collages the photographs with other imagery. Otherworldly environments are created for the object that are then painted as a whole. The paintings explore our human and emotional relationships to objects.
George is a fine artist based in Bristol and graduate from University of the Arts London, Chelsea. His work has attracted the attention of galleries and collectors in both London and Bristol. He recently had his first solo show with The Bethlem Gallery, Beckenham, Kent within the oldest psychiatric hospital in the world.
There will be limited edition mugs to accompany the exhibition as well as limited edition prints of George’s work that you can buy at the gallery or on-line on the PRSC website.
The exhibition ‘Object’ is the first of a series of exhibitions that will take place at PRSC Selling Gallery showcasing local artists.

because the protestersdidn’t have any insurance,
they were therefore liable for ALL the costs….
The only one who didn’t seem to find this amusing was Cllr Stevenson -
most of the others found it hilarious... “

THE NO TESCO CAMPAIGN IN PICTURES
Shortly after it was announced that Tesco had bought the lease on the former Jesters Comedy Club and gained planning permission incognito, community activists squatted the building. Our Police found themselves in the invidious position of facilitating the actions of Tesco Bailiffs, against the will of local people.
Surveys were done. 2500 protests were delivered to our Council,
importuning them to recognise that a Tesco branch in Stokes Croft was wholly inappropriate.
Marching and protest took place. Campaigners worked within the clearly flawed planning system to stop the supermarket’s encroachment into Stokes Croft.
Artists painted. The Council failed to listen to the People.
Riots took place.
In the usual messy way that riots manifest themselves, damage was caused.
Despite a year of continual and sustained protest, our elected representatives failed the many people who sought to safeguard the uniquely independent area that is Stokes Croft.
The No Tesco Campaign took Bristol City Council to Judicial Review after their failure to back the Community.
We lost the case, and nearly £2500 costs were awarded against the No Tesco campaign.
This is how the news was received in the Council Chamber:
“On prompting from Cllr Kent – the officer in charge stated that,
because the protestersdidn’t have any insurance,
they were therefore liable for ALL the costs….
The only one who didn’t seem to find this amusing was Cllr Stevenson -
most of the others found it hilarious… “
