Pop-Up NY

1 July – 14 August 2010
Preview 22 July 6-8pm

Pop-Up NY has been EXTENDED to run alongside British show “We Love New York?”

Spontaneous and exciting, Pop-Up New York is a handful of the city’s young and emerging artists originally gathered to spring up next to Broadway Gallery’s London show Underground on BROADWAY.

Working in a range of mediums this group show is an array of visual reaction, with artists responding to their surrounding influences and situations. Reflective of New York, the show ran alongside Underground on BROADWAY to provide an energy filled visual dialogue with the London works. Now extended, Pop-Up NY will run alongside Broadway Gallery’s next British show We Love New York? to provide a similar cultural contrast. The original works will remain but we asked all our New York artists to recommend a friend or colleague to show next to them, in an intriguing and expansive extension of this show.

Come to the opening for an evening of talking and meeting new people, with both our young New York artists and the British team from “We Love New York?” in attendance.

Lily Ponds

Agneta Livijn “Lily Ponds”

A solo show.

October 16th-31st

Opening October 16th 1-4pm

Born in Sweden in 1955, Agneta Livijn spent her youth in Sweden and in France. She received her education at the Beckmans School of Design in Stockholm, at L’Academie de la Grande Chaumiere in Paris and later at the San Francisco Art Institute in USA.

Art has always been a great interest of Agneta’s, and she has always been fascinated by the life and work of famous artist like Monet and Matisse. The years spent in France certainly had a great impact in defining her career as an artist and designer. In addition to possessing great creativity and talent, Agneta has found inspiration during her travels over the world.

In 2006, Agneta discovered the beauty of the water-lily flower and green leaves in Jardin Marjoirelle, Yves Saint Laurent’s garden in Marrakech, and the painted Lily Ponds lines then became a signature of her art.

Fighting to prove herself as an artist, Agneta recognized the difficulty of “making ends meet.” She thus decided to combine her artistic side with her design talent to create a ceramic line. Agneta sold her first caffe latte cups from her summer house in the south of Sweden, before her work was discovered by companies such as IKEA, Habitat and R.O.O.M, for which she then created exclusive lines.

While raising her three children and fulfilling her primary role as a mother, Agneta has establish herself as an artist and a business woman. In 1995 Agneta Livijn AB was launched and soon after, both her ceramic line and art could be found at selected retailers and private collections in Europes, Japan and USA.

Agneta is now an internationally recognized artist and ceramic designer. The Broadway gallery in NYC is scheduled to display her extraordinary work “Lily Ponds” with a prestigious solo show exhibition the 16 -31 October 2010.
