SUMMARY:From Xian\, China to Upfront\, Penrith!
DESCRIPTION:Original Chinese Paintings by  Milly (Mrs Shang Chaofeng)\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nThis exhibition of Milly’s work has been brought to us by John Keith\, local art collector\, who is an Upfront Gallery supporter and introduced us to Milly’s work a few years ago. He dubbed Chaofeng ( Milly\, in English)\, “The Chinese Modigliani”. She was unaware who Modigliani was until he sent her a book of Modigliani images. Not speaking Mandarin\, John solved how to communicate with Milly. During the past 5 years Milly’s art has continued to develop\, and John has worked out how to buy\, pay for and get delivery of her work.Largely self-taught\, Milly’s work features almost entirely women\, in social meetings\, or a mum with children. They are all set in a stylish period China\, many with cats. Each work is totally original and she works daily\, unless she is in her small gallery in the Art Quarter of Xian\, the Chinese city famous for the Terracotta Warriors. \n\n\n\nAll paintings are for sale at £299.  Framed in England using  non-reflective glass. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMilly’  story in her words:“My name is Chaofeng Shang\, born on 16th Nov 1953 in Xi’an\, Shanxi. \n\n\n\nI went to Guomian Forth Factory Primary School\, and then studied in Xi’an 18’s High School. I started my first job in Xi’an Hardware and Electrical Company as a sales representative in 1970. I was then promoted to Sales Manager. \n\n\n\nIn 1996\, as a result of Chinese Structural Reform\, I was made redundant\, so I started my little gallery in Beilin\, Xi’an. This was when I started learning framing paintings\, and became very interested in painting. I then went to study Chinese Painting.  \n\n\n\nMy current painting style is influenced by Chinese traditional ink painting. Painting is the love of my life and each one of my works is the reflection of my passion”.

SUMMARY:VENICE - DANIEL  IBBOTSON
DESCRIPTION:Daniel Ibbotson\n\n\n\n“This exhibition will tell the story of my inclusion and ongoing adventure at this year’s Venice Biennale”. \n\n\n\nI was asked by European Cultural Centre to exhibit at this year’s show and it was an opportunity too good to turn down. I decided to do something really risky and go and live in the city of Venice and create my work\, virtually from scratch\, during the three weeks leading up to the show. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition at Upfront also includes work from other artists\, who contributed significantly to my “Venice Adventure”.
