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.
PRSC IS NOT FUNDED, AND DEPENDS ON SALES AND DONATIONS IN ORDER TO PURSUE OUR MISSION.

PRSC Dedicated Outdoor Gallery Wall in Jamaica Street currently (4.03.12) sports a piece by George Harding
PRSC Expands, with New Gallery in Ground Floor of Jamaica Street Carriage Works.
The Ground Floor is used for key exhibitions, and as the manufacturing base for Stokes Croft China.
All fixtures and fittings are on wheels, creating a completely adaptable space, as befits a Grade II listed carriage works.
During the summer of 2010, we excavated the former "Wasteland" that was no 27-33 Jamaica Street.
It is thought that this gap in the streetscape is as a result of bomb damage during World War II.
We built a working yard, with a dedicated and lit Outdoor Gallery, with space to run workshops,
to curate the whole of Stokes Croft as an outdoor Gallery, giving local people the capacity
to have a direct, physical input into how their communal space develops.
PRSC has a well stocked array of tools, painting equipment etc.

------------------------
Stokes Croft is the most interesting and culturally diverse area in Bristol,
boasting more honesty, beauty and truth than any other part of the City.
It is precisely because Stokes Croft has been neglected,
that people of all backgrounds and circumstance
have learned to co-exist in an enclave of tolerance
that few from outside this rich area can begin to understand.
The Mission is to help Stokes Croft to recognise its special qualities,
by improving the streetscape through direct action,
by creating a sense of identity, a sense of belonging and of self-worth.
PRSC is determined to safeguard the unique character of the area. Because of the economically challenged nature of Stokes Croft,
there are many areas where there are gaps in the normal commercial landscape.
This can be seen as a disadvantage, a gap-toothed smile. We see only opportunity,
the opportunity to flavour forever the visual nature of our quarter.
More stimulating. Tidier. Safer. Better. Opportunity.
PRSC rejects top-down government.
The future of Stokes Croft must rest in the hands of the people
who live, work and play in the area.
To this end, we have produced an alternative vision,
one that actually aims to make the area more people- friendly,
one that plays to the strengths of the area.

Our modus operandi is to work with the nature of the built environment.
To improve through painting, to act gently.
To care for the fabric of the area.
