SHIRI ACHU'S FIRST ART EXHIBITION
IN THE USA and the artist is all excited as well as nervous!
Since her first solo exhibition 6
years ago, held at the quirky St Augustine's Tower in Hackney, East London, Shiri
has been fortunate to have received the award of ‘The best artist in Brent’ (North
West London) and has exhibited in various exciting places/events/cities. These
include, The Commonwealth Secretariat, The Houses of Parliament, The Olympic
African Village...Cities include Adelaide, Lisbon, Barcelona, Douala, and
Chiang Mai, to name a few.
Today,
Shiri Achu is excited to present in Washington DC, for one week only ‘36 In
Print: DC’. This exhibition follows ‘35InPrint: London’ which took place from
19th – 25th April 2014 at the Strand Gallery in central
London. It was a great success and it saw the Mayor of Harrow attending amongst
many others.
Shiri
Achu’s art comes from every day, unsurprising yet unexpectedly vivid moments,
times, places and objects. She seeks to capture the spirit of her subjects and
make them come alive through form, colour, texture and tone. She draws insight
from her travels but in general her inspiration is very broad; from natural
moments captured in Africa to still objects, from the human form to the human
in action etc.
Ever
increasingly so, one of the aim of Shiri Achu Art is to showcase the African
culture worldwide. She finds beauty in the woman carrying her child on her back
and going her way, she finds beauty in the old lady who makes here ‘achu’ in
her dark outdoor kitchen for her grandchildren, she finds beauty in the African
fabrics, she finds beauty, envy even, in the young girl climbing the tree!! So
she paints these images. For her, they are beautiful moments and for that
moment, whilst she works on that piece she buries herself in the story and in
the culture.
36InPrint:
DC exhibition will largely consist of 36 Framed Signed Limited Edition Shiri Achu
Art Prints. You will be able to purchase these limited signed prints at very

During
the private view on Thursday 5th May, there will be live music from
