SHIRI ACHU'S FIRST ART EXHIBITION IN AUSTRALIA
‘Excited’
is an understatement as Shiri Achu eagerly prepares to for this debut
exhibition for the people of Australia! Since her first solo exhibition 6 years
ago, held at St Augustine's tower in Hackney, Shiri Achu has been fortunate to
have received the award of ‘The best artist in Brent; London and has gone on to
exhibit in various exciting places/events/cities. These include, The
Commonwealth Secretariat, The houses of Parliament, The Olympic African
Village... Cities include, Lisbon, Barcelona, Douala, Chiang Mai, to name a few.
Today,
Shiri Achu is excited to present to South Australia, Adelaide, for one week
only ‘37 In Print: AUS’. This exhibition follows ‘35InPrint:London’ which took place from 19th – 25th
April 2014 at the Strand Gallery in central London and ‘36InPrint:DC’ which took place from 5th – 14th
May 2016 at Gallery A in Central Washington DC. 35InPrint:London was great, the
exhibition was attended by the Mayor of Harrow amongst many others. At 36InPrint:DC
Shiri was deeply honoured to have received recognition from
Congressman Chris Van Hollen ' ...in presenting the
inaugural 36InPrintDC art exhibition, and with appreciation for using art to
capture the spirit of Africa...'
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.
37InPrint:AUS exhibition running from the 14th-23rd July 2016 will largely consist of 37
Framed Signed Limited Edition Shiri Achu Art Prints. Attendees will be able to
purchase these limited edition signed prints at very affordable prices.

the Opening/Private view on Thursday 14th
July, there will be live music from the fabulous Moore Black & The
