AN ART PIECE WORTH TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS COULD BE YOURS, HERE'S HOW TO GET IT!


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.

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