PRESS RELEASE
MYTHOLOGY IN LONDON
An Exhibition of Etchings by Anna Alcock at Tokarska Gallery
163 Forest Rd., Walthamstow, London E17 6HE

Private View: 15 March 6-9pm
Opening Hours: 12-7pm
Anna Alcock is delighted to be showcasing a suite of etchings based on Classical Greek and Roman mythology at Tokarska Gallery. Tokarska Gallery in Forest Road is a few minutes from Inky Cuttlefish Studios where she works and does her fine art printmaking.
Anna Alcock’s love of stories and mythology started when she was young and continued to grow through her studies in South Africa when she majored in Classical Civilisations as part of her BA Fine Art (Hons) degree. She completed a MA Printmaking in London in 2004. She exhibits regularly and her art are in private and public collections around the world.
Anna Alcock uses Greek and Roman mythological images and populates them with modern day narratives that are of significance to her living in London now. The exhibition will also include an exclusive bound suite of 15 etchings, which will be exhibited alongside etching collages and tabloids of myths with personal modern day stories that she imbues with her unique style and bold colours.
By using her experience of London and applying ancient Greek and Roman cultural thinking the theme of mythology is applied to everyday events for example bankers loss of status during the recent recession is illustrated by the myth of ‘Icarus’. Archetypes are found in our unconscious daily lives as shown in ‘Demeter’, the story of a mother’s search for her daughter ‘Persephone’ and the resulting winter of her grief.
For more information or images about the exhibition please email or call anna@annaalcock.com 07753686331.
