Ruby’s on the road to success

The London Arts Board has just unveiled its latest exhibit.

Once a disused municipal notice board on the corner of Peckham and Vestry roads, the miniature gallery – which is one of the smallest galleries in London if not the smallest – is dedicated to giving emerging artists the chance to have a solo exhibition in London.

The current artist on display is Ruby Dickson, who has a work titled Maybe the Real Art is the Friends We Made Along the Way on show until 3 April.

Curator and Royal College of Art alumnus Liza-Rose Burton said: “Displayed in a procession, the format of three identical prints can be likened to campaign images, usually found frantically pasted all over the city, overlapping and repeating the same message, promoting raves, park runs or missing cats.

“Ruby’s triptych however is raw and emotionally charged – the repetition only accentuating the intense expression of the figure.” people to enjoy great wine and delicious food while receiving some of south-east London’s finest hospitality.”

Ruby, who was born in 1996, has exhibited in locations all over London, from Harlesden to Hackney Wick. According to the London Arts Board, her paintings “attempt to situate frenetic feelings around our ephemeral lives and their inevitable end”.

Little Cellars wine bar and the Cellar Next Door bottle shop will open on Camberwell Church Street in June.
