I have only once before seen work by Apparan and that was on a collaborative gate piece at Upfest last year with Jelly. Finding this piece on a work trip to London was therefore a real treat. The portrait is really beautifully done, although the hair looks a little more abstract than the rest of the portrait.

There is a lot of depth in the piece, and the shadows around the lady’s neck are very nicely painted. I also really like the leaf print dress, and the folds in the material. There is something very summery about the piece, augmented by the verdant mini-meadow in front of it. Wonderful work from Apparan.

  1. Went there last Thursday but couldn’t go inside as there was a private do for a school group going on. Despite visiting the Westfield quite a few times previously I had no idea all that was there until you started posting stuff. Some of the writing is well weathered so it’s obviously been there a while.

  2. You may have seen Apparan at Upfest in 2018 and she’s done Cheltenham a few times as well. I’ve seen her stuff on previous London visits. I think I got some paste-ups of hers waiting to be posted sometime in the distant future
