From Cocktails to Wine –
for a combination of tasting the most imaginative and adventurous wines from the
Old and New World
and
Viewing unusual art –
this is a Wine Tasting not to be missed - brought to you by the
Redandwhitewineclub
in conjunction with art galleries -
Pure Evil and Gallery Nosco
‘Artists of wine: Worlds stars of tomorrow’
For a great artist, his art is always a statement with a personal stamp that a creator puts on his work. Facing a myriad of choices, an artist constantly searches for the balance between the controlling and creative forces. A balance which even great winemakers search for. Just as a painter creates a painting so does a great winemaker create a wine using a whole palette of winemaking variables to satisfy our senses. Who are these modern wine geniuses? That’s what our tasting ‘Artists of wine: Worlds stars of tomorrow” is all about. During the evening we will enjoy the creations of some of the most adventurous and imaginative winemakers from the Old and New World. We are delighted to present this project in partnership with Pure Evil Gallery (www.pureevil.eu) and GalleryNosco (http://www.gallerynosco.com/). Thanks to them we will not only fill our glasses with great wine but also fill our eyes with great art.
When:15th of AprilTime: 7.30-9.30Where: 1-5 Exhibition Road, South Kensington, SW7 2 HE
Price: 30 GDP on the door or 25 GDP if you pay by 10 April (for the details of booking and payment please e-mail - redandwhitewineclub@gmail.com
The tasting will be hosted by Alya Kharchenko, a journalist who after receiving qualifications from the London Wine and Spirit Educational Trustand School of Sommelier in Moscow, gained experience in the wine trade and has organised many tutored wine tastings.
The Art Exhibition finishes 30 April 2009 – for more information go to –

Art with a difference – this event explores a very difficult subject – female circumcision – a very different form of sexual abuse -
The London Original Print Fair presents - A Graphic Conversation - Paula Rego in conversation with Marco LivingstoneThe Royal Academy of Arts, The Reynolds Room, Wednesday 22 April, 7pm, Limited seats available. In the run-up to the opening of the Paula Rego Museum in Portugal, the celebrated artist discusses her new work on female circumcision with art historian Marco Livingstone.Paula Rego’s new works, based on the controversial subject of female circumcision, will be launched by Marlborough Graphics at the London Original Print Fair 09. Rego established an early reputation with her surreal collages, later populated with subversive cartoon-like animals. In 1988, a retrospective at the Serpentine Gallery in London confirmed her international reputation. A powerful original female voice, she is now one of Europe's most sought after artists. A painter of 'stories', her characters enact a variety of roles and depict disquieting tensions below the surface. The Paula Rego museum, designed by architect Souto de Moura, is planned to open this September in Cascais, Portugal. Rego will be donating to the appropriately named building, House of Stories, a complete set of her prints together with her collection of paintings and drawings by Victor Willing. Marco Livingstone has written about Paula Rego's work on a number of occasions and was the curator of her comprehensive 2007 retrospective at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid. His monograph on Peter Blake, 'Peter Blake: one man show', will be published by Lund Humphries in May, and is currently writing a book on the painter Peter Kinley.Tickets: £10 (plus £1.50 transaction fee) includes entry to the Print Fair (special late opening until 7pm) and the LOPF catalogue *Please note lines will be open for bookings from Wednesday 8 AprilBooking essential on 0844 209 1866 or www.keithprowse.com Tickets cannot not be bought or made refundable at the Royal Academy of Arts ticket deskPress information: Contact Julia Huff at Theresa Simon & Partners -T. 020 7734 4800 E. julia@theresasimon.com - Venue information: Royal Academy of Arts, The Reynolds Room, Burlington House, Piccadilly, London W1J 0BD.
