REFLECTING ON ART AND NUDES

The Crystal Palace Artists' Open House Emerging Artists' Initiative presents… Pinkwolf

West Norwood Library & Picturehouse, London UK SE27 9JU 10 am - 10 pm daily | Until 27th June 2026

A free exhibition with proceeds from all sales going to the artist’s growth and funding public programmes in advancing and diversifying engagement in visual storytelling.

Reflections Art Fest 2026 has now come to a close, and massive kudos goes out to its lead artist and inspiration Pinkwolf, whose final exhibition of the festival is proving a powerful testament to what happens when we create genuine space for emerging artists to be fully seen.

This first solo show by the artist (and his London debut) displays a lifetime of introspective work - "This is a very important moment for me as it's currently displaying a lifetime of introspective work as an artist but also as a human being with all I have and don't."

The impact has been immediate and profound. Visitors have connected deeply with the work, moved by Pinkwolf's vulnerability and honesty. One visitor shared: "It's been the highlight of my week honestly. Am dreaming of a life far far away from this one, and seeing your journey has helped me believe it's possible."

This is the power of what we seek to achieve, creating platforms where vulnerable, honest creative work can inspire and transform those who encounter it. Pinkwolf's exhibition proves that emerging artists have essential stories to tell, and audiences are hungry to hear them.

Sales proceeds go towards supporting the artist’s growth and funding public programmes in advancing and diversifying engagement in visual storytelling.

Life Drawing at Ajamu Studios

198 Contemporary Arts & Learning, London UK SE24 0JT Fortnightly Tuesdays, 7 - 9 pm

The atmosphere at Kink and Draw last Tuesday was electric - a sold out session featuring an exceptional, simply inspiring model, Conor: “Incredible art and a welcoming, creative community.“

The participants agreed, with one saying it was the best life drawing experience she’s had in a long time, and another who lives with ADHD reflecting reflecting: “I thought it was going to be too much for me, focusing. But, the length of poses, the timings, everything… It helped me regulate. Once I started, I didn’t want to stop.“

Frankly, that’s what we aim for - a space where creative practice becomes genuinely grounding and nourishing.

Whether you're a seasoned life drawer or brand new to the experience, whether you came to last Tuesday's session or you're discovering us for the first time, there's a place for you. Come for the drawing. Stay for the community. Guidance and refreshments are included.

In partnership with artist-photographer, curator, archivist and activist Ajamu X, who supports creatives and communities through studio hire and professional photography. (@ajamustudios)
