Pop-up Polopos, Casa 3 Artist residence

We are proud to announce that Nick Fudge will be exhibiting some of his latest work with us on August 3!

"Fudge studied at Goldsmiths College, London, as a member of the YBA (Young British Artists) generation along with Damien Hirst, Sarah Lucas, Liam Gillick, Gary Hume, and Michael Landy. For the twenty-five years that Fudge remained in self-imposed exile from the art world, he made and kept his ongoing work in secret, showing his paintings and digital works to only a few other artists and close friends."

We met Nick in Orgiva a couple of weeks ago and he liked what we are trying to set up here in Polopos. A week later we gave him a tour around the village and he decided to join us. He is now living and painting in Polopos.

Nick will be exhibiting 12 paintings at Casa 3 during the Pop-up Polopos art walk.

I announced "I don't feel at home anymore" as I watched how my mother carefully placed our belongings in boxes around me.
