First Friday Party@ic!!

The end of the year marks a new start for our featured artist this month, Jaclyn Bain, Attic’s own home-grown prodigy, who will be stepping into the art scene for the first time.

Jaclyn Bain

Her natural progression in the studio has been a joy to see and watch out for this one….at 5′1″ and growing artistically, she may well be the next little big thing!

Also catch more of the comic artist extraordinaire Neil Googe, who will be drawing on the walls upstars from 9pm onwards… ‘Is it a Bird?…Is it a plane?…No, it’s SUPERMAN!

First Friday TONIGHT!!!

To celebrate our First Friday First birthday we will be exhibiting works by four artists from Thailand and Malaysia.

The work on display is a truly wonderful selection of watercolours and drawings.

This is only half of the exhibition! The other half is in the gallery of Cassia, a great little restaurant just down the soi. The artists at Cassia are all part of the Bangkok Urban Sketchers group.
…
Cassia has embraced the First Friday spirit and will be offering 15% off its menu for the whole day, demonstrations by portrait artists, live traditional Thai music from 6 to 9pm, and will be serving traditional Thai herbal drinks.

A Rather Floral First Friday

At 7pm on Friday, 3rd September it was raining. A few moments earlier, it was pouring. Attic staff stood in the shelter of the studio thinking “Oh no, all this work and no body’s going to turn up”. Boy were we wrong…

It seemed as if people just kept showing up. One by one, two by two, in the taxi load. By 10pm the place was heaving, and they still didn’t stop coming!

Another Bloomin’ First Friday

Guess what? It’s that time of the month again…First Friday is being whispered in the streets; people are at home, as we speak, picking their outfits; And the flower market is going to get a lot of business tonight.

Why you ask? Because this First Friday, we’re all about the blossom. The studio will be adorned in the magnificently vibrant oil paintings of Leilani Franklin-Apted.

While upstairs, Alan Scott-Moncrieff will be demonstrating his impasto painting technique.

9th First Friday

This month’s First Friday was an event to be remembered. With Martin Collins exhibiting, Attic was introduced to a whole bunch of new faces and a whole bunch of new faces were introduced to Attic. That’s what we like…new FF recruits!

The music was rocking, the crowd was jiving, and we even had a surprise visit from local band, The Cepheid Variable, who played a great acoustic set to the hopping audience.

Photographers, painters, multi-media artists, cartoonists, writers, sculptors, art teachers, business people, collectors, socialites and crazies. These are just a few of the people you’ll find at Attic’s First Friday.

First Friday #9 – 6th August

‘First Friday Party’ #9

6th August from 7.30pm – midnight

Attic Studios, Sukhumvit Soi 31 – Pink Elephant outside.

First Friday is upon us once more. This month we have special guest artist – Martin Collins – displaying his photo media works on every available surface in the studio.

As usual there will be drink and a plethora of interesting and strange people to talk to, including 3 of Elsie’s sons… the strangest of the lot…kidding.

Meet us at Attic Studios for another memorable night!

Elsie missing on FF.

Another First Friday tucked under our belt. A whole bunch of new faces and loyal regulars turned up; a great crowd. We even had an antenna hooked up so football enthusiasts didn’t miss out. We think of everything, people! Don’t underestimate the Attic.

Elsie has flown the coop. She’s in the U.K. at the moment attending her son’s graduation. She will be back in 10 days, family in tow. We missed her on First Friday. It just wasn’t the same. But the Attic gang held it together, be it with sticky tape and blue tac.

First Friday #8 – 2nd June

First Friday is upon us yet again! The months seem to be zipping by these days. What is that? Maybe I’m having too much fun…

With the curfew lifted, the fires out and the redshirts in the laundry, you have no excuse, my friends. This month the stars of the show are our students, who will be  displaying the brilliant work they have completed in the studio over the last month.

Along side our star pupils will be pieces I (being Kat) completed before my brief excursion. If you’re expecting paintings inspired by Europe, hold your horses. I’ve only been back for two weeks…I’m going to need a little more time.

The Major Social Event of the Week – Our First Friday Party #7!

“Make Art, Not War!”

….and tomorrow, June 4th IS the night to come celebrate and party!

Here is a little sneak preview of some of Elsie’s daily paintings & Gavin’s photographs that will be on display.

We’re looking forward to seeing you!

Bangkok’s a Blast & Attic Studios will be a Riot!

You are cordially invited to come celebrate the return of Bangkok with our #7 First Friday – and PARTY!

This time around we’ve lined up some exciting stuff for you…

Elsie will be previewing an exhibition of newly inspired and hugely popular little oil paintings she’s being busily creating, which capture recent political events so beautifully. They form a fantastic foundation stone for her new project, Elsie’s Daily Paintings.

Also on display will be photographs of the recent war-zone in downtown Beirut, oops I mean Bangkok. Gavin has been a journalist for over 20 years and he’s familiar with serial blasts, religious riots and political strife around the world so he found Bangkok a blast… and his photographs are stunning!
