Art: “Nobut Summat” at the Atlantis Bookshop

Atlantis Boookshop in London currently has an exhibition called “Nobut summat”, which in the Yorkshire dialect means: “Something… or nothing”.  It's a collection of tiny frames containing found objects as a record of spirit of place and popular culture. This is what the artist, Steve Sheasby, says about his work:

“Growing up in West Yorkshire in the 1970s, I was deeply affected by the declining industrial landscape.  I trained for three years at the Royal College of Art, but afterwards was content to spend three decades restoring other people’s artworks.  It was only when I began training in psychic mediumship — with Gary Wright, the medium-in-residence at the Atlantis Bookshop — that a shift occurred and creativity started to flow through me.  I asked myself a question: could a Spirit Art be created with just a few found objects?  The artist as intuitive archivist.  This exhibition is the culmination of that two-year journey.  I hope you enjoy it.”

“Nobut summat” runs until 29 November and is free to view. The Atlantis Bookshop is open Monday to Saturday at 49a Museum Street, London, WC1A 1LY. Visit the website for more details: http://theatlantisbookshop.com/
