A curation project

Ovoid studio is run by artist Simon Fell from his studio in Ovingdean on the outskirts of Brighton. I do not know how this project will turn out yet, nor how it will manifest itself next, it is a work in progress. I do have high hopes for it based on the first outing at my garden shed in May 2024.

  • This project stands for artworks with:
    – Integrity
    – Personal and social meaning
    – Sense of purpose 
  • Ovoid seeks quality work that is in any sense experimental and based on trying fresh ideas and approaches
    – I want to show work that shows independent thinking
    – I want to promote work where marketing is only one of the considerations in making the work and not the one that determines the content and form.
    – I want to work with artists who produce work on the basis that it needs to be made, the work needs to exist both for the artists well-being and for our collective sanity.

You can follow any progress and events on the Ovoid studio Instagram account and there is also an Ovoid Facebook page

Ovoid studio seeks possible exhibition spaces

The original shed space in Ovingdean is no longer available as a venue unfortunately so Ovoid studio is now seeking spaces to mount shows in. In the Brighton area would be preferable but I am open to ideas. If you know of one or own one that you would like to open as a gallery, please get in touch.

Information for artists

Ovoid studio is an idealistic curation project. If you want to submit your work for consideration simply follow the Ovoid Instagram account and I will reciprocate.

When there is a show being prepared I will contact artists myself with a briefing document or an availability enquiry. Please do not send material at other times – I am afraid it’s another of those ‘we will contact you’ situations that all artists are familiar with.
