FIGMENTS / OMARINA Launch - Photographed by Martin Barker...

Artist Omar Zingaro Bhatia on opening night.

Omar won 'The Skinny RSA New Contemporaries Award' last year and the current 3 week solo exhibition at The Briggait Gallery constitutes part of his prize. 

Entitled "FIGMENTS" it showcases a clutch of brand new paintings, a photo journey through Romania and an outstanding film he's made with his brother Ally. 

Omar also wanted to include our recent collaborative projects "OMARINA" and "The Art Suit" in the exhibition. You can see it all from Tues - Sat until the exhibition closes on Thursday 28th of April. 

All these pictures of the preview night were taken by one of the most interesting photographers I've met recently, Martin Barker.
