june 17 - september 26, 2009

british artist jeremy dickinson is just wrapping up his latest solo show at galerie xippas in athens, greece.
the show features large and small works by the london based painter all focusing on his passion for
transportation. dickinson’s work features methodical and meticulous reproductions of cars, buses and
trucks. he paints these vehicles in a realistic style that eventually reveals that they are in fact miniature
toys that are reproductions of actual objects. some of the small models are from dickinson’s childhood,
while others were later added to his collection. the toys are arranged in a variety of ways form being
stacked on top of each other to thematic groupings, set against solid neutral colour backgrounds.
his work ‘alludes both to the collector's obsession with the object of his passion and to the adult's wish
to revive a memory and immortalize its content.’

words and phrases are etched into the bottom of each of the clear glass plates, allowing users to
select and color in the words under the plate according to their moods. there are six different modes
to chose from: love, office, cheer-up, children, occasions and sorry. by coloring in the phrases below
each plate you can express how you are feeling to friends or family members who are enjoying
a meal with you.


'love' mode let's you express to your significant other things like 'I love you' or 'miss you'
