BELLA HOWARD – LOVE BUZZ
2012-02-06The title of the show takes its cue from Howard’s favourite Nirvana track, Love Buzz, and perfectly evokes the attitude and youthful spirit that permeates her work.
The photographs feature images of models, it girls, pop stars, bands and friends at house parties, hangouts, festivals and road trips. Akin to a teen bedroom, the main space displays large format limited edition prints of her eclectic subjects. Lana Del Rey, Jack Donoghue and Anna Brewster all feature prominently in the Front Room, taped up and scattered over the walls the striking images are akin to posters, mimicking the same youthful exuberance that the shots display.
Photocopies of fanzines Howard first started making aged 16 cover the back wall of the exhibition. These are superbly complemented by a large heart collage of Polaroid snapshots taken by Howard on her varied adventures.
Exhibition runs through to February 18th, 2012
