Kiran Hanif
Kiran Hanif combines two of her great passions in life: travel and photography. She whole-heartedly believes that travel helps broaden one's view of the world. Therefore meeting people from different communities and countries, experiencing other cultures, witnessing beauty and at times the ugliness of the world has helped her understand that all of our lives are at once interconnected and individual. Through travelling she has come to the understanding that the beauty of this world is the fact that we are all different
Until 30 December 2011 |

Lauren Paige
Lauren Paige’s work is an ongoing study of self-portraiture; a journey she observed following a brief observational study in 2009. Using a variety of painting and drawing media and techniques; these emotive pieces indicate the experimental, controlled, conceptual, explorative, and impulsive facets of one’s identity. Further, the presence of text in individual pieces lay emphasis to the complexity of our identities; overall, encouraging / challenging the viewer to observe characteristics within their own.

India’s Golden Triangle
Mervyn Mitchell
Reminiscent of previous times, cocooned in his chauffer driven taxi, Mervyn secretly observes the life of everyday people that live within India’s Golden Triangle. The exhibition asks the question that although India is experiencing strong economic growth: “If I was to take the same journey in 20 years time, would the view have changed?”
New Art Exchange is proud to support 'India's Golden Triangle' exhibition at the Harley Gallery.

Jaskirt Dhaliwal
The idea of a British artist being as successful as Madonna or Eminem used to be unimaginable. However, the emergence of artists like M.I.A and Jay Sean has made that a possibility.
British Asian Musicians is a photographic exhibition that celebrates and documents the achievements that British Asians have made in music and exhibits the lesser know artist emerging onto the scene.
The cultural and historical importance of these musicians is immense, they represent, reflect and connect with today’s second and third generation of British Asians and despite differing styles of music or the message they project, all have commonalities; South Asian roots and a place in British Asian culture.

Kim Thompson
Contemporary Timeline Portraits Of A Jamaican Family is a narrative portraiture piece depicting the story of Kim Thompson's grandparents, Stelma and Samuel Miller, from their arrival in Nottingham in the 1950s.
The work pays tribute to Kim's maternal family, however, her research for the piece forced her to engage with each subject in ways she had not expected, conjuring acute feelings and new ideas abouther family and her roots. The visual style of this piece serves as a direct translation of some of these thoughts, but Kim hopes it is at least clear enough to see in each piece her newly informed sense of pride.
