Just Desserts is compelling collection of amusing and incisive observations of restaurant clientele,
presented as a pre-Christmas selling exhibition in Shoreditch, by the SAVE Shoreditch Campaign.
These remarkable, witty cameos have been created by two waitresses that just happened to be professional
illustrators toiling to make ends meet in some of the area’s best restaurants, until less than a year
ago; using their own first-hand experiences of those they patiently served, they created their own
Just Desserts” available for you to see and buy from 15-30 November 2008.
Every piece on show will be for sale, with prints starting at just £50 and signed originals up to
œ250 making a personal and unique Christmas gift.
The Campaign
SAVE Shoreditch is raising funds to support its campaign for cohesive, positive regeneration and
responsible place-making. It is lobbying for a joined-up masterplan of the area, one that carries
tangible benefits for its Communities and residents.
The area involved encompasses Shoreditch, Bethnal Green and Brick Lane in London's vibrant, cultural heartland otherwise known to property developers as the City Fringe and into which they plan to extend miles of unwieldy office accommodation with high street style retail malls ... development that will undermine and overwhelm the neighbourhood.
The Artists
Just Desserts is the latest
collaboration between Laura Quick and Anna Magnowska who are both now
successful illustrators. We are, however, grateful to them for their candid legacy of portraiture
drawn from less prosperous days gone by and the generously donation of a percentage of all sale value
to the SAVE Shoreditch Campaign.
SAVE Shoreditch would also like to thank Origen Group, sponsors of Gallery 32 for their kind collaboration.
