• Personal and Essential Oils: The Works of Thomas Modschiedler at The Coningsby Gallery

  Art

  19 Mar 2012 to 24 Mar 2012

  Born in Germany in 1955, Thomas Modschiedler started his painting career aged 15, using a figurative style through watercolours and oils. His art teachers at the Albert Einstein High School in Munich were the first to spot his talent and encourage him to develop his skills further. At the end of the 1970s, Thomas Modschiedler moved to France to pursue his medical studies, first in Marseille then in Bordeaux. Inspired by the magnificent scenery from the Provence and Aquitaine regions, he mainly devoted himself to watercolours. Settling in Nice in 1992 to open his private practice as a Plastic and Aesthetic Surgeon, Thomas Modschiedler was finally able to combine his talents for Arts and Beauty. In the mid-1990s, his style resolutely moved towards abstract art in order to convey his emotions.

• Up My Street at The Coningsby Gallery

  Art

  5 Mar 2012 to 8 Mar 2012

  That’s why we’ve invited a number of celebrated artists and designers to donate a piece of art to Shelter’s ‘Up My Street’ exhibition and auction this spring. Each donated item will represent an aspect of a street each artist has an emotional connection to - perhaps where their first love lived, a childhood home, their favourite neighbour or the view from their bedroom window.
