‘Always on My Mind Part 2’ is a contemplative art exhibition curated by Harry Pye, aiming to raise funds for The National Brain Appeal.
Buying work from this show will help to raise much-needed funds for The National Hospital of Neurology and Neurosurgery and the UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology, for whom The National Brain Appeal is the dedicated charity. The hospital is one of the world’s leading centres for the diagnosis, treatment and care of patients with a wide range of neurological and neuromuscular conditions including stroke, multiple sclerosis, brain cancer, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, migraine and dementia.
The artists were selected by Harry Pye, who has been described as “a veteran organiser of eccentric exhibitions” by art critic and writer, Fisun Güner, and as “one of London’s premiere puckish artists and curators” by art and fashion writer, Ana Finel Honigman. Pye has rounded up a plethora of uniquely talented and interesting art makers and asked them to reveal what is on their mind. His selection includes not only recent graduates from the UK’s best art schools but also some of the most respected art tutors. Also added into the mix are a Turner Prize winner, a John Moore’s Painting Prize winner, and a few stars of this year’s Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.

After seeing images intended for ‘Always On My Mind Part 2’ art critic, Charles Darwent, said:
Held in aid of The National Brain Appeal, this show is aptly thoughtful. Its subject is the mind – its endless diversity, its many meanings; its vulnerability to neurological disease. I would highly recommend a visit.

Opening party Thursday 31st August from 6pm till 9pm.
