Four Square Fine Arts are delighted to have Brendan Jamison's sculptures from suagr cubes in our forthcoming exhibition Genius Loci: A Sense of Place, running from 2nd to 7th July at the Store Street Gallery, 32 Store Street, London WC1E 7BS from 11am - 6pm.
As creator of the 'sugar cube' in the UK, Sir Henry Tate made his fortune in the sugar trade and was a very significant art collector throughout the Victorian era. He bequeathed his art collection to the nation and along with a considerable financial donation established the original Tate gallery in London. Brendan Jamison first explored the idea of carving in sugar during his MA at the University of Ulster nearly 10 years ago. Since then he has won large-scale commissions including one to create a scale version of Tate Modern for the London Festival of Architecture in February 2010. Other large buildings followed including a stunning scale model of Helen's Tower exhibited in the Towner Art Museum in Eastbourne last year in their Compulsive, Obsessive, Repetitive exhibition.
