This summer, London artist Chris Long is celebrating childhood with This is Fun, a solo show at gallery hanahou featuring his new original works of children in their natural environments. With bright acrylics, Chris captures the exuberant feelings of children when adults have stepped out of the picture and kids are free to be themselves.

This is Fun will also feature a painted mural by the artist and a display of drawings by local kids. The gallery will be furnished with Bam-Bam Table & Chairs sets courtesy of Hic-cup Children’s Furniture by Christopher Ross (hic-cup.com).

Grownup visitors will smile to see something familiar and truthful in Chris’s images of childhood, and young visitors will be encouraged to explore their own creativity with a free coloring book of illustrations by Chris. Please RSVP [email protected] to attend the opening with the artist on July 10.

This is going to be fun!
