Here is the first of our blogs about Frank Creber, one of the artists featured this week on our blog 'I consider myself to be an artist making positive images of my neighbourhood and my community and dealing with subjects which have a universal relevance. Out and about in east London, finding a good place to draw I see the varied effects of regeneration and the signs of social problems that locals face every day. Recently my paintings have a narrative about outdoor games e.g. Cricket and Tennis, this is a way of referring to the indomitable spirit of east London communities. I am making an image of a hoped for base level; where people in the community have positive human relationships, a sense of purpose and a decent home. The image above is of me working at the top of the Clifford Chance building in Docklands'. http://www.frankcreber.space I was thrilled to be featured in a speech by Lord Mawson to the House of Lords in December 2018 about my work in the community around Bromley by Bow. https://vimeo.com/307846717
