Fragments

Fragments is an exhibition of bronze sculptures from Canadian artist Blake.

Fragments is a collection of nineteen quarter life-size bronze sculptures by Canadian artist Blake. The proceeds from the entire collection of Fragments are being donated to fund landmine clearance through the United Nations Association programs Adopt-A-Minefield and No-More-Landmines.

Blake's shocking, yet hauntingly beautiful sculptures were inspired by his experiences in post-war Vietnam where he witnessed the tragedy of landmines. The exhibition's broken bodies speak of the tragic effect of military waste on society.

Landmines and unexploded ordnance are a global problem and our generations' legacy. Fragments sculptures are a part of the solution and have already cleared landmines, cluster bombs and other unexploded weapons from communities and villages in Vietnam. In Angola, Fragments sculptures have funded equipment to map the location of mine fields.

The exhibition is taking place at Saint Ethelburga's on Bishopsgate from Monday May 19th to Saturday May 31st and is open daily from 11am will Blake speak about the exhibition every day at 4pm.
