Local artist Alice Boyle is proud to launch her fourth solo show in London at the Bedfordbury Gallery, running from the 15th-21st of May.

The Booker Prize winner, Ben Okri, has chosen one of Alice's paintings to publicise the first stage adaptation of one of his stories, 'The Cosmic Destiny', at this year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

As part of the exhibition's concept, Alice has five people of different interests naming each of her paintings. These titles will be displayed anonymously next to each image, potentially making the show interactive, and, encouraging discussion.

Titling the paintings will be: Christopher Balfour, former head of Christies Europe for 5 years; Dr Oliver Jackson, who has little experience of the art world; Elisa Segrave, the renowned author of, 'The Diary of a Breast'; Ruby and Chilli Holt, sisters of ages 6 and 8 working together; and Alice herself.

'The Inward Journey' is a new collection of mixed media paintings, which are inspired by Alice's continuing interest in the power of myth and dreams, the use of textures and contrasts and the search for individual wholeness through religion, mythology and art.
