Porsche NOW at Battersea Power Station
POP UP Art Exhibition
Nine Elms Arts Ministry for Porsche NOW
Much of Nine Elms Arts Ministry’s work focuses on nurturing wellbeing through creativity – allowing us to pause and let our creative souls blossom, as we embrace the ‘now’.
We hope that this collection will inspire you to take a moment, in the midst of your busyness, to pause, enjoy the art, and consider your place in creation and how you might nurture your own creative soul.
Look out for our Creative Soul Café arts wellbeing workshops in the Porsche NOW space in November.
Artists in the Collection:
Anna’s work is featured in and around the Battersea Power Station, within the History Trail metal etched plaques, and her illustrations formed part of the Power of Place exhibition. Her personal series of work, “Love River Swims” are, on the surface, portraits of a woman swimming, reminiscent of the French Riviera both in content and artistic style. They are rhythmic and bold. On a deeper level they are a metaphor for the generations of love passed down from ancestors and flowing through how to live a life centred in love. Coming from New Zealand Anna quickly became known as the ‘colourful funky creative’. Her NZ style is vibrant, modern, and bold and sets her apart from her contemporaries. Working within the Brand and Advertising industry, Anna has recently been running many Branding DNA and Fine Art Wellbeing workshops in Battersea.

Laura (Gooseglitters) is a Battersea based analogue collage artist from the Netherlands, who transforms discarded papers into striking new works of art. Passionate about saving these old books & magazines from landfill, her hand cut recycled collages are colourful, fun and bring you nostalgia in a modern way. Besides focussing on her own work Laura hosts popular workshops all over London, inspiring her audience to explore their creativity, reimagine waste materials and enjoy the mindful benefits of vintage collage. Laura’s work has been sold at such iconic stores as Selfridges, as well as seen on a much larger scale, in the giant 23m collage artwork she was commissioned to create by Dominus Group (which can be seen next to the US Embassy in Nine Elms).
