Bristol multimedia artist AK-One presents debut album and first gallery show in seven years

By Sarski Anderson  Wednesday Mar 27, 2024

Bristol music producer and painter AK-One uses both his chosen mediums to explore the same narratives of belonging and connection.

Returning to Centrespace Studios & Gallery for the first time in seven years in April, he will be launching Nothing Grows in a Straight Line, a new exhibition of work made over a three-year period.

The launch will coincide with the release of his debut album, which will be played for the first time in public on the same night.

The art collection will include a number of previously unseen works; when seen accompanied by the music, these paintings will afford visitors the opportunity to understand more about the artist’s process.

“My work for me works as a form of physical meditation,” he reflects; “it helps me come away from compulsive thought and the noise of day-to-day life.

“My aim is to create a doorway to step into a place of tranquillity and connection. This immersive experience is something that I want to evoke in people as they engage with my work.”

AK-One presents: Nothing Grows in a Straight Line is at Centrespace Studios & Gallery from April 5 at 5.30-10pm (launch night) and then 11am-6pm from April 6-10. For more information visit www.centrespace.org.uk or follow @ak.one_.
