S plit over two different venues\, CBS Gallery (Liverpool) and Pink Sands St udio (Birkenhead)\, the two shows are themed as seasonal issues\, Spring/S ummer and Autumn/Winter.\n\nRoxy and Paddy have been collaborating for 14 years in life and art and have been long-time friends of ours at CBS so it ’s with great pleasure that we host this long overdue (and pandemic-dela yed) exhibition in partnership with Pink Sands Studio.\n\n“In the mid 20 th century Coca Cola began releasing a free advertising pamphlet called ‘Pause for Living’. Four colourful seasonal issues a year offered hos ting advice\, illustrated crafting ideas and party tips\; aimed at housewi ves and reminding them to entertain with Coke.\n\nFast forward to 2020\, w hat a year for us all.\n\nThis work was mostly completed last year but it was started a year or so before. Our grappling with a more settled and tbh more boring lifestyle was only exacerbated by the onset of lockdown. Our rented home environment\, full of objects\, plants and knick-knacks all be came close friends for better or worse. Time spent reflecting on nomadic y earnings\, handed down aspirations\, nostalgic longing\, self-sufficiency and daily routines\; values that are advertised to us by objects in the ho me\; all in a moment like none any of us had ever experienced.\n\nWe prese nt still lives\, paintings and sculptural vignettes that attempt to captur e a mixture of feelings and changeable emotions. (Objects which further cl utter our lives lol). We can’t say that everything that happened in 2020 was all bad\, amongst some very painful times there were some positive ou tcomes. Let’s just say we tried to ‘PFL’ and be ok with it.”\n\nRo xy &\; Paddy\nhttps://roxytopiapaddygould.com\nInstagram - @roxytopia_a nd_paddygould\n\nPause for Living is split over two venues. \n\nPause f or Living\, SPRING/SUMMER at CBS Gallery\, 63 Blundell Street\, Liverpool\ , L1 0AJ.\nOpening - Thurs 9th September\, 5-9pm\nOpen by appointment unti l 26th September.\nhttps://cbsgallery.co.uk\nInstagram - @cbsgallery\n\nPa use for Living\, AUTUMN/WINTER at Pink Sands Studio\, 28C Argyle Street\, Birkenhead\, CH41 6AE.\nOpening - Sat 18th September\, 2-5pm\nOpen by app ointment until 3rd October.\nhttps://pinksandsstudio.com\nInstagram - @pin k_sands_studio\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.artinliverpool.com/wp-content/upload s/2021/08/CBS-Header-central-black-line-PS-copy.jpg LOCATION:CBS Gallery\, 63 Blundell Street\, Liverpool\, L1 0AJ\, Liverpool\ , United Kingdom GEO:53.396605;-2.983911 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=63 Blundell Street\, Liverp ool\, L1 0AJ\, Liverpool\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=CBS G allery:geo:53.396605,-2.983911 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20210328T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0000 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 TZNAME:BST END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
