Rogue Gene Collective

Rogue Gene Collective is a small group of artists who are committed to helping each other attain a higher level of visibility for their work. We do this by networking; pooling resources, information, knowledge and contacts. There are currently seven members, and five guest artists.

As well as being artists, all members act as agents, couriers and publicists for the other members. The members have been chosen to be different in locale, gender, education, artistic genre and preferred technique. This means we offer a wide variety of quality original artwork to the collector, occasional buyer or corporate buyer.

View the recent art uploaded by our members and guests.

Counting down to Chelmsford Arts Trail 2010

by Andrea Farmer
Counting down to the Arts Trail now, so lots to do this week. I visited my exhibition venue a few weeks back, so now I need to decide exactly which artworks from my collection I am going to exhibit at Goldsmith Webb Opticians. I have been allocated space in the front window display - which will suit my smaller artworks plus a vast amount of wall space inside for my large landscape and coastal

First Curated Treasury

by Aitch
Well, I've finally managed to create my first ever Treasury on Etsy. I'm pleased to say that it was easy to do and I'm not going to stop now! I think they must have changed the way in which Treasuries are created. ( A Treasury is basically a collection of items on Etsy selected by the person curating the treasury) These are a small selection of the items I included in my Treasury, but you can

I may have to paint some more in

I delivered my postcard sized painting and collected my leaflets from the trail organisers last night.

'Beach Pebbles' - NEW coastal landscape painting

by Andrea Farmer
'Beach Pebbles' is the latest addition to my ethereal coastal landscape collection. Expanding on my mixed media work, I have incorporated a beach pebble amongst the painted pebbles in this painting which is created on a 90 x 350 x 45 mm chunky wood panel. The theme is 'found objects' - items you find on a beach or along the coast. Please note, I did not steal the pebble from a beach - I

Opening night at BADS

by Aitch
The opening night for Bilton Amateur Dramatic Society last night at the Bilton Theatre was a great success. The audience loved both plays and responded really well to all the humour. We were very happy at the end of the evening. One of the nicest compliments we received was from two members of our Youth Section who watched it. They said that they hardly recognised Keith - not because of how he

BADS dress rehearsal time!

by Aitch
I can't believe we are at the dress rehearsal stage already! It doesn't seem long ago that we first read the script for our play- here we are getting ready for opening night on Tuesday! I only hope the weather cools down a tad, otherwise we will be sweltering on stage! No air conditioning in our little theatre, I'm afraid - we're lucky to have central heating in the winter months! Anyway, I

Paper Cup completed

by Aitch
As can be seen by the Event of Facebook here, the 20-21 Visual Arts Centre in Scunthorpe are hosting a paper cups exhibition to highlight the environmental concerns surrounding the use of disposable packaging in takeaway food, as well as breathe new life into the humble object that would normally be thrown away. This morning, with the aid of a mini hot glue gun and my acrylic paints, I have
