BRINK Brings a Taste of the Swinging Sixties to Kenilworth


John Lennon Pop Art print by Bill Zygmant

A rare occasion to view iconic photographs of The Avengers, Marc Bolan, George Harrison, Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Lulu and Paul McCartney.

BRINK is proud to present the works of world renowned, celebrity photographer Bill Zygmant at Kenilworth Wines, in Talisman Square.

Passionate about photography from a very early age, Bill’s career began in 1962, when he joined a Fleet Street picture agency, later going freelance in 1966, taking pictures of stars, such as Bananarama, the Bee Gees, Peter Davidson, Mary Hopkins, Madness, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Rod Stewart and Barbara Windsor,  to name but a few, with his works regularly published in Billboard, Musical Express , Picture Post and many national British newspapers and magazines.

Bill also took the first photograph of John Lennon and Yoko Ono on the Kings Road in London, months before the official announcement of their relationship. And, he even has a suite named after him at The Hard Day’s Night Hotel in Liverpool, where two of his pictures are also displayed in the John Lennon Suite, next to the famous white piano. Recently, Bill’s work was also used on the cover of George Harrison’s biography ‘Working Class Mystic’.

In the Vino Veritas V showcase, BRINK will be unveiling  a rare, never seen before limited edition, Pop Art print of John Lennon in the style of Andy Warhol, as well as photographs of George Harrison, Paul McCartney, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Jimi Hendrix, Marc Bolan, Lulu and the Avengers.

All works are signed and available for sale. As a Christmas gift, BRINK is offering clients a 10% discount on any photographs purchased before 20th December.

The BRINK showcase will run from 1 December 2011 until January 31st 2012. Kenilworth Wines is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10.00am until 19.00pm.

ART ON THE EDGE 2: Call for sculptors, installation artists, painters, performers and makers


BRINK is currently viewing proposals from sculptors, installation artists, painters and performers for an up-coming one-day, open-air exhibition that we are organising at the Lions Grand Show, in Abbey Fields, Kenilworth on 2nd June 2011.

The work can be on any theme, but please take into consideration that the works will be on display to families.

This year, we are making ART ON THE EDGE bigger and better. As well the open-air exhibition, we will also have a marquee area for exhibiting paintings or more delicate works, and a limited number of stalls.

The exhibition is free to enter. Stalls may be shared and cost €40.00 for artists and £65.00 for companies or organisations.

A risk assessment will be required from the artist/exhibitor on acceptance of the work.
