Collective Nouns Illustration Exhibition

A few months ago we invited enterprising, exceptional artists to illustrate new collective nouns that have been collected by All-Sorts.org, a linguistic experiment that is taking the web by storm. We're now delighted to announce the 15 fantastic artists who will feature in the exhibition, which will launch on 15 June at the Owl and Lion Gallery and be open to the public from 16 June.

Mina Braun: a round of robin

Jez Burrows: a hush of librarians

 Emily Chappell: a stereoscopy of cyclops

Chris Dobson: an orchard of macs

Gary Mackean: a hanging of bats

Emily MacKenzie: a pandemonium of pandas

Kate McLelland: a maze of sparrows

Simon Madine: a fish of surrealists

Parko Polo: a seemingly empty room of ninjas

Matt Stockl: an unstable of imaginary horses

Dave Sutton: a sofa of dogs

Isabelle Ting: a parliament of owls

Bill Walsh: half a glassful of optimists

Rachel Wilson: a tangle of octopuses

Andrew Wright: a tinkle of euphemisms

The exhibition will run until 27 June and you can purchase limited edition prints or a Collective Nouns Artists' Book from the Owl and Lion Gallery (either through the online shop or drop by).
