posted by Marcroy March 20, 2014

Jim Stoten’s ‘Eye In The Sky’ exhibition at DreamBagsJaguarShoes will launch with a private view on 24th March and will run all of the way until 20th July, so there are no excuses for not seeing this show. Jim Stoten is a multi-talented hybrid artist, illustrator, sculptor, musician and blogger based in East London who is set to blow you away with his new exhibition.

*ZOOOOM!* – SCULPTURE
A fleet of large-scale technicolour toy planes will take on an imaginative and incredible twist, bursting forth from the walls and ceilings filling the space above the viewers head.

*WHOOSH!* – ILLUSTRATION
New illustrative works will be presented as detailed wallpapers and murals that will envelope his squadron of amazing aviators. The bright colours and visuals will bring a surreal dynamic to the space, creating a depth and explosion of excitement above and around the viewer.

*POW!* – LASERS, PROJECTIONS & HOLOGRAPHIC GLASSES
Lights, lasers and projected visuals interspersed amongst the flying objects create an other-worldly atmosphere that will transport the viewer into the psychedelia. These lit elements can take on a whole new dynamic with the use of a viewing device. Light is split diffused and manipulated, the viewer can see bursts of colour and light create rainbows that streak across the sky. A truly otherworldly viewpoint for the show which will transport the viewing public onto another plain of perception.

*BLAM!* – LIVE MUSIC AND WORKSHOPS
Jim Stoten will bring into the venue his bizarre band of misfits ‘Owen & The Eyeballs’ for some exclusive gigs! With
